WASHINGTON – Immigrants in several cities in the United States participate this Monday in the initiative known as A day without immigrants as part of the demand for immigration reform to the government of President Joe Biden.
According to the Los Angeles Times, there will be mobilizations in cities such as Washington DC, Los Angeles, New York, Houston, Miami, Boston, Dallas, Atlanta, San Francisco and Philadelphia, among others, as reported on the portal. undiasininmigrantes.com.
“We will have a peaceful demonstration in front of the White House, where people speak, share their stories and the government sees that we are dissatisfied with the current immigration policy,” said one of the organizers of the initiative, Carlos Eduardo Espinosa.
THERE WILL BE MOBILIZATIONS IN SEVERAL CITIES IN THE UNITED STATES
The idea is not to participate in activities so that society feels what it is like not to have immigrants who work and consume, as they do every day: not going to school, not going to work, and not buying.
The activists point out that the day, with peaceful mobilizations, will serve to pressure the government to approve an immigration reform that brings the 11 million undocumented immigrants out of the shadows.
One of the first protests known as A day without immigrants, was on February 17, 2017, which included mobilizations in several cities in the country.
