DON’T FORGET!

Today is the May Day General Strike: A Day without Immigrants!
No Work, No School, No Selling, No Buying!
via CNN.

Monday’s events will be unprecedented in their scope, said Nativo Lopez, president of the Mexican-American Political Association.
“We’re going to see something that’s never occurred in the history of this United States — a day in which immigrants withhold their labor, withhold their consuming power — they don’t go to school, they don’t go shopping, they don’t go selling,” Lopez said.
About 7.2 million illegal immigrants hold jobs in the United States, making up 4.9 percent of the overall labor force, according to a recent study by the Pew Hispanic Center. Undocumented workers make up 24 percent of farmworkers and hold 14 percent of construction jobs, the study found.
Other estimates put the total number of illegal immigrants in the United States at more than 11 million.
