FLAG SALUTE- Immigration reform supporters lift a large American flag during their march to City Hall in downtown Los Angeles May 1, known as "May Day." Police estimated the crowd totaled approximately 25,000, which is a significant drop-off from the estimated 500,000 marchers at the 2006 rally. This was the first of two rallies in L.A. and one of many staged around the country. It's estimated that 12 million illegal immigrants live and work in the United States. Congress failed to pass immigration reform in its last session struggling to reconcile divergent opinions on the issue.
