Immigration Rallies

Wow, now that was a protest march. Marc Cooper has a good overview of the issue that makes sense to me, though I'm far from an authority on the topic. From my perspective, it was interesting to watch how the media seemed to get blindsided by this turnout of hundreds of thousands in the streets, compared to how meticulously it had pumped and puffed the anti-war rallies that drew a few hundred. Media out of touch with minorities and their issues? Media hand-feeding its pet causes? Little bit of both?
