Hundreds of immigrants marched in Louisville yesterday, joining a wave of national demonstrations and boycotts meant to highlight their economic clout as Congress debates stricter immigration laws.
Across the country, hundreds of thousands of mostly Hispanic immigrants skipped work and took to the streets in a nationwide boycott that, while far from unified, slowed or shut down farms, factories, markets and restaurants
In Kentucky and Southern Indiana, workers took the day off from warehouses, restaurants and roofing jobs to wave U.S. and Mexican flags, to carry signs that read, "I am not a criminal," and to chant, "Today we march, tomorrow we vote."
