Does anyone have all the numbers of demonstrators?
I am hearing 60 or 70 cities, I am hearing 100K here, and 200K there...But seems like the MSM does not want us to know the overall number?

What if the total is around 3 or 4 million Americans came out today? Will the MSM media report that millions of Americans demonstrated in support of undocumented immigrants? What if the numbers add up closer to 5 million, will we ever know?

1. "Several hundred" in Albuquerque
and most are high school kids with a few college kids on a lark. There doesn't seem to be a large number of working folks per the pics on the news.

I just wish these poor kids would catch a clue and focus on what the problem really is: a ridiculously low minimum wage allowing scumbag employers to exploit immigrants, natives, and illegal aliens alike.

3. Old Vietnam protest practice
Whatever the police report; double it. Whatever the media reports, add 30%.
