NEW YORK - Immigrants say President Donald Trump's administration has become almost everything they feared, but while they rally across the United States on May Day, their focus is less on huge turnout Tuesday than on the first Tuesday in November.

Marches and other demonstrations for labor and immigrant rights were planned from Florida to New York to California on International Workers' Day and come amid similar actions worldwide.

"The Trump administration has made very clear that they've declared war on the immigrant community on all levels," said Javier Valdes, co-executive director of the advocacy group Make the Road New York.

Immigrant rights groups have joined in May Day activities for more than a decade, initially to push back against harsh legislative proposals and later to clamor for reform and legal status for immigrants in the country illegally who were brought to the U.S. as children or overstayed their visas.

Nothing will motivate US voters like the pictures of dirty, Soros-funded gang members climbing our southern walls and waving Honduran flags.

Yes, great optics. Keep it up, lefties.

Yes, we need to identify, who has declared war on whom!

I do not know anyone who wants to harm Latin Americans. That does not mean that we want to replace rooted Americans with people who do not respect our heritage or sovereignty.

The media is engaged in deliberate Misdirection. It increasingly borders on genocidal treason.

There are many Republicans I despise, but it’s obvious that Trump’s support base MUST do everything possible to get themselves and others to the polls in November or the Rats will win both houses of Congress. And if that happens Trump and his MAGA agenda will be history.
