Immigration March 2
移民デモ 2
It happened in Downtown LA where I went to buy some stuff.

There were a lot of people who marched against the law for immigration, and I was involved in it. Therefore I marched little bit.
As you can see in photos, it was fullfilled with humans all over the road, subway that is usually vacant was also fullfilled as if it were the subway in morning rush hour in Japan. It was really stuffed so much.
When I saw a news on TV after I came home, it said there were about 500,000 people there. In my feeling, more than 90% were Mexican but there were some people from other nations.

I thought almost all the people who stay in USA illegally are Mexican because Mexico border upon USA's border and the bad social situation in Mexico, however, there were some people from other than Mexico. Where on earth are these people come from? Are they from Canadian border or from the sea by ship?

Today was the day that I was surprised at the fact that such many Mexican live in Los Angeles!!

Immigration March 3

今日買出しに行ったダウンタウンでの出来事。

移民取締法に対するデモ行進をやっていて、それに巻き込まれたという感じで、ちょっとだけデモ行進してきました。
道路は写真のように隙間なく埋まってるし、普段はがらがらに空いている地下鉄も日本の朝の通勤電車のごとく、ギュウギュウ詰めだし、大変でした。
ニュースを見たら、なんと50万人もの人がその場にいたらしい・・・。自分が見た感じでは9割以上メキシコ人だったが、中には他の国籍の人も混じってました。

アメリカに国境が接している+国政から考えて、不法滞在してる人の大半がメキシコ人だと思っていたけど、メキシコ以外の国からも不法入国してるらしい。しかし一体どこから来るのだろうか?カナダ側国境?それとも船?

しかし、ロサンゼルスにはこんなにも多くのメキシコ人が住んでいた!!という事実に改めて驚いた1日でした。
