A May Day March into downtown Chicago was held by immigrants on Monday to demand a piece of the American dream.
Among the demands is finding permanent housing for migrants who have taken shelter in public facilities after being bused to Chicago.
"We demand Biden, the administration of Biden, he listen to the people," said Mauro Navarro of the Alliance for Central American People. "He make reforms, immigration reform for people who stay here a long time."Despite a cold blustery rain, about 40 people gathered at Union Park on Chicago's West Side around noon, then marched into the Loop and Federal Plaza.
