Immigration demonstrations in Santa Rosa, CA, protesting HR4437. They had organized "A Day Without Immigrants" ("Un Dia Sin Inmigrantes") and encouraged local businesses reliant on immigrant labor to close for the day May 1, 2006, to show the importance of immigrant labor in California.
This clip interviews employees at a car wash and a woman at the protests about what message they were hoping to send to proponents of the bill - mainly that immigrants are needed and an asset to their communities.
