Notes

According to the Dallas Police Department, at least 100,000 people marched in the most well-attended civil movement in the history of Dallas. The protesters demanded the legalization of Hispanic undocumented immigrants, estimated to be about twelve million in the United States.

The so-called "mega march" was carried out to demand immigrant amnesty as members of the U.S. Congress debated immigration reform.

Según el Departamento de Policía de Dallas, al menos 100.000 personas marcharon en el movimiento civil más concurrido de la historia de Dallas. Los manifestantes exigían la legalización de los inmigrantes indocumentados hispanos, que se calcula que son unos doce millones en Estados Unidos.

La llamada "megamarcha" se llevó a cabo para exigir la amnistía de los inmigrantes mientras los miembros del Congreso estadounidense debatían la reforma migratoria.
