El clamor común fue: reforma de inmigración ya. Alrededor de 1,000 personas se hicieron presentes en la intersección de las calles César Chávez y Canal, justo en el corazón del barrio Magnolia, para marchar a favor de una reforma de inmigración justa e integral. En comparación a las marchas de los años recientes, la concurrencia fue notable.
