Low turnout for US immigration rallies

Many immigrants hoped that rallies across the US would give new life to a movement struggling to win a way for 12 million people in America's shadows to eventually become citizens.

Instead, turnout was low compared to the throngs that filled the nation's streets a year earlier, leaving uncertainty about the impact and direction of the movement in shaping an immigration system that is considered broken by both conservative anti-illegal immigration groups and advocates for amnesty.
