A DAY WITHOUT IMMIGRANTS PROTESTS IN THE USA

That this House notes the mass protests carried out by more than a million immigrants in the United States as part of A Day Without Immigrants; recognises that the objective of the protests was to raise awareness of the significant contribution immigrants provide to the US economy; believes that managed immigration offers benefits to both richer and poorer nations; and hopes that a consensus on immigration can be achieved.
