In 2006, millions of people protested over a proposed change to U.S. immigration policy. It began in response to proposed legislation known as H.R. 4437, which would raise penalties for illegal immigration and classify undocumented immigrants and anyone who helped them enter or remain in the US as felons. As part of the wider immigration debate, most of the protests not only sought a rejection of this bill, but also a comprehensive reform of the country’s immigration laws.
Hispanic media supported the protests and this cover was part of the campaign. Headline says a day without immigrants and it shows recently pledged citizens fading away in a big white emptiness, disappearing. This cover was also the landing page of all the web sites of the Impremedia news corporation around the USA.
