this is Modesto?

The Day Without Immigrants reached Modesto, of all places (the Central Valley isn't what you'd call a hotbed of political action of any sort, and certainly not political action that challenges prevailing attitudes or policies). Indymedia had a story with the surprising claim that 10,000 people marched down and back up Crows Landing Road in south Modesto. But the story linked to the Modesto Bee site, which concurred, with video.

Before I read that, I was gonna write a post about the unexplored problem of illegal emigration. Another time, perhaps.
