Not only are there very few people, you don’t see any Mexican flags or crowds of illegals like the march in 2006 which drew over 100,000 people.

Thousands of people marched through downtown on Palm Sunday calling for immigration reform among other things.
“You know, there’s times when you have to march to get your point across. This is one of those times,” said Roger Rocha, Jr., LULAC National President. “You’ve got people from all over the state of Texas, Oklahoma and as far away as Washington, D.C. and New York.”
The event wasn’t supposed to be political but the overtones were obvious.
“I don’t believe in borders of any kind. Not physical borders not any type of borders,” said a 28-year-old woman from Mexico who is a DACA recipient. She was undocumented when her parents brought her here as a child and has “deferred action” from deportation.
“I was actually expecting a lot more people but you know with all of this craziness going on. With raids going on I think people are afraid. I really think people were afraid to be here today,” added the DACA recipient.
Organizers had hoped to have 100,000 people show up. Dallas Police said 3,200 marched.
