A man urges passing truckers to stage a five-day general strike (huelga) as part of the "Day Without an Immigrant" protest beginning Monday, during a demonstration at the Port of Los Angeles, Friday, April 28, 2006. Some stores, restaurants and work sites will close, because workers don't show up or due to customers staying away as part of the economic boycott. And if hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants and their supporters do participate, rallies at government buildings statewide could swell.
