		By backing the May 1 work stoppage and consumer boycott, the Somos America coalition, along with immigrant rights groups in other cities, hope to capitalize on the momentum of earlier demonstrations aimed at pressing Congress to pass legislation that would legalize millions of undocumented immigrants in the United States and create a viable guest-worker program.
