Loyalty Day is observed on May 1 in the United States. It is a day set aside for the reaffirmation of loyalty to the United States and for the recognition of the heritage of American freedom.

Loyalty Day is celebrated with parades and ceremonies in communities across the United States, although many people in the United States remain unaware of it. Although a legal holiday, it is not a federal holiday.

Then I found this in wikipedia.com:
International Workers' Day (a name used interchangeably with May Day) is a celebration of the social and economic achievements of the international labour movement. May Day commonly sees organized street demonstrations by hundreds of thousands of working people and their labour unions throughout Europe and most of the rest of the world — though, as noted below, in neither the United States nor Canada. More-radical groups such as communists and anarchists are also given to widespread street protest on this day as well.

And also:
The United States has its own Labor Day holiday, celebrated on the first Monday in September instead of on May Day. However, in 2006, May 1st was chosen by immigrant groups in the United States as the day for the Great American Boycott, a general strike of immigrant workers and supporters to protest H.R. 4437.

Personally for as many protestors that there are, why y don't they protest in their country if they're not US citizens.

I think they fail to recognize that the problem originated in their country that they ran from. They should be more appreciative and respectful to the US for what they have already received.

I think it would be more honorable to become a citizen legally and not cheating out others.
They need to be patient and go through the process legally to become a US citizen.
It's as if to make the statement,

"You want to be rich.....go rob a bank".
That is morally wrong and against the law........

Are they desparate or dishonest?

Having the protest on May 1st is very ironic. It was either done as a protest to the celebration of the loyalty of Americans or it was done to promote a socialist agenda. I think the protesters are going to end up shooting themselves in the foot (figuratively). They distance themselves from the rest of America, which discourages Americans from giving them what they want.

May Day is typically a Communist state celebration. It expresses loyalty to the Communist Party, which will tolerate loyalty to no one or anything else except itself.

a million out of each 4 Christians interior the international are Catholic. however the Catholic Church has replaced by the years, basically like the numbers have. some Catholic church homes are previous trend, and a few are extra cutting-area and lenient. it incredibly is why maximum persons brake off into Protestant church homes. As for the "no faith" human beings, some people who believe in God choose for to no longer call it a "faith". have you ever heard the asserting "Jesus is my savior. no longer my faith." It rather plenty means worship God the way the bible says to, no longer the way guy-made religious communities inform you to. As for the atheist, extra somewhat everyone seems to be growing to be to be too sensible, and thinking technology is the significant to each little thing.

I think the demonstrators are doing more harm than good.
