Huge Rallies Draw Immigrants' Supporters in L.A.

The ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach were crippled after most of the truck drivers who haul cargo skipped work.

City officials estimated that 250,000 demonstrators marched to City Hall Monday morning, while another large crowd took over Wilshire Blvd.
