Rep. Nancy Pelosi
cheerfully led Spanish-language chants of “Si se puede” — or “Yes we
can” — at a rally Tuesday for amnesty and immigration, but turnout for
the event at the National Mall was far below the organizers’ predictions
of 100,000 attendees.
The barriers at the event were set to accommodate 35,000 people, but less than half the area was occupied. Loudspeakers and a large display screen at the rear of the area were almost devoid of listeners or viewers.
The rally was held on public land during a widely hyped government
shutdown that has seen the Obama administration rigidly shut
tourists, property owners and even World War II veterans out
of federally controlled areas. (Related: Obama OKs illegals’ march on Mall, still blocks Americans)
