Mark Ruffalo pledges support for illegal immigrants
pledging not to work on Valentine’s Day

Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ilhan Omar also pledged support for the protest

Actor Mark Ruffalo posted on Saturday his support for an illegal immigration protest set to take place on Valentine’s Day.

"I stand with the thousands of immigrants pledging not to work, go to school, or shop on #ValentinesDay," Ruffalo wrote on his Twitter account. "Our nation depends on undocumented immigrants every single day. We need immigration reform w/ a path to citizenship now!"

The actor also posted a link to a Facebook group called "Un Día Sin Inmigrantes (Day without immigrants)" that’s organizing the protest.

The movement was started by a 23-year-old TikTok user named Carlos Eduardo Espina who boasts over 2.4 million followers on TikTok and over 88,000 subscribers to his YouTube channel. He created the Facebook group on Jan. 31 and has since gained 29,000 users as well as support from some progressive lawmakers.

Honestly, it looks quite suspicious  from the very beginning. A young guy that might not have enough friends and contacts as to spread the word about his idea, suddenly becomes a social media star in less than a month. Even Democrats support him in no time. Plus the number of followers and subscribers don't even match. I am not saying there are no exceptions to the rule but this movement does not seem to have been run by a newbie but some agency or institution.

Plus who says there is no path to citizenship!?

Their actual problem is they do not want to wait till they legally qualify for becoming actual residents and later even some US citizens.
