May Day II: what happened?

I was so looking forward to the second "new" May Day, the day where those who have violated our nation's sovereignty brandish their violation for all to see. But for some reason, this year the celebration isn't as large as last year's.

Demonstrators marched in cities across the United States on Tuesday to demand rights for illegal immigrants, but the demonstrations were much smaller than last year's massive rallies, which were hailed as the start of a new American civil rights movement.

...

In Los Angeles, where an estimated 500,000 protesters poured into the streets last year for boisterous pro-immigrant rallies, about 10,000 people converged on City Hall for a noon protest.

What's the deal? Aren't these people proud of their illegal status?

And, just to be sure, they are indeed illegal. Here is the applicable law: United States Code, Title 8, Chapter 12, Subchapter II, Part VII, Section 1325.

Sec. 1325. - Improper entry by alien
(a) Improper time or place; avoidance of examination or inspection; misrepresentation and concealment of facts
Any alien who (1) enters or attempts to enter the United States at any time or place other than as designated by immigration officers, or (2) eludes examination or inspection by immigration officers, or (3) attempts to enter or obtains entry to the United State by a willfully false or misleading representation or the willful concealment of a material fact, shall, for the first commission of any such offense, be fined under title 18 or imprisoned not more than 6 months, or both, and, for subsequent commission of any such offense, be fined under title 18, or imprisoned not more than 2 years, or both.

Seems pretty clear to me.
