-In this case, there's just not much anti-immigrant fervor in NYC, at -any level of society.
This is definitely part of it. And to be fair, NYC had a pretty decent demo turnout for the Immigrant Freedom Ride rally a couple of years ago, not on the scale of LA but around 100,000 folks gathered in Flushing Queens for the event: http://www.akolad.com/news/immigration/FreedomRide03.htm http://la.indymedia.org/news/2003/10/87203_comment.php
It didn't get great national press because the issue was as hot in the news, but was still impressive.
