		</div><p>A Donald Trump pinata has been paraded around Los Angeles as marchers took to the streets on May Day.</p>
<p>The demonstrators were calling for improved rights for workers and immigrants and protesting against what they see as hateful presidential campaign rhetoric.</p>
<p>It was one of several events in cities across the US calling for higher wages for workers, an end to deportations and support for a government plan to give work permits to immigrants in the country illegally whose children are American citizens.</p>
<p>Norberto Guiterrez, a 46-year-old immigrant from Mexico who joined families, union members and students who marched through the city, said: &#8220;We want them to hear our voices, to know that we are here and that we want a better life, with jobs.&#8221;</p>
<p>Demonstrators repeatedly called out Mr Trump for his remarks about immigrants, workers and women. The leading Republican presidential contender has called for a wall on the border with Mexico and criticised Democratic hopeful Hillary Clinton for playing the &#8220;woman card&#8221;.</p>
<p>&#8220;In addition to fighting for workers&#8217; rights, we are fighting for our dignity this time around, our self-respect,&#8221; said Jorge-Mario Cabrera, a spokesman for the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles.</p>
<p>&#8220;We can certainly encourage folks to look at what they&#8217;re watching, what they&#8217;re hearing and have them represent themselves and their families &#8211; whether they can vote or not &#8211; and say, &#8216;We are not the rapists. We are not the criminals you are talking about. And we are quite good for this country.'&#8221;</p>
<p>In the United States, the May 1 marches have become a rallying point for immigrants and their supporters since massive demonstrations in 2006 against a proposed immigration enforcement bill.</p>
<p>Marchers along San Francisco&#8217;s Fisherman&#8217;s Wharf rallied in support of immigrant and workers&#8217; rights and to demand justice for several men fatally shot by city police.</p>
<p>About 300 people, including members of the International Longshore and Warehouse Union, held signs that read &#8220;Long Live May Day&#8221; and &#8220;Stop Police Terror,&#8221; and chanted &#8220;No Justice No Peace! No Racist Police!&#8221;.</p>
<p>Tomas Kennedy, organiser of a rally in Miami, said: &#8220;The Trump effect has taken over the media and silenced our voices.</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s time to stand up against the current threat to democracy, freedom, human rights, equality, and the welfare of our country and all our people.&#8221;</p>
