    Seems we had a day without immigrants showing up for work. Who knew? Did anyone participate or notice? Did the walkout affect you?Here in Colorado I saw where some lunch workers walked off the job but were back in time to serve the kiddies lunch. I wonder if Meryl Streep and the Hollyweird masses went to work.
    Pretty light weight. http://www.wnd.com/2017/02/did-anyone-notice-anti-trump-day-without-immigrants/

    I had lunch in a Mexican joint on Thursday, they didn't seem to care and all their employees were there. This was a big nothing. I live among thousands of Mexicans and completely forgot they were supposed to boycott because they all went out and behaved as usual.

    You know its funny because I did notice it when they did it a few years ago when millions flooded the big cities I went to the drycleaners and they were not accepting orders.

    And they never did again from us.

    But this time, nothing.

    Same here, Poncho's, all the regulars were there and my chicken taco's hard shell were just as yummy as any other one of my visits!

    No one who wanted to keep their jobs participated.

    You want to see a day without an immigrant? Go to southern California on Cinco de Mayo and the usually clogged highways are empty. Oddly enough, here in the El Paso/Las Cruces area no one gives a crap about Cinco de Mayo......and they don't want their country back. It seems celebrating Mexico's culture and wishing it was ours is a California thing. Man, I'm glad I'm out of that stink hole.

    Being in construction I noticed, but unlike Americans they are willing to work the weekend to make up for the time missed.
