A day without...

[HoughMade]

So I guess today is something called "A Day Without Immigrants" where immigrants are supposed to strike to show us what life would be like without them.

On March 8th, they are organizing "A Day Without a Woman" for the same purpose.

I've had a few thoughts about this:

#1 It's never been my goal to allow my employer an opportunity to see that they can get along without me.

#2 I expect March 8th to be a quiet and restful day.

#3 I wonder what "A Day Without Men who are Citizens" would look like...I've never seen "The Purge".

How long is this national temper tantrum expected to last?

Until the millenials all get jobs...it'll be a while.

How long is this national temper tantrum expected to last?

Until a Democrat is in the White House again. And the more people protest, stomp their feet, physically attack their political opponents, and vilify anyone not subscribing to their belief system that day gets further and further away.

I think the plan is to accuse Trump of everything under the sun in the hopes that something sticks, or at the very least, he spends so much time defending his administration that he doesn't have time to actually accomplish anything.

The issue isn't immigrants - hell, just about everybody's family were immigrants at some point.

The issue isn't with Ellis Island types who did it "right" when they came to the US - the issue is with illegal/undocumented/unauthorized/not-suppose-to-be-here immigrants who don't have citizenship, aren't Permanent Residents, or don't hold visas.

Progressives know this, yet continue to use wholly-inclusive language to make their opposition seem more extreme on the issue than they actually are.

This is absolutely being done. Accuse Trump of opposing immigration and leave out the part where he is clear in his support for legal​ immigration.

I work for a company that employs about 40-50% Hispanics, mostly temps, and so far it has meant that I can get uninterrupted bathroom time. I could get used to it.

 

[indiucky]

The left whines....We female dog and moan....Big difference ATM....

Something tells me that if I hit a Greek family restaurant for lunch, they'll be fully staffed.

Now I want a gyro plate, spanakopita, and hummus.

What's going to happen when it turns out absolutely no one missed them?

 

[HoughMade]

I must have missed the protest against the Mexican government for failing to make the country a place people wanted to live.

The same thing that happens after a government shutdown: they will return, determined to believe that everyone missed them and suffered in some way, dismissing any other possibility even as they sweep up the remnants of what appear to have been great festivities and celebration which occurred during their brief absence.

I swear I just finished a gyro plate with dolmades and rice. though mine was from a Syrian immigrant.
