A day without...

[KG1]

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

How bout they protest the Mexican government and call for "A day without corruption and cartel violence" to see how that would feel? Naw...let's just ***** and moan about America some more.

Apparently the folks at my work didn't get the message. The dozen or so Hispanic people that work on my line were all there. Of course they like everyone else would be replaced if they called in for such nonsense.

I have been wondering this too. If Mexico is so great, why are so many of it's people leaving for the country to their north? There are a lot of illegals from South and Central America, so the same argument follows.

There was a movie several years ago titles "A Day Without Mexicans". The usual privileged white folk could not feed or clothe themselves, etc, etc.

I've never been on strike. But from what I've seen in history, they're expecting a lot out of one day.

One of the guys who is an immigrant in the shipping yard in East Chicago where I load every morning brought up this whole immigration deal and says. "We have 11 immigrants working here" and none of them are all to happy about the Trump administration situation. They know I supported Trump in this election and they try to bait me into arguing with them.

I pointed out the fact that if they all immigrated the legal way then they should'nt have anything to worry about. To my knowledge I have'nt seen anyone attempting to deport or prevent law abiding LEGAL immigrants from participation in everything that America has to offer because this isn't about LEGAL immigration and I leave it at that.

McDonald's restaurants across the US are shutting down for a 'Day Without Immigrants' protest


Oh no. What will we do? If only there were other places to go. If only there were some way to prepare food at home.

And my bet is, most of the McDonalds are on the coasts, or Chicago.
But that's just a guess.

Oh my!! I fear I missed my opportunity to protest on this immigrant issue. My forefather immigrated to this land in 1640 (yes 377 years ago), I should have been notified in advance of this event! Heads should roll over this oversight!

Every McD's I drove by was swamped.

According to the news I'm seeing, it's the end of the world and the apocalypse is just around the corner.

The national "news" is a force multiplier for nonsense like this stuff.

No effect here... if you guys weren't talking about it, I wouldn't have realized how devastating this was.
