Since it worked out so well today, are we going to see a few more days?

No protesters in the streets, no signs waving around, just another quiet day in greater downtown Billings.
Offhand I would say the "Day Without ILLEGAL Immigrants" was an abject failure locally.

If the parent has entered a country illegally and forced to leave the country, of course their children regardless if born in the home country or the illegal country goes with the parents. In the USA, children are not wards of the State, they belong to their parents. They will remain in the care of their parents until they reach legal age to make their own decisions. That age varies state to state. Point being, underage children of illegal immigrants will go with / remain with their parent(s).
Exactly, we all remember Elian Gonzalez.

He belonged with is father in Cuba, and he thrived.

I can top that.

I live in Southern CA, didn't even know it was going on until I got home and watched the news. Went to a few places, didn't see anything. And yes, this was in an area with a lot of Latinos.

Saw a small demonstration near downtown LA on the news.

Lamest "protest" ever. Plus Trump sucked away all the media attention with his presser. The MSM was so consumed with trying to soothe their hurt feelings by bashing Trump all day, so any news of the protests were pushed to a perfunctory last place.

The illegals should really teach us a lesson and go back to their country of origin.

If you can get back to us on Friday with your examples of how you were inconvenienced or if you it made you feel that we can do without these people ( the illegals not the law abiding immigrants) let us know.
I didn't notice a thing. All they did was prove they're irrelevant.
