The left is calling for a immigrant free day so all immigrants stay home from work to protest this government.

But when you listen to what they mean by calling this day it isn't about immigrants but illegal aliens to stay home! That to prove how much we need illegal aliens according to the left wing who is organizing this protest.

Isn't it great to have them stay home so ICE can go and pick the convicted ones up easily.

I always thought that immigrants are legal aliens and people who came through the front door and not criminals skipping the border and commit an illegal act.

All the ones where I work showed up....

Must be they care about their job more than solidarity against a falsely perceived persecution......


What a concept..

they do it every time. it's the only tool they've got - conflate illegal immigration with the legal kind

I joked with my LEGAL immigrant friends from china and italy and bulgaria about whether they were coming in to work today, and they just laughed. of course they're coming in.
