Establishment media widely reported Thursday’s “Day Without Immigrants” protest against President Trump’s enforcement of immigration laws, but how much of an impact did the boycott actually have?
“It was a big deal for the reporters, who are paid to cover this sort of thing,” said Ira Mehlman, spokesman for the Washington, D.C.-based advocacy group FAIR, the Federation for American Immigration Reform.
“I don’t think the rest of the American public really noticed all that much,” he told WND.

Better yet, a month.
Okay, a year.
Something happened?
Nobody missed them. They are delusional.
Nope. The construction crews in my neighborhood were hard at work and their taco truck showed up on time. They have good jobs and appreciate keeping them.
Not around here, in fact I went to Taco Bell that day for lunch with a friend...business as usual...did they think it was some holiday or something???
I have not watched very fake news yet so I cannot comment.
Did they go home or something?
Can I ask a stupid question??
How is it, that the left, somehow takes a presidential executive order to limit travel from certain terror prone countries, and decide that this president is somehow “anti-immigrant”, and opposes travel by all immigrants to America????
Does the left simply not have the reasoning ability, to discern the difference between banning certain terror prone groups and others?????
And what’s with the left and that crazy women’s march where Madonna wants to blow up the White House??? Trump said a bad word in a vulgar context, and the left had an absolute meltdown to the effect that the president hates women. Again, what the heck type of reasoning ability do they have to leap to such conclusions???
Speaking of women, Trump has a good record of employing and promoting women in his organizations, including into managment positions. But nobody ever talks about that, because the left decided he’s anti-woman. Once the left makes up their minds, you apparently can’t introduce facts which refute their narrative.
My daughter says it was a big deal in Austin Texas.
Not here . . . Wouldnt have a clue if the MSM hadn’t harped on it
So far, 2017s Flop of the Year
But glad to see several got fired for going AWOL
How about a year or so w/o them?
Oh, that happened already? Sorry, I missed seeing it.
I don’t think they do. They go by feelings and those feelings can be very wrong and stupid. They do not have any common sense. Just my $.02.
Well, then we can only hope that they do it more often. Anything that closes down or causes Austin problems is a plus, and something to be encouraged.
I’d like to see an ELECTION DAY without ILLEGAL immigrants.
Nope! I asked husband if any known outspoken immigrant workmates didn’t show for work...he said..ZILCH! That protest was a BIGLY bust! I think Calimexico were the only one...don’t know about Las Vegas hotels since they employ a lot of Hispanic immigrants!
Only noticed it in all the usual commie- islamonazi news media. Nothing happened in the real world. But it’s a great idea. Instead of a day without Islamic invaders and infiltrators bent on destroying us from within - think Troy- let’s make it a lifetime without them here. Deport and repatriate Now! While we still can
Lots of the protesters (illegals too)lost their jobs.
Oh the irony!
“How is it, that the left, somehow takes a presidential executive order to limit travel from certain terror prone countries, and decide that this president is somehow “anti-immigrant”, and opposes travel by all immigrants to America????”
Because once you control the words you control dialogue. Long ago the left began calling the US invasion of our southern border “emigration,” and the rest of us seemed to have now accepted that. If Americans call’s it for what it is; an invasion of America - that little problem with “dialogue” is solved.
