Austin among U.S. cities targeted for 'Day Without Immigrants' protest | Jobs | Dallas NewsPHILADELPHIA -- Organizers in cities across the U.S. are telling immigrants to miss class, miss work and not shop on Thursday as a way to show the country how important they are to America's economy and way of life.
"A Day Without Immigrants" actions are planned in cities including Philadelphia, Washington, Boston and Austin, Texas.
The protest comes in response to President Donald Trump and his 1-month-old administration. The Republican president has pledged to increase deportation of immigrants living in the country illegally, build a wall along the Mexican border, and ban people from certain majority-Muslim countries from coming into the U.S. He also has blamed high unemployment on immigration.
Employers and institutions in some cities were already expressing solidarity Wednesday with immigrant workers. Washington restaurateur John Andrade said he would close his businesses Thursday, and David Suro, owner of Tequilas Restaurant in Philadelphia and a Mexican immigrant, said he also planned to participate.
The Davis Museum at Wellesley College in Massachusetts said it would remove or shroud all artwork created or given by immigrants to the museum through Feb. 21.
Organizers in Philadelphia said they expect hundreds of workers and families to participate.
The audacity of an illegal immigrant to self-righteously claim they have a right to remain here and enjoy all of the benefits of being an American, without actually being an American, is mind blowing. Of course, these illegals are getting a lot of smoke blown up their asses by the leftist prog scum.

The Spanish immigrants I have known from South America don't like blacks.

Actually most of them are just criminals and racist bigots, which is why Democrats love them so much.

This exploitation of their countrymen made the bracero issue an overriding concern to the Mexican Americans of South Texas on humanitarian grounds: they called the bracero program “rent a slave”. And it was overriding on economic grounds as well: in the opiniuon of most Mexican-American leaders, it was the willingness of these Mexicans to work the same jobs they were working, and accept such low wages, that kept their own wages low. The unrestricted flow of migrant workers was held to be the principal reason why the rise of Mexican-Americans to the middle class had been so much slower than that of the Irish and other immigrant groups. If there was a single issue most important to Mexican-Americans in the 1950's, it was this issue.

They wanted the government to require working conditions and wages in the bracero contracts to equal those prevailing in the U.S. And to cut off the flow of illegal immigrants, both by increasing appropriations to the United States Immigration Service and by increasing criminal penalties for growers who knowingly hire illegal aliens.
