Yes, give us a day and a future without ILLEGAL ALIENS, especially those from Mexico.
Una dia sin immigrantes ilegales es una idea muy buena!
A day without immigrants?
Mmmm k.
That failed before and is only a slight inconvenience anyway.
Why not make it a month?
Hey immigrants — be sure your SIN will find you out.
Because all immigrants, regardless of where they are from, or immigration status, only speak Spanish.
The very definition of a micro-aggression.
This is an issue that has been largely ignored. Interesting to watch the Dems so fervently fighting for the invaders. See how that goes down in putting them before laws and our own people!
Us: We want to deport illegal immigrants.
Them: You want to deport immigrants!
Us: Didn’t you hear the “illegal” part?
Them: You want to deport immigrants!
It’s like the difference between a licensed radio station and a pirate that goes on air, possibly interferes with other stations, etc. It’s ILLEGAL. (In Boston one such station
that served the black community was embraced by politicians and the Boston Globe and ignored a $17k FCC fine. Finally they were thrown off the air. A low powered station, format unknown, will wind up on the frequency soon but at least it will be legally licensed unlike the lawbreakers.
EAST BOSTON (CBS) — Members of a group advocating for the rights of immigrants in the U.S. unveiled a protest banner at the entrance to the Sumner Tunnel during the Thursday morning commute.
The 40-foot banner, which was first unfurled on a pedestrian bridge above the tunnel and then carried below, was carried by about 12 members of the Cosecha Movement and reads “Un dia sin immigrantes,” or “A day without immigrants.”
Brenda Villardes, who helped organize the event, told WBZ NewsRadio 1030’s Carl Stevens that the group wanted to send the message that immigrants are vitally important to the country.
“We will resist this anti-immigrant, racist, and xenophobic rhetoric,” she said.
On their Facebook page, the group said the banner was part of a planned “week without immigrants,” meant to demonstrate the ways immigrants contribute to society.
“We are live from East Boston reminding the immigrant community that this country depends on our labour power to be able to function,” the group wrote in a Facebook Live post. “Today more than ever, we know we can’t depend on politicians, that’s why harvest this planning ‘a week without immigrants’ so that the American people wake up and understand that this country depends on us.”
Villardes said the group felt threatened by the two executive orders signed by President Donald Trump on Wednesday. The orders called for the construction of a border wall with Mexico and the cutoff of federal money to so-called sanctuary cities.
In response, Boston Mayor Marty Walsh called the orders and the president’s statements “a direct attack on Boston’s people,” 28 percent of whom he said were immigrants, and 48 percent of whom he said had at least one foreign-born parent.
Villardes said that people in the immigrant community know they are the “muscle” of the country.
“We want to bring that back, the idea that if we don’t cooperate, if we don’t go to work, if we don’t go to schools, this country will realize the importance and the value of immigrants,” she said.
The group never blocked traffic during the event.
My Espanol is not the best either, but “Una dia” is wrong.
While most words ending in “a” are feminine gender, Dia is masculine. Un dia. With an accent mark, IIRC.
“La mano” [hand] is an exception that goes the other way.
I may have quoted it wrong; article says Un dia

I am an immigrant...
I have lived in America for 45 years and not been fearful for one moment that I might be deported...
I have never felt the need to “hide-in-the-shadows” nor an urge to march for any “immigrants rights” (what are they again ???)
as an immigrant I had most of the rights and protections of American citizens...
When I was naturalized in 1975 I gain only 2 further rights: to vote and to hold a government job...
>>if we don’t go to work
You mean some of them actually work?
You are absolutely correct.
It is the same in Portuguese.
In Italian, we have ‘la mano’, but for day, ‘il giorno’, so the ending agrees with the gender in the Italian for ‘day’.
Long story short, the protesters are linguistic morons.
Again it may have said un but I typed Una. Forgive me, I speak ingles...
