NEWARK -- Along parts of Ferry Street on Thursday, doors remained shuttered, chairs were stacked and newspapers left uncollected on doorsteps at restaurants and businesses.
Some had a message for passers-by: They were closed to support "A Day Without Immigrants," a national boycott meant to highlight the impact immigrants have on the economy.
Storefronts posted signs in English, Spanish and Portuguese that read "Nos unimos a un dia sin immigrantes, CLOSED!" or "We are joining the day without immigrants, CLOSED!"

Yes that is the liberal view. The liberal view is that illegal aliens should be treated the same under the law as legal immigrants are.

Sounds like labor union tactics. If he was telling the truth.

The traffic was very reasonable. What a nice change. Otherwise no impact. Can we have no immigrant day every day???

Immigrants went to work. They aren’t worried about being deported.
Illegal aliens stayed home. And now their employers know who they are.

You can’t tell anything from a day.
Let’s make it a year.
Don’t call us, we’ll call you.

Sen. Robert Menendez (D-NJ) tweeted that Senators couldn't get coffee because one of the Capitol Hill restaurants was closed. "Today, Capitol Hill staffers got a real dosage of what it is not to have immigrants serving them," Menendez said in a Twitter video.LOL! Hell's Bells! So sorry to see Menendez "inconvenienced".

They should really teach us a lesson and return back where they came from. That’ll show us!

Does he mean that there are illegals working in the US Capitol?
To: FrankR
Here is the real truth of the matter, these people were threatened with retaliation if they showed up for work. I really hope AG Sessions is staffing up to take care of these matters.

They had to dig deep to find this example of “harm” caused by the illegal walkout.
