That is a real shame. My wife and I like to go to Busboys and Poets for Sunday Brunch after Mass. We will generally drop about $40 there when we go. If you figure us going there maybe every other week, that's over $1,000 a year of lost revenue from us alone.

Since they decided to publicize their political activity like that, they may have lost 20-30 customers per restaurant. Are they going to *gain* 20-30 customers per restaurant? Around here, that's pretty unlikely considering that virtue signalling is a competitive sport around this area.

Oh well, their loss.

something about no sound when a tree falls in the desert comes to mind. Really who gives a damn? Just get out of our country pronto and make Mexico Great Again.

We shopped for our dinner; cooked our dinner; and washed our own dishes!

Unlikely, very unlikely they closed “out of sympathy” for illegals, rather they were FORCED too close because they had no help that day.

Soon the owner will become a real busboy and will have more time to practice poetry.

Let’s organize “A Day Without Customers”. May 5th (Cinco de Mayo) would be a perfect day.

Let’s be clear — this isn’t a day without immigrants. Its a day without ILLEGAL immigrants. Any shop that closes should be targeted by ICE.

"As an immigrant myself, I had a duty to stand in solidarity with my staff {of illegals}."

As an immigrant you should have rather saw your duty to show your appreciation and loyalty to the country that allowed you to be a legal immigrant.

That's what past immigrants and refugees to America had done; even when they didn't like America barring entry and deporting others of their family and nationality, they didn't disrespect or challenge America's right to bar and deport them .

"Andy" Shallal demonstrators perfectly what type of immigrants or refugees (even if legal) America is getting too many of. Well "Andy" Americans do not need any more of your type. Like Trump says 'allow in only those who love and respect America.'

Busboys and Poets DC location is a short walk from my younger son’s home. Food’s been good, service friendly and prices city-typical. But I never wore a MAGA hat; maybe next time...

Busboys and Terrorists is a Leftist enemy operation. No conservative should ever give them money, period.

I was speaking with the framing construction supervisor of a large apartment complex being built near me.

He said his whole crew came to work yesterday, but many of the other trades didn’t show. Trade supervisors for many of them told the “strikers” to just take the rest of the week off...without pay.
