I want input from every US citizen who was able to witness the day without immigrants, perhaps even people who took part in the "march".

For me, I noticed the following:

Shorter line at the gas station in themorning
Less traffic before work
Less traffic after work

I am thinking we need a month without immigrants. It was the quietest, most laid back day I have had for a while. Other than a bunch of 12 year old's waving flags of non-US origin at a middle school, it was great.

Good job guys, you really got your point across. 7.5 to 20 million illegals in the US, and the best you could muster up nation-wide is 1.1 million? Not the show of force you were looking for, I'm sure.

the only thing I noticed here in the ATL was less traffic going to and from work.  This was caused as much by the fact that all state workers who work downtown were asked to telework (work from home) if possible.

LMFAO, if that's true, +1 karma for someone actually doing something, instead of providing mere lip service.

First off I think the only immigrants that were pulling this shit were the fucking Latinos. I didn't see any Irish taking the day off. Nor did I see any other immigrants besides jose and josb taking the day off. Hell, if they really want to prove a point I think they should all boycot the US and take their asses back home. That way they don't have to pay US taxes and deal with the US anymore. The only thing that it would affect is Wal-Mart, and fuck Wal-Mart anyway. So all you immgrants, do us all a favor and go home. Don't do this one day shit, really show us you mean business and go all the way.  All the way back across the border!

Totally true. We carved out from our parent company yesterday. We have alot of contractors building in here and along with the change over came a green card sweep. It was pretty crazy in here yesterday.

Plenty of Russians in san francisco (I am half-russian) that shouldn't be here, not to mention chinese, and south americans. It's not just mexicans, they just happen to be the most vocal. And don't forget the middle easterners who run across the border, northern and southern.

+1 for the jose and josb, had to read it twice, but that was kinda funny.

I think America should have a "Don't pay the illegal immigrants" week.  Be it the one doing your lawn, home, or picking fruit.  What legal recourse would they have. 

Maybe this would send them the messeage to STFU and be happy their not deported already for breaking our laws and scabbing off the US economy. 

BTW I will not eat anyplace that closed for the Pro Illegal Immigrants March.

It was really a day without "Illegal Immigrants".  I work at a pub and the guys from Brazil I work with who by the way have their green cards were very upset by the whole thing.

Yup, loved the drive home yesterday.  We need more of these days.

I'm an immigrant, but came here legally.  But as far as I'm concerned, if you came here illegally, you should have no rights or benefits.  Plain and simple.  Go through the proper immigration channels.  If you came here legally, welcome aboard...

-1 for your lack of understanding. Your parents are legal, this has nothing to do with you then. You seem to be missing the point.

So true.  English first.  But tell me about it.  I'm of Asian decent, and can read some Chinese/Japanese/Korean/Vietnamese characters, but damn if I hate all these non-English storefront signage. 

I'm also against bilingual education.  I consider bilingual education a detriment for those students who already know english.  Why should the english speaking students have to slow their education down to wait for a non-english translation.  Just teach the subject.  This is in part why I enroll my son in Private School.  I don't have to worry about my son being dumbed down by language barriers. 

When I first immigrated here, my parents enrolled me in a special english learning class.  This was only for one year.  From then on, I took regular english classes.   Come high school and college, I was always in the top 10% for English courses, although surrounded by caucasians.

Have a Nice day
The protests' ultimate goal was amnesty for all illegal immigrants.  They were hoping to hurt everyday operations in the US by not doing the shit jobs--that should be filled by poor American citizens, anyway--to the point where we'd say "OK, OK.  Even though you didn't follow the immigration laws, you can have rights as an American Citizen."

Not going to happen.

True, most of our ancestors were immigrants.  Legal immigrants.

From the LA Times:

1. 40% of all workers in L.A. County (L.A. County has 10 million
people) are working for cash and not paying taxes. This was because they are predominantly illegal immigrants, working without a green card.

2. 95% of warrants for murder in Los Angeles are for illegal aliens.

3. 75% of people on the most wanted list in Los Angeles are illegal aliens.

4. Over 2/3's of all births in Los Angeles County are to illegal
alien Mexicans on Medi-Cal whose births were paid for by taxpayers.

5. Nearly 25% of all inmates in Ca lifornia detention centers are Mexican nationals here illegally.

6. Over 300,000 illegal aliens in Los Angeles County are living in garages.

7. The FBI reports half of all gang members in Los Angeles are most likely illegal aliens from south of the border.

8. Nearly 60% of all occupants of HUD properties are illegal.

9. 21 radio stations in L.A. are Spanish speaking.

10. In L.A.County 5.1 million people speak English. 3.9 million speak Spanish (10.2 million people in L.A.County).

The irish did take the day off in new york.

i agree, send them home, lock up the borders, anyone who came here illegaly is spitting in the face of those who came here legally. its controlling our economy (lower wages means less profit for them so that those who do pay taxes are fucked) they are undocumented,
