Honestly I think in a weird way the whole day sort of enforced a stereotype. You just know tons of people in this country were going "so a bunch of illegals skipped work...what else is new?". The only businesses that suffered were businesses that rely heavily on illegal labor anyway, like Tyson Chicken. Oh no! I may not get my poultry in a timely fashion! Didn't they get sued or some shit like a year ago for having tons of undocumented workers? Fuck Tyson Chicken. There...I said it.

As for the whole "everyone here is an immigrant and should leave" stuff...that's like comparing apples to vibrators. While it's true many of our ANCESTORS immigrated here, by and large the citizens of this country are generations deep. They've established themselves here. I didn't just show up here a year ago and expect (or rather demand) a handout. While it's stupid to pledge loyalty to a country by virtue of the fact that you were born there (that is to say that the geographic location of your birth shouldn't have much to do with where your loyalties lie), it's equally stupid to break the laws of a country to gain admission and then whine about how you're being treated. The U.S. lets in something like 4 million LEGAL immigrants annually. Really? Do we need another 4 million people per year here in addition to the demon spawn our own population is birthing? I'm not saying we shouldn't be giving people a chance, but shit...we can't even get our own act together. We don't need to be taking on the rest of the world's problems as well. I saw a picture of a protester the other day carrying a sign that said something like "live free or die". You know what...you're right. You have the inalienable right to live free...in your own country. If you choose to stay here and something bad happens...well...no one's going to ask a lot of questions.

One more thing...these shirt that these idiots wear. The ones that say "I'm a felon". Why can't cops just arrest every single person wearing those shirts? I mean really...it's a statement against penal interest and can be used against them in court. Chances are you'd ACTUALLY catch a lot of felons that way.
