Last week, thousands of immigrants across the nation staged the latest protest against Donald Trump. The demonstration, called “A Day Without Immigrants,” asked foreign-born workers to refuse to work. The purpose was to show Trump supporters how vital immigrants are to the nation’s economy.
Unfortunately for those who chose to participate, the demonstration didn’t go exactly as planned. Rather than prove how necessary they are to the country, they proved how unnecessary they are in the workplace. Now they’re facing the consequences.
It seems not all employers are willing to allow their workers to skip work in order to protest a democratically-elected president. If the immigrants were trying to show how much they work, skipping out on their jobs probably wasn’t the greatest way to prove it.

LOL. Reality, what a concept. LOL
They shouldn’t have a had a job in the first place. If people would obey the law and not hire them they would have to go away
ENFORCE OUR LAWS
You have a responsibility to your employer and clients when you have a job. You were not hired to take a day off on a whim to esxpress your feelings publicly..
Sucks when you have no country and no rights.
Actually they want to make this Mexico. Why else would you wave a Mexican flag while protesting? They all need deported and I do not care what it takes for costs.
Fire them all, throw them out of our country.
Damn just when they thought they were in charge.
Asked by a reporter why the cause was important, Brenda Botello, who quit on Friday because she was afraid of being fired, said: “Because we are Mexicans… We need to find another job.”
Brenda, if you were the kind of immigrant that is welcomed here, by everyone and not just those wanting to use you for your vote, you’d say that you are an American of Mexican heritage. And you are wrong… you don’t need to find another job, you need to find another country.
Nobody gets sanctuary from the law!
