There was a film awhile back whose title I cannot recall (alas, I did not see it) - where all the latinos in Los Angeles disappeared overnight, and havoc ensued.
With little offense meant to our brethren in Minnesota, Kansas City, Helena, and Bismark ... bringing L.A. and NY alone to their knees would cripple the economic picture of the entire nation. I'm really glad to hear that there are many places where the home-grown underclass must do the undesireable jobs ... but in most places where substantial financial activity takes place, it's the latino immigrants who handle all the dirty work.
A few days out of the month with Los Angeles, New York, Phoenix, Atlanta, Houston, Miami, and D.C. brought to a standstill will get the message loud and clear to the businesses who hold the strings of the legislators for the entire nation. Minnesota need not participate ... but their solidarity would be appreciated.
