I know I'm going to get zinged for this, but if their goal was to let us know how badly we'd suffer without illegals making our lives easier, then I consider this a failure. They are not sneaking into this country for our benefit- they are doing so to improve their own lives. Yes, the vast majority of us came from elsewhere, but over the years laws have changed and the world has changed. I'm all for immigration reform, making it easier for qualified persons to become citizens, but this free-for-all we have going now is stupid and dangerous. I'm reading all these statements from business owners saying they lost money today because their illegal employees failed to show up to work today, and frankly I could give a rat's ass for them. I confess I am also a bit confused as to the true intent of the strike- is it just to showcase our dependence on illegals, or immigrants in general, legal or not?

I also wonder how many of the wealthy had to do things for themselves today?
