a day without who?

I understand that if ten million people in America took a day off of work on the same day, it would have an effect on the economy and more than likely the service industry, BUT that would happen if any group of people took the day off. If HRC sent me an e-mail saying "Next Monday we are asking that all gays, lesbians, bisexuals, and transgendered people stay home from work to protest the Marriage Amendment", and if the GLBT community actually stayed home in large numbers and rallied in the streets, OF COURSE there would be an impact on daily life in America. Of course all those people make a huge difference in this country, of course if they all took a day off it would be an inconvenience for other people. But if all of these people were to quit their jobs, not just skip a day, those jobs would soon be filled with other people who were willing to not take a day off. I believe that this is why there were not "tens of millions" of people taking the day off yesterday, like some groups had predicted there would be. Because it was ridiculous. You're not making a point by skipping work to protest, you're just inconveniencing your employer and fellow workers for a day.

Besides, who stayed home from work yesterday? Not just undocumented immigrants, but also legal citizens in this country. How is that supposed to show us the impact that illegal immigrants have in this country? If you're trying to show the impact of illegal citizens in this country, don't show us what would happen if ALL Mexican immigrants weren't here.

When I move to Canada, I plan on doing it right, going through the process of becoming a legal citizen in that country. It may take longer, but at least when I get there I won't be in danger of being kicked out. At least not for being there illegally. Other illegal things I may be doing once I arrive in Canada, I cannot take responsibility for.

I have so much more to say about this, but not enough time to type. So there you go, there are my thoughts, in brief. And, in case you're wondering, I still find Bush to be wanting.
