‘Day Without Immigrants’ Transitions into ‘Life Without a Job’ for Protesters

The “Day Without Immigrants” protest demanding amnesty, lax immigration enforcement, and cheap labor practices fizzled in most U.S. cities, and now many demonstrators have lost their jobs for skipping work.

NBC News reports at least 100 workers lost their jobs at different restaurants and businesses after the February 16 protest.

Migrants who advocated for the wage-suppressing, cheap labor policies allowing them to work in the U.S. found themselves rapidly replaced by new workers. One business, the I Don’t Care Bar and Grill in Catoosa, Oklahoma, fired several workers by text message: “You and your family are fired. I hope you enjoyed your day off, and you can enjoy many more. Love you.” The next day, the restaurant posted an announcement looking for new workers on Facebook.

The migrant workers say they felt their firings were unfair, but the owner had a long-standing “no call/no show” policy.

Another 18 employees working at Bradley Coatings in Tennessee told their bosses they were skipping work to protest in a “Day Without Immigrants” demonstration. The business promptly fired them for missing work.

“I would tell him he was unfair, after working for them for so many years, giving him our best,” one migrant worker told KTNV. “They could not understand that it was just one day. We were going to make up that day on a Sunday, but they didn’t understand that, and it was not the best way. They didn’t give us an opportunity and just told us we were fired.”

Many protesters in the “Day Without Immigrants” marches waved foreign flags to emphasize they were loyal to countries whose main export was cheap labor–with costs inflicted on taxpayers and profits awarded to employers.

The snowflakes need to start understanding that the rules do apply to them. Break the law - go to jail. Don't come to work - get fired. Suck it up and get back in the normal world.

The boss should hand these out to those applying
for a job.

No question about it. An employee doesn't have the right to decide what is or is not an excuse for missing work, and political causes certainly don't qualify. I'm so glad to see those arrogant little creeps got what was coming to them.

Always wondered how all these protestors could skip work without getting fired. Guess some of them do!
Most of the time I just thought that protestors were non-workers. Had nothing better to do.

I have seen a lot of things about that day that said maybe a "Decade without Immigrants" might be the way to go. I am ready to agree with that and I certainly believe that ICE could find their jobs easier if they went to the employers who fired people and sending all the "illegals'' involved home.

Notice how these protesters fail to distinguish between legal and illegal immigrants. Legal immigration is not the problem. Illegal immigration is.

How stupid are these people anyway. With very few exceptions, these protesters just want publicity and they do nothing to change anything, it just makes the news...and fake news in some cases. McCain is correct, we should have a free press BUT it would be a breathe of fresh air to see a press that tells the truth without a party preference.
