“Day Without Immigrants

News:
A nationwide boycott, intended to illustrate the integral role that undocumented workers play in the U.S. economy, is underway today. Plans for the day vary; while some are set to skip school or work, others will only protest on their lunch breaks. Employer reaction is divided as well, and though some businesses are closed for the day, workers elsewhere who plan to take part in the demonstration fear they may not be have jobs to return to. Some reports suggest that division in the ranks of immigrant rights’ advocates may weaken the strength of today’s protests, though past demonstrations have consistently surpassed even organizers’ expectations.

I'm Stupid

I do not carry my SS card with me. I don't even use it for applying for a job. I have a passport for that. I'd hate to live in a country where one is compelled to produce their papers on demand. I do carry my driver's license when driving and if I'm ever carded at a bar, I ask the one who wants to know for a date ;-)
