Immigrant Work Stoppage Flops: A Day Without Immigrants Fails to Gain Traction
“A Day Without Immigrants,” a national protest on Monday, will see numerous businesses close to highlight the significant contributions of immigrant workers to the U.S. economy. The initiative, spurred by recent anti-immigrant policies, aims to demonstrate the widespread impact of immigrant labor across various sectors. Many businesses, including restaurants like Michelandia Bar and Grill, are participating to show solidarity and address the fear and economic downturn impacting their communities. This action underscores the estimated 8.3 million undocumented immigrants employed in the U.S., representing over 5% of the workforce.
