Today, activists are urging immigrants to not go to work or school and boycott legitimate businesses in a show of "solidarity" in the face of those who would take away their rights as citizens--oh wait, I might have gotten a bit mixed up there.

Surprisingly, teacher's unions are urging that students who walk out of school not face discipline. One wonders what they are trying to teach.

It is coincidence, of course, that this event coincides with May Day, the international day of homage by the extreme left to the time when communist workers rule the world.

Base10 thinks this should become a national holiday. Immigrant's Day. Every year, if you are an immigrant or are related to one you can have the day off from work or school. The only people that would get screwed out of a day off would be Native Americans, Inuits and Hawaians. They'd have to report for work, of course. Talk about a proposal that would have broad-based support!
