FerrariChat Driver Survey ^ | 5/2/2006 | Southack

There was No Rush Hour Traffic Today in West Palm Beach, I heard the same for Fort Laud and Miami.

Thanks Illegals!!!

Could you all take off tommorow, or just go back to Mexico? It'd make my daily communte so much easier!

How was traffic in the other cities around the US today? Much better, right?

My commute takes me from the Heights area to Westhiemer and Beltway 8. I swear there was half the traffic as usual outbound this morning. Missing were all the landscape workers in their trucks w/trailers and a lot of construction people too. When do we start the deportations. I go home via Woodway and Memorial so all those clowns were in Memorial Park with their Mexican flags. GRRR.

I saw some at the protest that were carrying El Salvadore flags over an American flag that was hung upside down. I was hoping they would get hit by a bus. Never happened.

Getting home today was a breeze. Seemed like no one was on the road.

This should be a mandatory national holiday! ISH day.

Hmmm...the traffic aspect of the immigration protests might spark a very different sort of national backlash...

Lets bump this up into Frontpage, please, for a Free Republic nationwide survey.

Or poll. A poll on traffic would be good.

Rush had some callers calling in today commenting about the light traffic in their commute areas.

What did we learn?

Many businesses took a loss.

Most did not.

Most Schools in Calfornia had truancies..........and the lost was estimated at $2 million dollars Statewide .

Moral of the story?

Illegal Aliens are still ILLEGAL, whether libs try to call them "undocumented" or any other bullshit contrived names.

When will our Government enforce the status of ILLEGAL???

I never thought about this aspect of the march! If some smart FReeper figured the cost savings in high-priced gasoline from having a bunch of criminals on the road (illegally and without insurance), we could get the word out. (I still don't know why "they" can't round up the illegals at these marches, arrest and deport them.)

Thanks for the ping, Southack!

Obviously, in this matter, the MSM doesn't care about "clean air" nor "Global Warming". How were the asthma/allergy rates in those cities where the traffic was so low? Tsk. No mention, I'll bet.

Traffic on the Turnpike in Dade going north @ 6:15 A.M. seemed as light as it usually is at 5:45 A.M.

Illegals usually drive like crap, way below the speed limit in old junkers in the left, center, and right lane at the same time, sort of a moving roadblock.

Good post. I take MARTA (Metro Atlanta Regional Transit) because it's soooooo much easier than driving, but even there, I noticed the subways were not as packed and the buses actually had seats.

The strike felt like a trip down memory lane here in San Jose, at least traffic-wise. It was like 1975 again.
