Immigrant workers left their jobs Wednesday and lined Valley streets holding signs with slogans such as “I am your cook,” and “Sorry your house isn’t clean.”
VIDEO: Immigrants protest employer sanctions law
Motorists passing by yelled racial slurs and other phrases such as “Go back to Mexico!” But the protesters stood their ground.
“The people out here represent the thousands of families who live in the shadows of fear,” said Joel Aguilar, one of about 30 protesters who showed up near Main Street and Alma School Road in Mesa.
The Mesa demonstration was one of many organized by Immigrantes Sin Fronteras, or Immigrants Without Borders, against a new Arizona law that threatens employers who knowingly hire illegal immigrants with permanent loss of their business licenses.
Protesters have lined Valley streets daily during a nine-day campaign that will end Saturday.

Where is ICE ???
Guess they ‘forgot’ one word in the headline: “ILLEGAL”
Doubt any immigrants left their jobs today.
Probably a lot of illegal aliens did, though.
The pc police have eviscerated what used to be a nice word.
S.O.P.
Kind of hard to be hiding in the shadows if you're out in the middle of the street waving banners. Thanks, but no thanks. I can clean my own house and cook dinner for my family so I don't need any of them.
Was Jorge Bush there holding a sign?
Oh, I've finally figured it out. It's ICE that's hiding in the shadows afraid to do their job.
oh please I will clean my own house and cook my own food if you break the law you should get introuble.
I was wondering myself, thanks. One does get a bit sick of their melodramatic spew sometimes.
I spent over three hours today, scrubbing down my kitchen - cupboards, appliances and floors. Sure I could have called the local Merry Maids - but I don’t want strangers coming into my home, who will know the location of every window, door and nook and craney. Ever again.
Especially when they don’t speak English.
The BS these criminals spew is too much ...
I got this link in an email this week.

How about something like "Criminals protest law enforcement." Seems to fit this situation better.
I heard today that Congress (no clue if the House or Senate) is going to start debating the STRIVE Act tomorrow. Anyone else know anything about this. I have looked everywhere and can’t find anything on it.
I know what the STRIVE Act just can’t find anything on the debate on it.
I cook my own meals, I clean my own home. Get out.
I’d sure as heck like to know where ICE is too?
I love you Doctor Raoul.
