A growing number of Twin Cities businesses will close Thursday in solidarity with a nationwide protest dubbed a “Day Without Immigrants.”
The one-day boycott, organized through social media, urges immigrants — whether citizens or not — to not go to work, open their businesses, spend money or send their children to school in reaction to President Trump’s views and actions on immigration. The idea is to send a message that the “country is paralyzed” without immigrants, who do everything from run corporate boardrooms to clean them.
In the Twin Cities, primarily Hispanic-owned businesses posted Facebook messages saying they will close, while operators of other restaurants and hotels are talking to their staffs to get a feel for how many will participate. Most say it’s difficult to estimate how many will do so.
“This really is a grass-roots thing that just came out of nowhere,” said Maya Santamaria, owner of La Raza Radio and Telemundo Minnesota.

I have tomorrow off. I will be dining and shopping all day. Any business closed tomorrow due to this crap will be personally blacklisted for life.
Any "business" on Lake Street, east of 35W, where everyone knows your name, if it's Gomez, will be shuttered. I don't go there, anyway. Ever.
Shut it down tomorrow and you will NEVER see another penny from me and many of my friends.
Just add up the numbers.
Let them brag about participation.
We’ll see if that 10 million figure holds up.
Minnesota is a cesspool of female whiny folks. They produce total crap for elected junk. I really hope the are over run and our land there retaken. I like to fish. Screw them.
I’ll bet that the Somali airport taxi drivers will be at work, as usual.
They love the money.
I’d like to see a “day without white guys”. That would be interesting.
A day?
I’ll take a week, month, year, or more.
Didn’t they try something like this a few years ago? And no one noticed?
How much you want to bet that tomorrow will pass just like any other day.
In the meantime, illegals don’t get paid for time off work. So they are hurting only the people they claim to want to help.
liberal “logic.”
Yeah, it’s an old idea. It’s been tried.
Turned out that they stayed up all night drinking the night before and they didn’t show up for work because they were still drunk.
I think tomorrow will be different.
There may be violent confrontations, thanks to the previous occupant of 1600.
Be prepared and please be safe tomorrow.
I understand. I am a supporter of Black taxpayers.There are a million of them.I am a brother of black Black working fathers and mothers. I am an enemy to parasite whit or Black or Mexican. !! I love real Americans.
Unseasonably warm tomorrow, here.
I expect mob violence.
I hope that I am wrong.
'Day Without Immigrants' protestTypical leftists bastardizing the language to make them look good (you know, like "gay")
Sorry to disappoint you dimwits but a day or more without immigrants illegals won't have any impact on my life whatsoever.
We need a country with a border more than we need welfare-consuming immigrants voting themselves into our pocket books.
