No, I believe if all illegal immigrants were not here and back where they came from that it would actually lower our medical cost and welfare debt. now it might take a day or so to restaff some business and the work force but it can be done we would not suffer that much

Get use to it.  The real native Americans did!\n\nAll the racism in the world WILL NOT stop immigrants - legal or not.  So shut the f*ck up and move over! \n\n\nI say welcome muchachos - there is room for all of us.!!

Life would go on... I don't think America is going to fall apart without any one minority (not that I have anything against Hispanics, or minorities in general)... I suspect this is in response to 'what would happen if illegal immigrants get mad and leave the USA.  This seems to be the line the media is running with these days, but the mass protests on May 1st didn't affect the economy in any substantial manner (the 10cent hike in gas prices has done far more than they could hope to do), heck it even made my day better, since a segment of the population wasted their time making fools of themselves protesting in the streets instead of impeding traffic on the interstate...

Whatever it was it probably needed sinking.We all need to made aware of Illegal Immigration.I think you can place Illegal Immigration on the same level as Pearl Harbor.  Talked about it for years and then Boom.We've been talking about it for years. Everyone knows what happens when you awake a sleeping giant.It's history people.

I hope it's a very long tunnel .... :(  I'm sorry, but with all this shouting racist by most people who either are illegal immigrants, or for some mysterious reason pro illegal immigration, one can't but help feeling a bit peeved ... to say the least ... I mean, since when did it become racist to want to protect the borders and uphold the law of the land?

No, it did not change my mind. Most who protested are illegals (many were not) and by protesting and leaving the job for a day they thumbed their noses at the very people who gave them jobs (illegally or not, they were given jobs). Biting the hand that feeds you to use a cliche.  Also, they are here ILLEGALLY, that means they are in violation of our laws. I commend those who came here legally and fought long and hard for their citizenship, so we are now just to hand it over because they are protesting? What about all those people who have studied and worked hard to become citizens?  What a slap in their face.

my answer is none and none it might make an interesting change if anyone from even a different town came here. Why leave England to get away from foreign people ,surely other countries are full of them ? !!!

Immigration is the sincerest form of flattery.They didn't mean any direspect by it.And technically they didn't change anything.

Speaking for Los Angeles CA. Traffic on the freeway was wonderful. I did not see much effect on business as the day was for Mexican Illegal immigration. There are many other immigrants from South American countries such as Guatamala that many people associate with being "mexican" yet did not march. Just a funny side note...\nI was driving around my city noticing the homeless people...\nI did not see any latino or hispanic homeless people. Of all the homeless I saw, the majority were white, and a few african americans...but no latinos

Well it is safe to say, the illegal immigrants were out shopping today. More so then the Americans that pay for their benefits so they have that extra buying power now.

My day didn't see any differences...and there were plenty of level headed Hispanics working and shopping...just like the rest of us Americans did.

The minorities would be still be f*cked so it doesn't matter. Although maybe white folks would now know how it feels.

Obviuosly you are one of those who think only rich housewives benefit from immigrant labor. Agribusiness and a lot of manufacturers in the south rely heavily on illegal immigrants. Why would it not go up? I'm surprised it didn't go up more, but I guess the big guys waited to see what the backlash was.
