"Day Without Immigrants", Tags Posted - May 2, 2006

The "Day Without Immigrants" yesterday ended in what I earlier anticipated would be a counter-productive blow to the forces of open borders and pro-amnesty. There was wide scale violence here in southern California, as over 100 people threw rocks and bottles at police in Los Angeles, with similar violence in Santa Ana. Earlier reports indicated American counter-protestors waving American flags were assaulted in L.A., as had happened in protests across the country the last 2 months.

Otherwise, the consequences produced a day in paradise here as there was virtually no vehicle traffic anywhere including downtown L.A. during rush hour, the first time I've ever seen such a phenomenon on a regular working day. I went to a Walmart, a gas station, and a auto body garage, and business appeared brisk with what I can profile as almost all legal residents spending top dollar, but there were virtually no lines or queues. Reports are the emergency clinics were almost empty and students at school, who were 27% short of their regular enrollment, received the best education in one day they ever received. It occurred to me that most illegal aliens shop at businesses that normally hire many illegals, many of the businesses closed down and were deservedly hurt.

Work resumed on fence reconstruction in east San Diego county this past weekend. About 200 people erected 1/4 mile of fencing. The group there did not include any members of BorderFenceProject.com, and the Bureau of Land Management threatened to report fence builders to law enforcement. Our work to the west had the full support of the Department of the Interior ranger (Bureau of Land Management is part of the Department of the Interior) and our Standard Form 299 permit is still pending with them. I erected four of the tags we had designed for four fence posts, including the one on the left. If you would like to make your own statement about America or border policy, please go to http://www.borderfenceproject.com/adopt-a-post.php and we will design a tag for your own adopted post.

Thank you for reading and being a part of our unprecedented mission.
