Re: How were you affected by “a day without immigrants”?
Well, I've spent about 2-3 hours studying this issue since yesterday's protests, so it has certainly had an effect on me.

Zero impact on me, except maybe I missed some real news.

Hit and run accidents were down 90%. People actually paying their emergency room bills increase 210%. [/ QUOTE ] Wow. That's amazing. How did you personally observe all that?

Re: How were you affected by “a day without immigrants”?
My entire factory didn't show up for work (roughly 50 people). I had known they wouldn't. I was approached last week and told they wanted to march. (My factory personnel is virtually 100% hispanic.) We opened on Saturday and had 100% attendance. I kept the factory open on Monday; anyone who showed would likely have made overtime as the extra work day would have put them over 40 hours. Nobody came.
It was something of a burden in that we receive a lot of orders on Monday for shipment that week and, obviously, couldn't get started on those on Saturday since they weren't received yet.

As a college student in Seattle's suburbs, I don't think the effect reached up here. Traffic in the morning was worse, oddly enough, but I'm sure that was just variance.
