Default Will the "Immigrant Boycott" shut down any airports?

("Jay Honeck" wrote)
Tomorrow is the so-called "Immigrant Boycott", planned so that illegal
aliens can make a show of their economic clout in America by staying home
from work.


I know the lodging industry is having a bird about the potential impact of
this boycott, as evidenced by the hilarious "urgent action updates" we
have been receiving from the Lodging Association. We are finding it truly
enjoyable to watch as all the corrupt hoteliers who hired illegal aliens
in the first place -- basically everyone else in the lodging industry --
panics about their plight.



They can pay their "guest workers" double-time-and-a-half tomorrow ...or
close up shop.

(x2.5) is about where the wages would be without "guest workers" so one day
of it shouldn't be too much for those businesses to bear.

I'm not sure what they're trying to accomplish with this boycott? It could
have an unforeseen negative result for the ILLEGALS ...I mean, "guest
workers".
