Illegal immigration boycott

I haven't noticed any ill effects from the boycotts today.

I have, however, noticed a huge improvement in traffic patterns and congestion.

I think this is the downside of any kind of strike. You have several possible outcomes from this boycott in my way of thinking:

• Big protests, nobody cares, traffic is nicer, the message is, "I wish those illegals would protest more often!"
• Big protests, people care, but they ask, "So what are we supposed to do?"
• Big protests, people get angry saying, "If they're pissed off, let them leave. They cause problems for me as an employer, and I'm going to kick them out!"
• Big protests, people get polarised, saying, "I was a centrist but now I'm not so happy. We need to really crack down and fix this problem."
• Big protests, people are touched and affected, and we grant them amnesty and citizenship. Repeat this process 10 or 20 years from now.

Not very good outcomes, any of these. Whoever arranged these protests isn't too terribly bright. I predict only bad things from this. But I've been wrong before.
