No Immigrants Day

Jonah Goldberg
The Corner

A lot of angry lefty readers are moving the goal posts about yesterday's protests. Some of yesterday's demonstrations were big — in LA, Chicago and Denver, as I said this morning — but on the whole, the protests were smaller than last month's demonstrations. And in countless other cities they were in fact a fizzle. But that's beside the point. The point of yesterday was not to draw big crowds, it was show the economic clout of immigrants — mostly illegal immigrants. While I'm sure some neighborhoods felt the impact, over all the effect on life in America was trivial. The most common reaction from my readers was a joyful appreciation that traffic was a bit lighter. That's hardly a mortal blow to American capitalism.
