The top three meat packing companies are closing plants today--the largest is shutting down half its plants for the day. Similar effects are likely occuring in produce, manufacturing, and so on.\nMany restaurants will be short-handed. McDonald's--for one--has announced shorter drive-through hours.\nBasically, we'll see it with food services on all levels, in addition to most stores, factories, construction sites. . .\n\nA single day boycott, however, will likely be mostly seen in restaurants and stores. Crops not being harvested for a single day won't do much to the price. Meat packing being cut for one day won't be greatly noticed unless you work at one of the closed factories. Were this boycott were permanant, we would see dramatic price rises in most consumer goods, and a redused retail sector. Many companies would die, costing US citizens their jobs.

Has somthin' to do with things like - \n\nTyson Foods was indicted on 36 charges of conspiracy to recruit and transport undocumented workers from Mexico to 15 of its 57 plants across the country. \n\nTyson continues to hold U.S. government contracts worth more than $200 million a year.\n\nTyson don't want Bushies little plans, see how insignificant you and the other racists who are against immigration rights are?  Even your buddies don't listen to you people.  \n\nCorporate rule is here to stay, go away bigots, go away!

Speaking for Los Angeles CA. Traffic on the freeway was wonderful. I did not see much effect on business as the day was for Mexican Illegal immigration. There are many other immigrants from South American countries such as Guatamala that many people associate with being "mexican" yet did not march. Just a funny side note...\nI was driving around my city noticing the homeless people...\nI did not see any latino or hispanic homeless people. Of all the homeless I saw, the majority were white, and a few african americans...but no latinos

What type of business?

its affecting the u.s. because the illegal aliens are taking jobs that the poor can do like manual labor and leaving the poor to die. so they basically are steeling money from the U.S. and taking it to there home country. there for we are losing a lot of money and U.S. citizens aren't getting jobs.

Smoke and mirrors, criminal republican style. Real jobs getting outsourced while our fellow Americans get to choose between Taco Bell, McDonalds, or Burger King. :`(

Any compamy that has made the news for being fined for having illegal immigrants working for them are on a list beside my computer. If they pay the fines - they have admitted wrong doing.\n\nI don't deal with them and am doing research to find their other fields of business.  They won't get my money so I am not supporting them.

I will probably go to my local Mexican cantina and whoop it up with my Mexican brothers and sisters, eat carne asada and drink Corona. It is a FIESTA!, anything but focus on the recent immigration debate, that can be done on another day.

It would be better to boycott the American businesses who hire illegals.  While you're boycotting, write your local government officials and ask them to enforce the laws by fining these businesses, deporting the workers, and not taking bribes from lobbyists!

Corporations. They've been entrenched against unions for years. The "undocumented immigrants" sounds like a Nativist talking point but there is something else to consider. Raise that minimum wage and you'll HAVE american jobs created since the current minimum waeg is unlivable.

It is time to deal legally with employer's who use them for cheap labor,shut the door until we can take care of the legal citizen first kick out the ones here illegally lots of work to be done once again your government has failed to perform its function by enforcing the laws on the books!

are you referring to illegal immigration? then you could start by talking about getting into everyday things that they effect and then get into the larger aspects such as costing the government billions of dollars, hospitals not having enough money and having to close down, crime rates, etc.\nif just immigration, talk about how they come here and start businesses or whatever and the reasons they came.

There is controversy. I know someone who had to teach the foreigner who was taking her job what to do. It's rough up here in the Mitten, but how can one protest against something going on overseas when it's easier to protest what's going on at home?\n\nAfter all, we need jobs here NOW. Illegal immigrants are taking away those chances. We also need the jobs overseas, but we can't be immediately affected by them (in terms of, if the owners said they'll come back, they won't be back for months or maybe years.)

Way to go!  Congrats to the friend who got the new job as well!  If the illegals went home, business would be forced to pay a better wage and would entice US citizens to work!

You MUST report them to the Better Business, Labor Department and get an attorney.  In the event you are an illegal immigrant it would not matter that you have to put up with your employer's failure to pay you.  Get all the documentation you can get.  If you don't have paper documents see if you can get a hold of office e-mails, memos, phone record's etc.. Also try to get your employer to put in writing the reason's why the company is in trouble and why you aren' being paid and by when do they expect to pay you.  Also try to find out if this has happened before to others before and try to get their story.  Keep dates of all conversations with your employer and try to get them to put in writing any agreements and to sign them.

It's not just "browns" (Mexicans) it's Asians and Europeans too. I was walking home from school today and there's this little plaza with Mexican-owned stores. All closed. The Korean-owned liquor store? Closed. The Armenian-owned Laundromat? Closed as well. If I could have, I would have protested too, but I had school to worry about.\n\n(Just in case you wanna know, I live in L.A.)
