All of the hard-working, undocumented “visitors” that usually help me run this site have decided to take the day off to display their ability to cripple the blogosphere.

In the meantime, here are some things to contemplate:

1. Is it a coincidence that liberals have chosen May 1st to hold their boycott?

2. Who is being ethnocentric and racist - those of us who love the melting pot of the United States and welcome all legal immigrants, or:

- those who form groups like “La Raza” (translation: “The Race”)

- those refusing to assimilate into the culture of the U.S.

- those calling for a “Nothing Gringo” day today.

3. If the illegals and their protestor-handlers think the United States is treating them so poorly, why are they still here… and why do they keep coming?

Update: Tom Tancredo adds some more perspective on what “a day without illegal immigrants” means to the U.S.:

But if illegal aliens all took the day off and were truly invisible for one day, there would be some plusses along with the mild inconveniences.

Hospital emergency rooms across the southwest would have about 20-percent fewer patients, and there would be 183,000 fewer people in Colorado without health insurance.

OBGYN wards in Denver would have 24-percent fewer deliveries and Los Angeles’s maternity-ward deliveries would drop by 40 percent and maternity billings to Medi-Cal would drop by 66 percent.

Youth gangs would see their membership drop by 50 percent in many states, and in Phoenix, child-molestation cases would drop by 34 percent and auto theft by 40 percent.

In Durango, Colorado, and the Four Corners area and the surrounding Indian reservations, the methamphetamine epidemic would slow for one day, as the 90 percent of that drug now being brought in from Mexico was held in Albuquerque and Farmington a few hours longer. According to the sheriff of La Plata County, Colorado, meth is now being brought in by ordinary illegal aliens as well as professional drug dealers.

If the “Day-Without-an-Immigrant Boycott” had been held a year earlier on May 8, 2005, and illegal alien Raul Garcia-Gomez had stayed home and did not work or go to a party that day, Denver police officer Donnie Young would still be alive and Garcia-Gomez would not be sitting in a Denver jail awaiting trial.

If the boycott had been held on July 1, 2004, Justin Goodman of Thornton, Colorado, would still be riding his motorcycle and Roberto Martinez-Ruiz would not be in prison for killing him and then fleeing the scene while driving on a suspended license.

If illegal aliens stayed home—in Mexico, Guatemala, Brazil, and 100 other countries—the Border Patrol would have 3,500 fewer apprehensions (of the 12,000 who try each day).

Colorado taxpayers would save almost $3,000,000 in one day if illegals do not access any public services, because illegal aliens cost the state over $1 billion annually according to the best estimates.

Colorado’s K-12 school classrooms would have 131,000 fewer students if illegal aliens and the children of illegals were to stay home, and Denver high schools’ dropout rate would once again approach the national norm.

Colorado’s jails and prisons would have 10-percent fewer inmates, and Denver and many other towns would not need to build so many new jails to accommodate the overcrowding.

Our highway patrol and county sheriffs would have about far fewer DUI arrests and there would be a dramatic decline in rollovers of vanloads of illegal aliens on I-70 and other highways.

Update 2: This reporter hates America.

“You took this country. You killed people in order to take this country for yourselves.”

1. To all these illegals I say this is my country and I am not about to give it to you. Hasta La Vista rapidamente Vamanos!

2. Agreed —

   When my grandparents immigrated they assimilated.

3. Sorry, but this current crop of Mexican illegal immigrants are highly ethnocentric and racist. Try asking their opinions about blacks, or Asians. They openly hate them, and don’t get them started on Middle Easterners. The issue is illegal immigration, but the ethnocentric Mexican illegals have made the issue only about themselves. The last time I checked, Mexican illegals aren’t the only illegal immigrants, but they could care less about the other races.

4. Just another note or two, but the freeways were a little lighter today, and I bet the number of traffic accidents is lower today too. We should have more days when illegals take themselves out of the system, it’s freeing up our society.

5. A Day Without A Lawless Ingrate

   If you find that your local convenience store (or any other business, for that matter) is short-handed today, you might want to think carefully about whether or not you want to come back tomorrow, when their illegal workers will be back on the job. D…

6. Did you all see and hear the illegal talking about his rights under the Constitution? Is everyone nuts or what?
