Many businesses across America will be closed Monday for “A Day Without Immigrants” to protest President Donald Trump’s deportation policies.

Workers in those businesses who are participating will stay at home, CBS News reported Sunday, noting some workplaces in Minnesota were shutting down for the allotted time.

“The movement highlights immigrant workers’ contributions and their everyday impact on businesses, from restaurants to retail shops,” the outlet said.

Several restaurants in Washington, DC, will also reportedly be closed for the day, and NBC Washington said the demonstration also urges immigrants to stay home from school.

In addition, several Chicago businesses are also keeping their doors closed to join the protest that “comes as the new Trump administration conducts promised arrests of undocumented immigrants for deportation, including across the Chicago area,” Fox 32 reported Monday.

I saw on the news last night a Mexican grocery in Pittsburgh was closing for the day. Exactly who will be hurt? Not the customers, I'm sure. They can wait to purchase items, or just go somewhere else.

So the owners are giving up a full days receipts, cutting off their narices to spite their caras.

It does seem like an odd way to protest.
