Tom Tancredo points out some other
conveniently ignored side affects of a
real day without illegal immigrants:
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.
Here's more:
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.
There's more, including this interesting side note:
...Catholic Churches in the southwestern states might have 20-percent fewer parishioners at Mass if all illegals stayed home...
All in all, it sounds like a pretty nice day doesn't it? That is, if you are a citizen or here legally. But then, we don't seem to get much play in the debate.

Frankly it was a lovely day. Lighter traffic, less gas guzzling pollution spewing Baja cars on the roads.
The local McDonalds was closed, saving the masses from eating fat.
Yes, it was a lovely day.
That was until a bunch of protesters began pelting cops with bottles and rocks.
Nice, illegals performing illegal acts to protest about rights that are not their's because they are not legally here. If they want those rights, either get legal or go home and fix your own country.
I am happy to have you here, but only legally, as my ancestors were required to come in hundreds of years ago. If you can't hack it, I can show you where the border is.
Nice post, Spottswoode. I had not heard those figures, but I can't say they surprised me living here in Tucson, Arizona.
