‘Day Without Immigrants’ encouraging workers to stay home in solidarity

AUSTIN (KXAN) — Organizers are trying to give people an idea of what a world without immigrants would be like on Thursday.
The campaign, part of a national movement, encourages immigrants and those who support them to remove themselves from the economy for the day.
That means not going to work and not buying or selling products. Organizers say they want to show how critical immigrants are to the US economy and way of life.
