Hundreds of people have reported losing their jobs as a result of staying home last Thursday as part of the Day Wothout Immigrants protest. The protest, which was against Trump's attempts to restrict immigration, highlighted the importance of immigrants and their contributions. Many students also participated in the protest in their schools. Over the weekend, several rallies took place across US cities for additional protests.
This article was written to highlight and explain the responses to Trump's immigration policies. The author seems to have a bias against Trump, so its audience is probably primarily anti-Trump as well. Through social media, these protests and their effects were able to be shared instantly to the whole country.
This can relate to the anti-immigrant nativism of the KKK during the early 1900s.
