A portion of the transcript dealing specifically with the strike aspect: I watched the same report on NBC followed by their affiliate in Houston for local coverage, Both were very positive for the Illegal cause and both were able to "cherry pick" a business or two where the owners either shut down or a large percentage of workers failed to show up. But only an estimated 1 million illegal workers actually went on strike and demonstrated nation wide. Evidently the other 11 million either worked or just took the day off. It didn't seem to have the effect the organizers hoped for, shutting down cities and striking fear into the hearts of American business owners. It appears to me the businesses they hurt, if any, were mainly business that served the Hispanic community.
