A Great Day in L.A. (No Illegals = Clear Freeways)
by James Buchanan
The Latinos thought they would stun America with their one day boycott. They would bring the Anglos to their knees by denying them maid service, gardening and fast food for a whole day. Instead, something wonderful happened. The freeways were clear. It was like a miracle. Even in the middle of the rush hour, traffic was moving smoothly.
One website notes “The above image is a screenshot of SIGALERT.com’s traffic website taken at 6PM today. Note that each colored dot represents a traffic sensor that is reporting the average speed of traffic passing over that part of the freeway. As you can see, nearly everything is green, which means traffic was traveling over 55 miles per hour. Usually at this same time on a normal weekday, this traffic map shows lots of yellow and red dots, meaning traffic is crawling along at stop and go speeds. My commute to and from work today were both amazingly stress-free and fast. Most traffic was doing well above the speed limit, and I didn’t notice the typical stalled cars in the middle of the road, broken-down junkers on the shoulder nor any dilapidated vehicles spewing clouds of oily smoke. Radio traffic reporters and radio talk show callers all reported terrific traffic conditions. My coworkers, friends and relatives reported the same thing. In short, a day on the road without illegal aliens was fantastic.” (more…)
