As with any trending global hashtag, detractors are showing up as well:
Is today a #daywithoutimmigrants or, more accurately, a day without illegals? We may find out we don't need them so badly after all

Media lie: Americans want illegal aliens to have "pathway to citizenship".
Truth: Citizens want pathway to deportation #DayWithoutImmigrants— Sam Valley (@SamValley) February 16, 2017
Illegal immigrants need to go home and fix their own countries instead of running to the US & destroying our economy.#DayWithoutImmigrants pic.twitter.com/ZzdA5qrt4u

The left is simply trying to corrrupt you, stick to your work ethic!— Carl Davis (@cpacad) February 16, 2017
#daywithoutimmigrants ridiculous closing their businesses? Come here legally that's all we're asking. Like all of those before you.
