“I didn’t participate in Monday’s “A Day Without Immigrants” boycotts or rallies. Taking the day off from my job as a columnist somehow didn’t seem appropriate or fruitful.

Nor did I cover the day’s events for the newspaper. Like most, I followed the updates and saw the photos of flag-bearing immigrants and supporters of compassionate reform.

“Throngs rally across U.S.,” read the next day’s Express-News front-page headline”
