An immigrant strike to raise awareness

The Problem:
Anti-immigration policies and prejudice against immigrants

The Social Invention:
There is much prejudice against immigrants and many politicians play on this fear and suggest that immigration should be stopped. Immigrants make a valuable contribution to society which is often unrecognised. They stimulate the economy by filling low-paid jobs.

I suggest that immigrants and those descended from them should strike simultaneously so that their contribution can be appreciated. Hospitals and hotels would not be cleaned, kitchens could not prepare food, you wouldn't be able to get a taxi or a doctor, fruit would not be harvested etc etc.
