Just like no one wants to see the Mexican flag at immigration protests. He can put it up in his house. Stand downs are good PR, but I really question their effectiveness. What I'd like to see is periodic follow up and reports on how the attendees' situation has improved over the longer term: 3-month, 6-month etc. It would be good to know if they're just a feel-good show or actually accomplishing any real good.
