A nice thought, but incredibly naive. No naive at all. You're saying we shouldn't enforce the law? In Freehold, NJ, there is a muster zone for these illegals. They hang out there all day waiting for work, for some landscaper or other business to pick them up. Cash trade. The town decided to shut down the zone, and began regular patrols to disperse the crowd: "Day laborers filed a federal class action lawsuit alleging the borough prevented workers from seeking employment. The lawsuit was filed on behalf of day laborers, many of whom are Hispanic immigrants, after the town shut down a muster zone where the laborers solicited work from area contractors. The class claimed they were harassed and threatened with police action for assembling at the location to scout work. The Borough of Freehold has agreed to settle the case for $278,000." -Newsday See? They were not illegal immigrants, they were "day laborers", and *many* were "Hispanic immigrants". All working for cash, neither the employer nor themselves paying the taxes they owe the government. Now talk about enforcing the laws already on the books. It's called due process. You can't shut down a whole class of people because of a suspected illegal activity. I'm not familiar with the specifics. Sounds like someone in the town screwed up. Exactly. Lazy fools who don't understand the law. "Let's just shut it down!" They cost the community nearly $300,000 because of their stupidity, and Johnson uses it as a pillar in his argument against illegals. Duh. |
