Laborer center draws a crowd(Herndon,VA)

A Herndon Town Council public hearing on the future of a taxpayer-funded day-laborer center moved toward midnight last night, as dozens of speakers signed up to discuss several proposals including a provision to require the center's new operator to verify workers' legal status.

The council has applied for a temporary permit extension for the site's operator, Project Hope and Harmony, which does not verify employment eligibility, while the town procures a new operator for the Herndon Official Workers Center that would be required to check legal status.

"We're happy that the Town Council is taking a step closer to bringing the center into full compliance with the law," said Aubrey Stokes, founder of the anti-illegal-alien group Help Save Herndon, in an interview before the meeting.

The hearing, the last item on the council's agenda, began shortly after 10 p.m. At that time, 47 persons had signed up to speak, with more possible, including representatives of Help Save Herndon, Help Save Loudoun, Help Save Manassas, the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps of Virginia and day-laborer and illegal-alien advocates.

Advocacy groups bused in more than 100 day laborers from outside Herndon. The workers, predominantly Hispanic men, and their supporters wore pinned signs that read, "Keep HOW open! Why put them on the streets again?"

The continued and increased presence of illegals is part of a deliberate and well-planned destruction of the middle class and, especially, the independent self-employed trade and service people. The very wealthy - those who live on “wealth” as opposed to “earned income” - would much prefer to be securely on top in an oligarchial social and economic system with a vast divide between rich and poor. It gives them a vast pool of desperate people from which they can “lift” their choice of servants.
On the other side are the committed socialists who think that ever larger numbers of illegals will crush out the hated middle class and its values. Socialism is always oligarchial so the goals of the very rich coincide nicely with those of these “workers’ paradise” zealots.
It is class warfare, whether those of us who think of ourselves as middle class recognize it or not, and we are “on the block”.

It own’t be much longer before Northern Virginia liberals pass a law requiring homeowners to provide a room and dinner for any illegal aliens that happen to want to stop by for a visit.

Having a work station like this would seem to open the municipality to all kinds of lawsuits for nuisance, noise, traffic, trespass...
