PROPOSED ILLEGAL ALIEN 'DAY LABORER' CENTER VOTED **DOWN** IN HERNDON, VIRGINIA!!!

Planning Commission Votes Against Day Labor Site

HERNDON, Va. (AP) - A set back for those hoping to build a site in Herndon, Virginia for day laborers.

WMAL Radio reports the planning commission voted early this morning against the site. A third public hearing on the matter was held last night. On Monday, hundreds of people signed up to speak at the hearing -- so many the extra session had to be added.

Supporters say the site would provide a safe gathering place for people who are willing to do undesirable jobs for low pay. It would also provide them with English tutors and social workers.

Opponents say most of the day laborers are in the country illegally and tax dollars should not be used to build such a facility.

It'll now be up to the Herndon Town Council whether to approve it. A vote on the 170-thousand dollar facility is expected on August 16th.

I suspect if the Herndon Town Council want to keep their jobs, they will vote it down.

My, my. Look at those lovely, goodhearted men who just want to put food on their families' tables! I'm certain they will enrich us by their presence. How could those evil, redneck, gun-toting vigilantes possibly object to such sweethearts? (sarc)

Where are they going to put the people who are not "willing to do undesirable jobs for low pay"?

You must be referring to the hordes of illegals who are on the public dole via false birth certificates, false social security numbers, false green cards, etc. That's the big question - what about them? Answer: They'll continue on their merry way, bilking the American taxpayers.

The spinless elected leaders, from the top all the way down to the bottom, will do nothing to stop this thievery.

Yeah, those are the same good-looking guys who are represented by the guy who called into Michael Graham's show yesterday AM, and announced that if he had to steal or shoplift to put food on his table for his family, then he would do it. "We are all just trying to put food on our tables." he announced, failing to appreciate the irony that some of us would prefer it if he and others of his ilk would only do it LEGALLY!!!

Whenever I hear Spanish spoken now, I turn around and tell them to "go home" - and yes, I say it in Spanish just in case they don't understand that much English.

You joke but you might not be that far from the truth.

This President has REALLY let us down on this one, despite him being good on a number of other issues.

Their is no denying the President's failure to get this thing under control.

I don't know the Herndon plan, but the problem with these IAHC's from the get go is that the centers don't require any ID verification. Our local illegal alien day care job center told one citizen they accept any ID as long as it isn't written in crayon. It is the employer's responsibility to verify the eligibility of their workers. City workers at the center are not qualified to verify the authenticity of IDs and prospective employers, many of whom do not speak Spanish, rely on the center's "multilingual" staff to interpret putting the onus right back on the city and making the city complicit in the hiring of foreign nationals ineligible to work in this country.

A little update on Costa Mesa's IAHC from today's Daily Pilot below. Costa Mesa intends to close it's Yob Center by the end of the year. Local Yob Center advocates are holding private meetings, with the Chamber of Commerce acting as intermediary. The meeting are, as previously mentioned, private and participants' identities are being concealed from the great unwashed citizenry because, as civic leader (hardy har) and grand poobah of the Chamber so eloquently stated "you don't invite Dr. Kevorkian to a birthing (of a new business)." This new business is, of course, a supposedly privatized version of the old Yob Center.

The article is a follow-up on a citizen's** complaint to the City Attorney calling these meetings a violation of the Brown Act as "It alleged that members of the City Council and city staff have worked with an independent committee but withheld information about their involvement and the committee's work." And the City Attorney has rejected those claims BECAUSE whether or not Council Members attended these backroom illegal alien luv fests, they did not have a quorum in attendance and did not take notes. At least that's what I get from it.

The Pilot falls under the LA Times umbrella but I'm not sure if it requires a password. I don't believe so.

City denies violating Brown Act

The Opinion section of the paper must be experiencing a lull as the paper poses the Question:

"Are you concerned about the secrecy of the meetings being held concerning the future of the Costa Mesa Job Center? Call our Readers Hotline at (714) 966-4664 or send e-mail to dailypilot@latimes.com. Please spell your name and tell us your hometown and phone numbers for verification purposes only."

** The paper calls EVERYONE "residents" these days. I prefer a clarification and I know the "resident" in question is a citizen.

When the subject is illegal aliens, it's always one step forward and two steps back for American taxpayers. Our votes and our opinions don't mean squat anymore.

I must have been out of my mind when I voted for the "compassionate conservative" in 2000. He's leading the way, and his drooling minions are following...

It should prove mighty interesting to read the "Doing Business As" statement of CM's new improved Job Center.

Watch the classifieds and let us know who the owner is!

Hopefully one of these days we'll have a President who will actually enforce the laws, and these "day labor centers" can be torn down and a few million freeloaders will be sent home.

All this stuff, be it Costa Mesa in California, Herndon in Virginia, places in North Carolina, Massachusetts, ANYWHERE in the US where IAHC's are planned, should be sent into a central strategic brain center, such as F.A.I.R. or Judicial Watch, and whatever works in one community in terms of shutting these days, or aborting them before they come to term, or otherwise showing some measure of success, could be shared with other communities that are just coming on line with these illegal alien center headaches (supported by liberal officeholders but funded by the unwilling unwashed masses), in other words, templates of success should be shared so they can be replicated.

Further intelligence collected on the opposition, and how they want to spread the idea of Herndon-type (actually Arlington, VA-type) IAHC's (Illegal Alien Hiring Centers), around the area, as a "constructive approach". Here is the text from a paper several days ago:

Los establecimientos de trabajo para jornaleros contribuyen positivamente al estado, aseguró el miembro de la Junta de Gobierno del condado de Arlington, Walter Tejada durante un evento social, el pasado martes, para recaudar fondos para un centro de jornaleros. El oficial aplaudió la decisión del condado de apoyar al Centro de Empleo y Educación de Shirlington (SEEC, por sus siglas en inglés), una organización que a diario provee servicios a docenas de jornaleros. “El condado tiene la responsabilidad de ayudarlos (a los jornaleros) a encontrar trabajo de una manera ordenada”, dijo. Asimismo criticó la actual polémica en Herndon por el plan de construcción de un edificio para trabajadores temporales. “Demostrémosle a Herndon y a otros lugares que nosotros podemos solucionar el problema de una forma constructiva”, señaló el político de origen Salvadoreño. Por su parte, el legislador demócrata por Virginia, Jim Moran, alabó el trabajo de los jornaleros

Well, you gotta wonder.

One of the founders of Project Hope and Harmony is someone named Mukrit Hossain.

Sounds like a nice enough guy when you read:

But then there's also the following which detail some of his other affiliations :

It takes a lot of courage to get out there and protest this. I can imagine the hate spewed his way.

But there's no "Mukrit Hossain" in that first document (Front Page Mag).

No, but it discusses ADAMS, of which he is/was on the board of trustees, and also 500 Grove Street, where FAITH is registered.
