August 14, 2005 - Washington Post Anti-Immigration Forces Focus on HerndonAs Herndon prepares to vote Tuesday on whether to designate an official gathering spot for day laborers, what began as a neighborhood quandary is evoking passions far beyond the town's borders.

Mark Williams, a guest host on WMAL-AM, exhorted his audience last week to line up at Tuesday's Town Council meeting, "whether you're from Herndon or Timbuktu," to protest plans to use public money to create a new gathering site for the job seekers, many of them undocumented immigrants from Mexico and Central America.

Council members "have absolutely no intention of following the law," Williams boomed on "The Michael Graham Show" on Monday, broadcasting 3,000 miles away from WFBK in Sacramento. "The issue you're trying to solve," he told listeners, "is the fact that the United States has borders, and its citizens demand that they be enforced."

That was not the kind of attention Herndon leaders and residents anticipated when they began debating how to use local zoning and nuisance laws to deal with growing anger at the large groups of often noisy and disruptive men who congregate in parking lots and on sidewalks seeking work every morning...........***
