EAST HAMPTON, N.Y., Nov. 21 - The railroad station here looked different on Monday. The crowd of 20 or so Hispanic day laborers was gone, having abandoned the sidewalk in front of the station where the workers had long congregated on weekdays to wait for a job to drive up.

Too bad, so sad......
Good.
There are towns around the north Bay area that actually provide buildings/safe havens where you can go and hire these guys. Our tax dollars facilitating crime.
They are always worried about these guys, 99.9% of them illegal; where will they live? How will they eat? Will they be able to drive? Heck, there's a bit on the California report about how these indians from Mexico have no one here to provide medical care in their language. (They think insulan is addictive so they won't take it). Mexico provides happy meals, some idiot here provides shoes, others leave water. Next thing you know we'll have crossing guards at the border holding their hands like kindergartners on their first day.
Excellent!
Dry up the employer pool, the illegals will go home; or not come here in the first place.
Has anyone else noticed the huge number of "check casking/check advance" places all over the place?
These are the money-changers who charge the illegals large fees for cashing their checks. Also, millions of dollars are sent from these places, back to Mexico -- while our social systems provide the illegals with places to live, food, and medical care. They are sending the $$$$ home to Mexico.
These check-cashing places are not regulated like the banking industry. It is tax-evasion, plain and simple. Something must be done.
"Dry up the employer pool, the illegals will go home; or not come here in the first place."
I can not blame these people as individuals. They are seeking better lives.
They can observe that American businesses don't honor the law, so they conclude honoring laws is not a big deal, up norte.
Then they arrive, find little/no effort to expel find or expel them.
And tell the folks back home, to come on up. Jobs, nobody trying to find and expel you, etc.
Blame the employer, and the agencies that don't do their jobs (whining for more resources).
If owners, managers, officers and directors faced prison and stiff fines, the problem would be almost solved.
The other necessary part is for agencies to find the illegal employment situation, and cite the company.
I go to my local Bank of America branch and I am one of the few who speak english. The branch is full of people opening accounts and doing transactions who have ab extemely limited knowledge of the language or proper id.
I can. They are committing a felony by illegally crossing our border. While I agree generally that the majority are simply trying to escape the corruption in their home country, and coming here to work and provide a better life for their families (what many of our ancestors did as well), the simple act of swimming the Rio Grande makes them criminal - regardless of their underlying motivation.
The corrupt Mexican government is actively encouraging these felonies; their citizens send home billions of dollars every year, and are not around to forment revolution.
Well, it's at our expense. Sorry, but my neck of the woods has become infested with them and I'm sick of it.
Protect our borders and coastlines from all foreign invaders!

I believe we should give amnesty to these poor CRIMINAL INVADERS.
This should be a 2 week amnesty to get the heck out of our Country.
The ones who ignore this amnesty should be buried in a tent city jail and fined $10,000 or buried elsewhere.
All aiders and abettors of these CRIMINAL INVADERS should get 1 year in a tent city jail and a $10,000 fine for each CRIMINAL aided.
Those in government should be the first ones charged.
Truth Seeker, I do believe you've found some. Is there not some website that lists the license plate numbers of the reprobates who keep hiring the illegals? My last computer had all this stuff on it before the hard drive fried.
The latest figure I've heard about how much illegals cost us here in illegal alien heaven California is 10 BILLION EVERY YEAR. No wonder our state is going broke.
wow, law enforcing does have its advantages, maybe those jobs might actually be made available to citizens?
