And the citizens believed it?!
SNORT.
Ie- THAT NOTHING CHANGES.
Question.
My local HD has 200 illegals out in front of it every day.
What would happen to HD if someone is accosted or worse outside of their store??
Seems they have tremendous liability. No? Do we have any freeper lawyers?
Caveat emptor.
But when the council unanimously awarded management of the center to Catholic Charities of Los Angeles on Jan. 10, the council elected to put the entire fee toward the center's operations costs, Marisa Garcia, an analyst for the Parks, Recreation and Community Service Department said at the meeting.
Easy, pull the money from Catholic Charities and let em run it if they can......on charity!
What a novel idea.
Can't some enterprising lawyer file a class action suit seeking an injunction and damages because they are actively aiding and abetting illegal activities?
Or how about the use of RICO that the SCOTUS is about to rule on....
Here is a wacko idea - HOW ABOUT SENDING THE BILL TO THE ILLEGALS VIA THEIR ILLEGAL LABOR LOUNGE?????!!! Why not let the illegals pay for some public services for one? And unless Burbank has a sanctuary policy (localized amnesty) then they should just arrest the illegals and turn them over to the INS and SHAZAM!! the need for new law enforcement disappears!

These people do NOT represent "cheap labor". Although
they may be depressing market wages, their indirect
costs are a huge burden that everyone pays for: crime,
health care, identity theft, insurance rates, etc.
Home Depot is probably safe from any liability (say, for negligence) if the people doing the hiring are "independent contractors" (IC). A building contractor is a classic IC: if they use their own tools, set their own hours, etc.
Under agency law, HD would be liable only for the actions of their employees during the course of their employment.
Contractors who say they are "licensed and insured" sometimes have only workmans comp insurance, if that. And they don't have to withhold any SS, FICA or other taxes.
I've been urging that RICO be used against employers of illegals for weeks.
Well I guess this is how we make the point. We protest to the point it gets so expensive to defend the undefendable position of allowing a site to be used to foster illegal labor they are forced to end that practice.
Noone should be paying those costs because it shouldn't be there for illegal aliens anyway. Here is a thought, eliminate the center for illegals and the cost is a non issue.
For construction companies who hire illegal immigrants

hahahahahahahahahahahaahahaha!
For that to have any relevance, you'd need to have a governement interested in enforcing the law against illegals. Fat chance with Bush as President.
The advantage of filing a private RICO lawsuit is unlike the DHS/ICE enforcement it is not influenced by political factors. Private RICO lawsuits actually force the government to get tough on employers who hire illegal immigrants.

I no longer shop at Home De'pot.
I hope all future protests are held on holidays...that will ramp up their overtime costs three times quicker.
