A D.C. Council member says city officials have settled on two possible sites near a Northeast shopping plaza for a center to help reduce problems created by the crowds of people who gather daily looking for work.

"The training center, quite frankly, has to be where it would reduce the impact of the guys that are coming," said Harry Thomas Jr., Ward 5 Democrat.

Brentwood residents near the plaza are upset and want a solution to the problems, which include some day-laborers drinking on street corners, relieving themselves on walls and sleeping under porches.

No problem with putting up day labor centers.

So long as one has to check with Immigration officials before being allowed entry.

Relieving themselves on walls Americans don't want to!

They just opened a second day labor site in Austin *sanctuary city* TX. (even though the Mayor says otherwise) They have a lotto system for who gets the jobs first.

The pic in the paper didn’t seem to have any Whites, Asians or Blacks only, Hispanics.
