Santa Ana, CA (AP) -- Day laborers reached a tentative settlement with the Orange County Sheriff's Department in an unusual harassment lawsuit that saw workers take their case to federal court, an attorney said.

speech = now = work?

Half of every graduating class, graduates at the bottom.

Private industry won't take them so the end up in government. Now they are negotiating deals of massive ramifications.

I may be uninformed, but do day laborers have a right to hang out looking for work? Are there local laws which regulate that sort of thing?

I think it might be a fine line between being a day laborer looking for work vs. loitering. But, whatever, they got their day in court.

When it comes to illegal aliens, I doubt that any of our LEOs, and particularly our politicians (other than Rep. John Campbell and a few others), have the guts to publicly oppose the day laborer (aka illegal aliens) blight...

Most don't even have the right to be in the country.
