Day laborers wait on Tennyson Bouleavard in Hayward, Calif., on Wednesday, Aug. 20, 2008. Tennyson Boulevard is a popular hang-out for day laborers, and near a school, which has some residents concerned.

They have their priorities. Sanctuary for the illegals and terror for the children.

Send an I.C.E. van down the street. Will work better than a police patrol.

While some were quick to put the blame on day laborers for creating an unsafe environment, others suggested working with them to help put an end to the problem. ...About 500 day laborers have registered with the center, Hernandez said.

Send the registration list to I.C.E. with a note, "Suggesting 500 agents and 10 empty buses put an end to the problem."

“working with them”? The same kind of talks I assume BHO wants to have with dictators...

Harassing/molesting girls who are THIRTEEN isn’t a language barrier or cultural difference or some other misunderstanding that can be taken care of with some PC workshop.

Guess we’ll just have to wait until someone’s little girl disappears into a van before real action is taken (too late).

How about the fathers get out there and put a stop to it.

we are going to do a little education and let them know what is appropriate and inappropriate behavior, he said.

Does that mean that they are going to "educate" the girls that it is racist, ageist and perhaps classist for them to feel threatened if illegal laborers stalk them? These are progressive officials in California, after all, and the progressives have made it clear that criminal behavior is not only tolerated, it is welcomed. For a second I thought they might be promising to "educate" the illegal aliens as to what type of behavior is expected of them and then I laughed at myself for having such an old-fashioned and naive idea.

I should have highlighted the entire quote, but your statement isn’t really all that unlikely, unfortunately.

>Gabriel Hernandez, executive director for the Hayward Day Labor Center, also on Tennyson Road and just a few blocks away from Cesar Chavez, said he will begin to notify workers of the concerns raised by parents and students. About 500 day laborers have registered with the center, Hernandez said.

“Internally, we are going to do a little education and let them know what is appropriate and inappropriate behavior,” he said.<

I would agree better safe than sorry, but I have trouble with your five year old nieces describing the offender looking a bit like Obama... are they that tuned into politics?

Actually, I was half-joking because I am fed up with how the leftists just demand that we accept any anti-social behavior from politically-protected groups. The school should provide armed guards or very visible police escourts for the children but money is tight and has been spent on things other than public safety.

Actually, I know public school teachers who have told me horror stories about very young children caught trying to sexually act out things. I don't know how to delicately put this - children too young to actually do some things or know what they are doing but they are mimmicking behavior they have seen adults do. Either the children have been abused themselves and they are acting out or they are immitating mommy and her latest boyfriend or customer. The system cannot do much to correct the children or protect them from abuse - it is not politically correct to investigate too much where poor children from a minority demographic are concerned. There are powerful political interests intent on keeping such children in unfit homes, although homes is the wrong word.

How sad that the town I grew up has come to this low now. I was there in the Tennyson Area just a few weeks ago, but I am always alert of my surrounding.

This is not the first time I heard of day laborers harrassing young females. Here in Concord, people have complained of day laborers also doing the same thing toward young girls walking home from school.

Is this the “Family Value” that Bush talked about?
