PLAINFIELD, N.J. –- Dozens of unemployed Central American immigrants who lost their jobs and can't afford to pay rent have moved into caves, reports El Diario/La Prensa. Immigrants have been living in the makeshift homes in Plainfield and North Plainfeld, N.J. for three months, and call their new residence the “Devil’s Cave.” Their decision to move into caves is a testament to the harsh climate of the current economic crisis, which has had a greater impact on the undocumented who have more difficulty accessing government aid after losing their jobs.
“difficult” to get government aid, but not “impossible.” Our job is not done until the latter rules.
Good. Now move some bears in with them.
What a great country we have!
Free Bus Tickets to Mexico.
Um... Where are the caves of Plainfield? I’ve lived in NJ all my life and was unaware of an extensive cave system in NJ. Perhaps Plainfield should change its name to West Tora Bora.
how about a ticket for Obama’s illegal immigrant auntie?
If this is true and the government knows it, why don’t they go in, round them up and send them back across the border?
caves would come in handy for the Sopranos

I was wondering about that, as well. Thanks, I was getting ready to do a search to confirm my suspicions.
I grew up in Scotch Plains, a town that borders Plainfield to the East. There are no caves in the area, or I would have found them as a kid! :0)
Plainfield, by the way, was once a beautiful city! Full of Victorian mansions. The city was destroyed by riots in the '60s. Not sure if it has ever recovered...
Or a private cave at least. Then he will truly have bats in his belfrey.
but we will need all those illegal immigrants for the make-work jobs Robert Reich will create for them
I’m in South Jersey, but I sure don’t recall any caves.
“but we will need all those illegal immigrants for the make-work jobs Robert Reich will create for them”
Yep! Obama’s plan will create 4 million jobs he says....but he wants to amnesty 20 million and create a new ‘guest worker’ program (on top of the ones we have!) for several million more.
We have got to be the dumbest people on earth.
“caves would come in handy for the Sopranos”
Nah. They can dump in the ocean, or their preferred spot, the Pine Barrens. :^)
Is it legal to live in caves?
