Judge Bans Enforcement Of N.Y. Day Laborer Law

A federal judge is preventing a New York town from enforcing its “unconstitutional” law prohibiting illegal immigrant day laborers from seeking work on public property and people from hiring them.

Oyster Bay, a Long Island town of about 300,000 residents, passed the public safety measure last fall because day laborers—and those who hire them—were creating dangerous traffic situations in the municipality’s main roads. The ordinance prohibits pedestrians from soliciting employment and bars drivers from stopping to hire workers.

This week a group of day laborers filed a lawsuit claiming that the town enacted a law with a “discriminatory community animus” against Latinos. The measure was passed to prevent Latino day laborers from soliciting work in Oyster Bay so as to drive them out of their communities and out of the sight of residents who wish they were not there, according to the complaint filed for the illegal aliens by a civil rights group.

Town officials say the traffic problem has been brewing for years and they had no choice but to take action because the federal government “has turned its back on immigration enforcement.” Day laborers and those who try to hire them are warned about the law before being fined $250 for each subsequent offense.

You Tokyo rose types are out in force today.

Do us a favor and flee America before its too late.

Go ahead and keep your head buried in the sand, old uncle Obama will provide you with Unicorn's spraying skittles out their rear.

I left America for 3 years to serve my country as a soldier in the U.S. Army, and I will never leave it again. Open your eyes to reality and prepare for what is ahead, or get your candy ass out of the way for men who will put their lives on the line to insure you still have the opportunity to vote.

.........sigh.......

You are a coward.

[Pox]

LOL!

[cripplecreek]

Well you’re the mewling quivering little sack who encourages people to give up.

Even on public property when you set about filming a federal judge you will get into some really serious trouble with several federal laws that protect them. So don’t even think about it. Just make sure the illegals find his courtroom.

Thanks for pointing that out, I wasn't aware.

Do those same laws apply to the press, in addition to the general public? Considering the extent to which the press camps out on someone's front lawn, it's amazing to me that such a law would pass muster with the equal protections clause of the 14th Amendment.

For years the day laborers have successfully obtained temporary jobs by standing on local street corners and soliciting work from homeowners, contractors and other employers who pick them up and take them to job sites

Yet, for years, ICE can't seem to be able to find them. I say pull up with a truck, load them up for "jobs", then surprise them with deportation. When a few hundred disappear, the rest will get the idea and leave.

Banning day laborers from seeking work in public places does seem problematic on free assembly grounds. If the real purpose is to prevent illegal immigrants from seeking work, the real solution is to enforce our immigration laws.

Who said anything about giving up? Perhaps my point about your vote meaning very little to nothing at this point in American history wasn't clear?

We have a federal government that has decided to look the other way when it comes to our Constitution, haven't you noticed that? If you believe you will remain a “free” man in the near future by way of the ballot box I think you are deluding yourself, but that's simply my opinion. I'll continue to vote but recent history concerning the federal government and trends in the voting populace lead me to believe that the voting booth will not remain a viable method to keep our Constitutional Republic free and whole.

Everybody head for the judge’s house with signs reading;

“WILL WORK FOR VOTES”

Camp out, lounge chairs, lay down on the lawn.

Yell at al the women driving by.

Urinate on his bushes.

[Wolfie]

Warrantless searches, warrantless wiretaps, assassination of citizens, arrests and imprisonment without charges, without counsel, withou trial...all to the applause of the majority of Americans. There is no “rule of law”.

[HiJinx]

Ping!

[rmlew]

Actually, it is Anarcho tyranny

[rmlew]

Oyster Bay is a pretty ritzy town. I wonder where the judge lives.
Don't know. Someone should find out and start a day labor hiring center right outside it.

Until the krytocrats and international elite pay for the damage they cause, they will flaunt the law and constitution in imposing anarcho-tyranny on us.
