Stop City Hall funding day-labor racket drawing ICE to Home Depot

A manufactured crisis plays out daily in the parking lots of LA’s Home Depot stores. Day laborer centers, seven city-contracted hubs often nestled on private commercial property, have become battlegrounds.

And, no surprise, the NGOs now want more of your hard-earned dollars.

Nonprofit organizations like CARECEN demand millions in local taxpayer dollars not to help workers find jobs, but to shield illegal aliens from lawful federal enforcement by ICE.

If you hire one of these illegal alien day workers and they fall off of your roof or out of your tree they will sue you for resulting injuries. Your homeowners income will not cover the claim

Simple model, no illegals, no NGO…..

but we have a Law

8 U.S.C. § 1324 is a federal law prohibiting alien smuggling, transporting, and harboring of undocumented immigrants. It criminalizes bringing aliens into the U.S. at unauthorized locations, transporting/concealing them within the U.S., and encouraging illegal entry. Penalties include fines and prison sentences ranging from 5 to 20 years, or life/death if death results

I REFUSE TO SHOP HOME DEPOT FOR ALL THESE REASONS.

WOULD DRIVE MANY MILES TO AVOID.

VERY GLAD I BOLTED SO CALIF IN 1993.

Even simpler…no new immigration, no new illegals.

Notice you never see illegal laborers in front of Lowe’s?

Or Menards for that matter

This is a shame, ‘cause day laborers are not all illegals. All such places, Loew/Menards/HDepot ought to vet such folks — it will draw business to their stores. Just post a bulletin board in the store.

A few years back we needed some yardwork, too much for my old back. Cruised a HDepot and found a 20-something white guy eager to make a few bucks. He was GREAT!
He also noted that the reason we spotted him off to the side of the parking lot was that the guy in charge of all the illegals made it quite clear that if he tried to get work thru his group he’d not be able to work anywhere.
