I feel that to make this article more relevant you should have pointed out a couple of things. First, Arlington is liberal bastion of do-gooders who do not have a problem with illegal aliens tramping their streets in general. Second, and best, is that WETA is public service television. They should do a documentary on their own reaction to these scruffy day laborers creating a hostile environment for their employees. It would be delicious.

Putting the day-laborer building in the planned location will also inconvenience high-profile guests who arrive to be interviewed on the ``NewsHour," public broadcasting's signature news program that is produced from WETA's studios in Shirlington, Rockefeller said. This is a great story and I hope it has legs. From time to time I drive through Shirlington as a cut-through to Glebe Rd. and see the day-laborers congregating near the hot dog stand. It would be fun to see Jim Lehrer and the other hosts of The News Hour take a stand on the proposed building. Arlington County libs want to be the keepers of the welfare state but don't want to be reminded of them on a daily basis. What a bunch of hypocrites.

30 workers show up? And we have to have a government solution?
Heck, around here, there are Minute Marts that have that many illegals show up in the morning. That is the day laborer gathering place, no governmental expenditures involved.

The Arlington County Board's decision to build a $100,000 pavilion to house day laborers .... After more than three hours of public comment and debate, County Board members voted 4-1 to spend up to $140,000 to create the new facility....
Dang that 40% budget increase didn't seem to take very long. What if this article had been a full blown sunday filler.....?
< prescience>
Commissioner Blitzen defended the $250,000 dollar structure saying that it was only fair...
Critics blasted the proposed $500,000 project siting rapidly escalating costs, but defenders maintained that it would be a $1.2 million well spent to aid those less fortunate than the taxpayers.

``This is not going to be a good solution," Rockefeller said. ``It would absolutely complicate our lives." Sharon "Mrs. Sen. John D." Rockefeller IV, like most liberals, considers the great unwashed as complications, not people.
