Because many of these folks are likely illegals. No, I do not have proof. But they stand around, ripe for the picking, and the government does nothing about it.

Then a shelter might be a good pickup point for INS, right? Win/Win.

It would be perfect. But they already have several informal pickup points, such as the ones in Arlington and Herndon, that are well-known to the police. The locals are screaming for relief from the police and the INS, but they turn a blind eye. This has been going on for years. The workers cry racism, and the legal citizens back off. Thanks again, American suckers!

That would be downright heartless.

How dare you suggest that a governmental agency stand in the way of any (illegal) migrant who has chosen to come into this country (illegal) , (method notwithstanding, of course!), (illegal) to find gainful (illegal) employment and income (illegal) with which to provide his (illegal) family a piece of the American dream (illegal) ?!?

You beat me to it Laz, that was my first thought too.
