| When unemployment was down at 4.5% not many | | | | someone is willing to work hard, so be it, as many |
| complained about all the illegal alien "day labor" that | | | | Americans won't; unfortunately, in California now many |
| was standing on the corner. These workers were | | | | cities have unemployment well over 10% and now |
| used by landscaping companies, car washes, and | | | | Americans want those jobs and voters and taxpayers |
| construction companies. Today, authorities that set up | | | | are angry. This has prompted authorities to stop this |
| these day labor locations to get them off the street | | | | problem, one they actually created. Rather than picking |
| corners and into one place, now stand undercover | | | | up the illegal aliens and deporting them, instead they |
| waiting for unsuspecting businesses to pick them up. | | | | watch and wait for construction workers to come in |
| Generally, here is how it works. Hundreds of illegal or | | | | their work trucks. |
| should we use the more politically correct term | | | | Why? Well, many believe it is all about money, as the |
| "undocumented workers" stand in a location approved | | | | authorities can fine the construction companies and |
| by the city. Someone who needs a worker for one | | | | collect revenue. They cannot catch everyone, but |
| day, can pick them up, make a deal and take them to | | | | each day they nab a few in cities across California. So, |
| work. Often home owners that need help will pick | | | | if you are a human resource director for a |
| them up for the day and then drop them back off and | | | | construction company, then you need to know that this |
| pay them cash; this is considered no harm, no foul, | | | | is illegal and that not only are their fines, but you could |
| even if they are illegal aliens. | | | | be an accessory and even go to jail. Please consider |
| Many people have no problem with this and if | | | | this. |
