On Saturday, anti-SOS protestors rallied on short notice to obstruct Save Our State's latest foray against the Laguna Beach Day Labor Center. Neo-Nazis were waiting in the wings.

Save
our State continues to defy the law: earlier this year, the 9th Circuit
Court upheld the right of day laborers to solicit work under the 1st and 14th
amendments in Comite
de Jornaleros de Glendale v. City of Glendale.
LAGUNA
BEACH, SEPTEMBER 25, 2005--At its peak, 40 day laborers were joined by 60 human
rights advocates in opposition to a small group from Save Our State at the Day
Labor Center in Laguna Beach, after only two days of concerted
organizing.. Save Our State managed to muster about twenty people in its
bid to prevent day laborers from soliciting employment at the Center, after four
weeks of effort.
By
scheduling their event for the morning of the international anti-war rally, Save
Our State had hoped for little opposition but were outnumbered five to one by
the jornaleros and dedicated supporters of immigrant rights.
In
what was largely an exchange of taunts across Laguna Canyon Road interspersed
with brief debate and a few chants, an assortment of protestors representing La
Tierra es de Todos, assorted anarchists, the International Socialist
Organization, and committed individuals confronted Save Our State's dwindling
band. One anti-SOS protestor was detained and handcuffed. Whether he
was charged or only detained remains unclear.
Although
many of those who came out against SOS left early for the anti-war march, they
propped trifolded anti-racist signs up in the parking lot and leaned them along
the fence, leaving a clear message that SOS was not welcome in Laguna
Beach. Passing motorists affirmed the message, honking and waving almost
uniformly in favor of the day laborers. The sentiments expressed by
motorists suggest Congressional candidate Jim Gilchrist's anti-migrant platform
has little support from local residents. One anti-SOS at the rally
protestor tore up a Gilchrist for Congress sign in a symbolic rejection.
In
a surprise to protestors, neo-Nazis again appeared in support of Save Our State
in the closing moments of the rally. SOS leader Joe Turner had announced
that he would be "more
than prepared" for a brawl, but the anti-SOS protestors had not
anticipated a return of the neo-Nazi group. On July 30, SOS faced off
against some of the same protestors in a noisy standoff that culminated in SOS
holding U.S. flags amidst Nazi swastikas and Confederate flags. Reports
are that SOS's Chicana spokesperson, Lupe Moreno, left the organization after
that display. At this weekend's event, the neo-Nazis arrived without
fanfare precisely at noon, the final minutes of the permitted rally, as SOS
members were heading to their cars. Whatever the ten or so neo-Nazis'
plans, whether to provoke a brawl or escort SOS out, the Laguna Beach police
intervened, detaining one and ordering the others to leave. The neo-Nazis
raised their arms in Nazi salutes at the protestors as they left.
The
day labor supporters were escorted to their cars by the jornaleros.
On
July 16, a contingent of SOS members handed out flyers opposing the day labor
center at an art fair in the city. One anti-jornalero protestor was
arrested at that event for wielding a knife. SOS may be returning
for a third try at dismantling Baldwin Park's Danzas Indigenas monument,
probably in October.
