Our homegrown Minutemen types (the \r\n ones with the neo-Nazi sidekicks) will be trying to shut down the Day \r\n Labor Center in Glendale<\/span> \r\n this Saturday, December 10, \r\n 7:30-11:00 a.m.<\/span> They want to stop people from finding work at \r\n the San Fernando Road Temporary Skill Workers Day Labor Center, 5040 San Fernando Rd.<\/span>, sponsored \r\n by Catholic Charities.

It's International Human Rights \r\n Day.

This is the \r\n showdown. Save Our State canceled their last protest in San \r\n Bernardino for lack of interest. Their numbers are dwindling, but \r\n the diehards remain.

Bring \r\n big signs, noisemakers, and loud voices, and protest this assault on the \r\n fundamental right to work and to live. No human is \r\n illegal!<\/p>\r\n

Plus, no American is going to do hard work for the amount I can pay, not even the homeless people that say "Will work for food" believe me I've tried. What SOS proposes does not make common sense. And you can not apply this to companies because long term workers need legal documents to be hired because businesses actually do fill out the bureaucratic paperwork needed for workers and worker benefits. The only place where undocumented workers are "taking over" is in low skill, high turnover, temporary jobs which is definitly not my first choice for work as an American.
