No charges for day laborers arrested outside Rowland Heights Ho...

Day laborers look for work at the Industry Home Depot on Gale Avenue in May. Prosecutors have declined to file charges against 27 day laborers who were arrested for allegedly loitering outside a home improvement store in May.

interesting... i guess next time they will snap pics...
But didnt I read somewhere that some judge had ruled in another case-- that men/women have a right to look for work?

[MSLSD]

Where is ICE when you need them.

Who the hell hires these illegals anyway?

[HER MAIN MAN]

I've been to that Home Depot and there are times you can't even leave the parking lot without them running up to your car asking for work!
I hate going to Home depot becausr of the problem, so now I go to Lowes Home Improvement just on the other side of the Freeway!
What gets me is Lowes doesn't have that problem with day laborers at any of the stores!

Really.....I guess the business owners have no business so they have time to call the cops on others who are looking for business.....

[Marty]

These business owners lie and say they urinate in public and harass people because they want them out. I've been around there and the laborers go into places with restrooms. They do not urinate outside. These business owners will lose business because of their lies. I for one will not go into their businesses because of that. They are trying to make a living to take care of their families, (not to cause trouble for anyone)

Well cmon, they deserve to gamble, drink, urinate in public, all day long, and at the end of the day, not pay taxes!!! And we wonder why our state is broke. Think about it. They just take take take. What do they give in return?? Looking forward to your answers.

I challenge you to go to any Day Laborer gathering and see who hires these people. It's the White contracters that are showing up to your house to do the work that you hired them to do and they sub-contract to these people. It's the American way of doing business. Wake up Dumbarse!!! By the way here's your 2 cents from your taxes!! Now shut the FUNK up!!!

That is nothing the Commerce store is the worse.....
I stopped going to Home Depot long ago and they will not get another dime out of me until they clean the scum looking for work and violating the posted NO LOITERING sign
Just take pictures I did at the Commerce store and the Home Depot execs were amazed.
Whats really bad is the managers at the Home Depot store dont want to get involved and are just a bunch of corporate **** kissers.
Oh Well bye Home Depot don't miss you AT ALL. The Lowe's store don't attract the scum and my construction company gives Lowe's all my business.
Oh by the way Cheap Labor isn't always cheap I learn that lesson long ago. Lowe's maybe higher price wise but it's a whole lot cheaper than having a home depot donkey make a huge error on a home or job site.

I've frequented both stores as i've lived by both over the past 30 years, Industry definitely has City Of Commerce beat, trust me.

You are absolutely right.

Homeowners do the same, these do it yourselfers don't want to dig that trench for the sprinkler install. They don't want to strip their lawn for their sod install. They don't want to do the drywall work on their remodel. These guys are hired by Americans, not by other illegals.

They do not pay taxes??? Please enroll in school sir. You might learn something. Ignorance is bliss I guess.

So we are going to selectively enforce our laws? When will bank robbery become acceptable and not enforced?

I know you're just sticking up for your "compadres" but dude, seriously? I see these "honest" day laborers harassing people all the time! I take it you're some uber accepting, peacenik liberal progressive? Accepting people no matter how egregious their faults?

I, however, cannot accept that ideology.**** such as these day laborers need a lesson in AMERICAN culture and society. They work under the table, they pay no taxes, they work for pennies and honest citizens can't compete with slave labor. America is a society of LAWS. People can live here as long as they follow the rules. If you don't, you are OUT!

Just some information:

Illegal immigrants pay SALES TAX on every purchase they make.(about 10% in California)!!!

Also, The IRS also has been issuing Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers, or ITINs, for 12 years to foreigners without a Social Security number. Workers who seek the ITINs are in the country illegally, and the IRS reported that there were 2.5 million tax returns filed with an ITIN in 2004.

When you are paid cash for employment you are not paying taxes on that income genius. The only way that is occurring is if people are willingly donating their portion of taxes from this income to their local IRS offices...cold day in hell...

We all know the majority of illegals are NOT doing that! If you are so dead set on claiming that, provide proof of it.

What part of the bill do they pay when they run to the emergency room for a simple cough? How about an unmarried teen that continues to have children despite having birth control available to her? Do you really think they pay ENOUGH taxes to cover the cost of all this? Why are all the hospital and emergency rooms in southern california shutting down? Just a few questions I have.

With bad economy, whites will replace the illegal immigrants looking for work at the local Home depot. That will be our chance to deport then all back to Poland. :o

[kill 2 live]

I am a white boy who was privledged enough to be born in this country. I have a nice job, a good family, and a house. Thanks be to GOD.

I love my family more than anything and if that meant I had to sneak into the USA scrounge for a job that should have been yours, Take food out of your families mouth, I WOULDNT THINK TWICE. In this world it's every man for himself.

Let me reiterate my point exactly. I dont care about rules, regulations, race, or borders. I would waltz up to your life less corpse, take the money out of your wallet, your wedding ring, and even extract that gold tooth out of your mouth with my pocket knife before i would let my family go hungry.

My family was starved out of Ireland by the english over 800 years ago and were still killing those limey bastards. The united states my ancesters arived in was all prodestant and they wanted to starve us out. so we kicked their ****.

who's next

"Last year (2006), 1.4 million people used the special numbers. The last time the government checked, more than half of the people using an individual taxpayer identification number, or ITIN, were illegal immigrants."
http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php...

So approximately a little over 700,000 illegals used this number to file their taxes in 2006. The total number of illegals in the country is as high as 20 million (remember their children born here do not count in these totals). You do the math.
