"Judge Bans Enforcement Of N.Y. Day Laborer Law"
This is troubling to me.
Any perceived right of an "illegal" has to be second to the rights of citizens.
Hopefully, a future final ruling will set this right...

JuditialWatch.org recently reported this:
"A federal judge is preventing a New York town from enforcing its 'unconstitutional' law prohibiting illegal immigrant day laborers from seeking work on public property and people from hiring them.
Oyster Bay, a Long Island town of about 300,000 residents, passed the public safety measure last fall because day laborers—and those who hire them—were creating dangerous traffic situations in the municipality’s main roads. The ordinance prohibits pedestrians from soliciting employment and bars drivers from stopping to hire workers.
Town officials say the traffic problem has been brewing for years and they had no choice but to take action because the federal government 'has turned its back on immigration enforcement.' Day laborers and those who try to hire them are warned about the law before being fined $250 for each subsequent offense."
