L.A. To Force Businesses To Shelter Illegal Workers

With all the budget issues in California, why do politicians seemingly push businesses to Nevada?

Companies that open large home-improvement stores in Los Angeles would have to set aside space for day laborers under an ordinance unanimously approved Tuesday by the City Council’s Planning and Land Use Management Committee.

The proposed ordinance, which must still be approved by the full council, would require new home improvement stores that are 100,000 square feet or larger, or any building or structure where 250,000 square feet or more of warehouse floor area is added, to set aside space for day laborers seeking employment from customers

And for those people just coming in to shop are almost immediately surrounded, if not harassed, by these illegals. But as long as we make it comfortable for them, some people will feel good about it.

The shelters would have to be easily accessible and equipped with drinking water, bathrooms, tables with seating and trash facilities.

Yeah, like they’ll use the trash facilities. Ever been to Lanark Park?

Home-improvement stores would also be required to develop a security plan in consultation with the Los Angeles Police Department.

And these stores will have the privilege of paying for this, or else. I’m sure the illegals will say “thank you.”

Bethany Leal with the Multi-Ethnic Immigrant Worker Organizing Network, which supports the ordinance, called it an example of “immigration integration.”

“By having public and private entities work together to create facilities used primarily by immigrants, individual residents, as well as the whole city, benefit,” Leal said.

Oh, and what is the benefit to the city? You mean to tell me that these home improvement stores will consider this a public service and not pass this unfunded mandate to the public…?

Nevada, here they come.
