I thought they did close it down. I live nearby too, perhaps I've missed something. I will try to make it.

Day Labor Protest PICS!!
Great turn out! At least 50 patriots showed up from saveourstate, f.i.r.e, Jim Gilchrist's Minuteman Project, and SDMM. Traffic was backed up for miles on both sides. 80% positve reactions from cars passing (which proves most people want this Labor site removed FOR GOOD!) Very low turnout for the other side. A few misguided kids holding "no one is illegal" and the usual KKK bullcrap. Great Job to all who showed up!
Oh yeah, one odd thing about this rally... There were 2 people from the Dept. of Justice that said they were there to observe the rally. Interesting that they chose to stand on the Day Labor Site side of the street isn't it?

Protesters target Laguna day labor site
Immigration protest slowed traffic along Laguna Canyon Road Saturday evening.
By CHRISTA WOODALL
THE ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER
With shouts of "God Bless America" and "USA! USA!" about 40 anti-illegal immigration activists lined Laguna Canyon Road Saturday evening to protest against Laguna Beach and Caltrans.
In the protest's crosshairs was the day labor center, where workers can solicit temporary employment regardless of immigration status. Protestors argued that the city of Laguna Beach used taxpayer money to fund and support an illegal day labor site, said protest organizer Eileen Garcia. The protest also railed against the California Department of Transportation for allowing the day labor site to operate on California state land.
"Legal is OK; illegal is not," said demonstrator Vaughn Becht of Westminster. "If they [immigrants]are here legally, then I'd welcome them with open arms."
The protestors came from anti-illegal immigration groups from across Southern California, including FIRE Coalition (for Federal Immigration Reform and Enforcement), Latino Americans for Immigration Reform, San Diego Minutemen, Campo Minutemen, Antelope Valley Minutemen, Save Our State, Citizens Alliance for a Secure America (CASA), and Minutemen Support Group.
An additional eight protestors from the California Coalition for Immigration Reform demonstrated at Main Beach, Garcia said.
About 27 counter-protestors, including day laborers and Laguna Beach High School students, also gathered at the day labor site.
Homer Gomez from Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, responded to anti-illegal remarks from the protestors.
"I come here for work every day," Gomez said as the evening wound down. "I don't come here for problems. I have been here for work since 5:30 in the morning."
As the rally wrapped up, protestors chanted "USA! USA!" as the police stopped traffic and escorted us to the parking side of the highway, Garcia said.
In response, the counter-protestors pointed at the activists, chanting "KKK! KKK!"
Sgt. Bob Rahaeuser, traffic sergeant with the Laguna Beach Police Department said the protest tied up traffic on Laguna Canyon Road for two hours Saturday night as drivers slowed to view protest signs.
"Other than hurling insults, there were no acts of disobedience," Rahaeuser said.
