Los Angeles City Council Approves Illegal Alien Harboring Ordinance
Posted in Illegal Aliens & Immigration Reforms on August 15th, 2008

The Los Angeles City Council unanimously approved an ordinance yesterday that will require new big-box home improvement stores built in the future to provide illegal alien day laborers with shelter, drinking water, bathrooms and trash cans. This ordinance would mandate that all proposed retail outlets fitting the description would receive conditional-use permits requiring them to construct day-labor centers adjacent to their facilities to accommodate the illegal alien laborers routinely attracted to loiter near these business establishments.

Councilman Bernard C. Parks, who first proposed the ordinance four years ago, said that this was just the first phase and that he planned to address existing home improvement stores next. He stated that the businesses needed to be held accountable for their role in attracting day workers.

Los Angeles City Councilman Eric Garcetti stated that “This is an example for the nation.â€
