    Migrant Hotel Proposed For Stockton

    http://www.thekcrachannel.com/news/4557527/detail.html

    Project Would Cost $2.5 Million

    STOCKTON, Calif. -- Because farm workers make up many of the homeless in San Joaquin County, there's a new proposal to build a hotel to house the migrant workers. But the proposed downtown Stockton location is stirring up some controversy.

    Migrant Workers

    A recent survey showed that San Joaquin County has 500 homeless people, 300 of which are farm workers who sleep -- among other places -- under bridges and freeways. And according to officials, about half the people who bed down at the Stockton Homeless Shelter at night work in the fields during the day.

    Proponents of the migrant hotel idea say it would help the shelter find more room.

    "We will sometimes have 200-plus (people) in a building that is meant for 150," said Stockton Homeless Shelter spokesman John Reynolds. "We sometimes have a drop-in center with a mat on a floor. But I tell you, a mat on the floor is not the same as having a comfortable bed."

    The $2.5 million hotel would be just south of Worknet, which is building a new facility on Lincoln and Washington streets. That proximity worries some.

    "One of our concerns is location, not discounting the fact that there is a need for a facility like this in our community," said Stockton Mayor Ed Chavez. "We have some other significant projects in the pipeline for that area as well."

    But the hotel is also only a block from St. Mary's dining room, which provides meals to the poor and other services.

    "Health care, they can receive dental care, use our shower and clothing facility to receive clean clothing," said St. Mary's spokesman Edward Figueroa.

    The San Joaquin Housing Authority, which plans to build the hotel, has most of the funds but is asking the city and county to help with about $500,000 in costs.

    The Housing Authority has conditional approval from Caltrans to build on the site, pending an environmental impact report and zoning approval. It hopes to build the hotel within a year's time.

    This idea has possiblities. All we need are a few ICE agents to be the front desk clerks. Keep the buses warmed up........

    Oh sure....use some public funding to house them.

    What an original idea?

    I'm getting sick and tired of tired ideas.

    Try this really "original idea":

    Hire some Americans to work in the fields who already have a house, dummies. Then reduce your taxes by the $2,500,000 you were going to spend on the hotel for illegals, dummies.

    Stop being Dummies.

    Maybe we should write a book like you see at Barnes & Noble. The book for "Dummies".

    We could name ours:

    "The Book For Immigration Dummies"

    We could give them instruction, bar charts, computations, quizzes.

    It would be our very own "Rethink School" for Immigration Idiots!!

    Our Preface Could be:

    The first thing you have to learn about immigration is that when the Toilet Bowl gets full of Third World Turds, FLUSH!! Otherwise, your Bowl will get stopped up, over-flow, and make a Big Mess you would have been Wise to Avoid in the First Place.

    The second thing you must learn about immigration is that cleaning up the Big Mess of excess immigration, more workers than jobs, more people that society can sustain.....you've over-bloated your population to the point where when someone wins, someone loses.

    Now, the potential for a WIN-WIN in Society is forever lost, harmony amongst the masses disappears, and civil conflicts arise.

    You need to send this to President Bush, maybe it will all finally sound logical to him.
