While the weather may not have been as cold as it was for the opening day of Herndon's Official Workers' Center, the number of protesters in front of the site early Saturday, Jan. 7, seemed about the same.
Starting at 7 a.m., a number of protesters against the creation of the regulated hiring center began to fill the sidewalk along Sterling Road. As day workers came from the Herndon Parkway toward the site, protesters held anti-illegal immigration signs, American flags, cameras and video recorders â€â€

There's been recent news of day labor centers, usually at the Home Depots. We live in interesting times.

Bush Stops at Home Depot as Reward to Generous GOP Donor

President Bush made two stops in Maryland on Friday. First came a big-ticket fundraiser in Baltimore. Then he delivered a speech on the economy to workers at a Home Depot in nearby Halethorpe.

Bush's appearance at the home improvement store baffled locals. On Wednesday, The Sun in Baltimore headlined a story on the upcoming visit to the town in southwest Baltimore County. Titled "A Presidential Mystery."

Research by Public Citizen suggests the president's visit is a way to reward the nation's second-largest retailer for its generosity to the Bush campaign and the Republican Party. Home Depot employees and their families have given $1.5 million to the GOP since 1999. During that time, no candidate has benefited from Home Depot's largesse more than Bush.
