    Jupiter Does What's Right

    South Florida Sun-Sentinel Editorial Board
    Posted April 13 2005

    Every once in a while, politicians do what's right, even though it's not popular.

    For Jupiter Town Council members, it meant rebuffing U.S. Rep. Mark Foley's warnings that they were condoning illegal activity. It meant standing up to homeowners who fear their city is becoming a magnet for undocumented immigrants.

    It meant doing more than turning a blind eye on the day laborer problem that has plagued countless cities, crowding downtown streets with migrant workers looking for a day's pay and employers picking them up for work no one else will do.

    Unlike most communities, Jupiter has taken a courageous, progressive step beyond just moving its day laborers off Center Street to a safer pickup spot. The town is setting up a full-service resource center staffed by a Hispanic advocacy group and dispensing such wide-ranging services as job networking, prenatal counseling and English classes.

    Those who say helping a largely illegal immigrant workforce disrespects the laws of the land fail to see the bigger picture. It's the porous federal immigration policy that's failed America by not doing enough to stop or at least document those who cross the border every day.

    Until the U.S. government reverses that failure, the resultant undocumented labor force -- which is propping up the nation's economy by taking the menial jobs no one else wants -- is here to stay. For the cities stuck with dealing with this unwanted but needed population not to address their needs with humanity and logic only compounds the problem.

    That's just the void Jupiter's resource center seeks to fill. Rather than just hopping into a waiting pickup truck for temporary employment, the workers will get valuable assistance in how to integrate into society in a responsible, productive, healthy, law-abiding fashion. And the town has worked in some sensible measures that help resolve related issues.

    In order to get work, the laborers will have to prove they live in town, a reasonable solution for keeping immigrants from surrounding areas from flooding the center and abusing Jupiter's goodwill. That also means the workers will have to provide an address, allowing the town to track who lives where and prevent house crowding, a common complaint.

    It's a reasonable plan that Lake Worth, too, should consider in confronting its own day laborer dilemma.

    Neighborhood resource centers will not replace a comprehensive, responsible national immigration policy, which the federal government is obligated to provide. But in the interminable interim, cities like Jupiter are wise to offer a solution that makes their community more livable for all its residents.

    I can understand poor execution of Federal policy, but what is the "porous" policy?

    Have no clue. Their head is buried in the sand. Sent this to The Sentinel:"
    You are correct in stating "the porous federal immigration policy" and
    locals must be "doing more than turning a blind eye on the day laborer problem that has plagued countless cities." In fact, you are suggesting something that is hardly better. What would "be right" would be to assist in the deportation process. America must be unattractive except to citizens and those aliens here LEGALLY.

    I wonder what would happen if the word got out that those "full-service resource center's" were a sting operation staffed by La Migra . . .
