Thread: Illegal Alien Harboring Ordinance

I am printing this out and bringing this to my Home Depot.....and giving it directly to a manager....My store will not let them in their parking lot....They wait across the street....maybe this warning will go "Up the Line" to upper management and this can be stopped....

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

Not to mention less expensive housing for their employers.

This is the letter I sent to Home Depot yesterday and below is their response. Who knows if it is a canned response, as I am sure they are hearing a lot about this from American citizens who shop there.


I shop in your stores continually here in North Carolina, and
luckily have not yet been accosted by any day laborers. This ordinance
that LA has introduced and passed about the day-laborer sites, plus
accusing your company for attracting them in the first place because of
the products you sell is the most ludicrous thing I have heard in my
life; and this from a governmental body!

[quote]Dear K,

Thank you for contacting The Home Depot Customer Care.

Thank you for contacting The Home Depot and sharing your thoughts
regarding day laborers. We sincerely appreciate hearing from all of our
customers.

The Home Depot supports legal immigration to the United States and does
not support illegal immigration. The existence of day laborers is a
complex social issue beyond The Home Depot?s control. To provide our
customers with a safe and convenient shopping experience, we prohibit
solicitation on our store property by any group or individual.

To address these and other concerns related to day laborers on our
property, Home Depot diligently works with civic groups, local
governments, government agencies, law enforcement and other businesses
to determine tangible solutions to this social issue. Home Depot's
principal concern on this issue is safety for all persons.

Some local governments believe that The Home Depot can address this
issue alone and are mandating various accommodations for day laborers.
This approach is not sustainable. Only when local governments, community
groups, non-profits, law enforcement and businesses work together in
partnership can solutions be found.

Thank you again for sharing your thoughts.

We look forward to your continued patronage and assisting you with all
of your home improvement needs.

Sincerely,

Sanket
Customer Care
