Editorial: City official busted for hiring workers
Excessive crackdowns on illegal immigrant labor will only push the problem elsewhere and lead to more needless arrests.
An Orange County Register editorial

When dealing with the issue of illegal immigration, it's hard to find any areas of common ground or even a little nuance. A large segment of the population in this county is downright angry about the problem, and local politicians are rushing to offer measures that deal with the angst – even though council members and even state legislators can't do much about what remains primarily a federal issue. We see mostly efforts that chip at the problem around the edges.
For instance, the cities of Mission Viejo and Lake Forest have passed laws that allow sheriff's deputies to issue citations or arrest those who trespass on private property and refuse to leave. The laws target day laborers who hang around strip malls or along the roads, and at the people who hire them. Such laws seem perfectly reasonable. Property owners should be able to shoo away people who trespass and cause trash and safety problems. But such laws also have unforeseen side effects.
Placentia's Public Works Director Gerry Hubble has been getting quite a bit of criticism since it was reported that on Sept. 15 he stopped his truck in a retail parking lot in Lake Forest and tried to hire two workers to help him move some railroad ties. As the Register reported, the security guard hired by the property owner called deputies, who arrested Mr. Hubble and the two men he wanted to hire. Mr. Hubble is being charged for trespassing and could face a six-month sentence or a $1,000 fine.
An assortment of anti-illegal-immigration activists associated with the Minuteman Project showed up at a recent Placentia City Council meeting and peppered Mr. Hubble with insults, calling him a "criminal," "pathetic" and a "piss-poor American," according to the Register article. Another protester held a sign, and Mr. Hubble has been the subject of scorn on Web sites.
He argues that he was not trespassing, because he intended to also buy some water in a nearby store. The law applies to those who trespass and refuse to leave, and we see no indication that Mr. Hubbell refused to leave the premises. We wonder the sense of prosecuting this as a crime. Why not a mere citation? Certainly, property owners need a means to remove people from their property – but this is a bit of an overreach.

What's needed is a place where people can legitimately buy and sell labor – which is a legitimate and noble purpose, regardless of the nation's illogical immigration laws. Excessive crackdowns will only push the problem elsewhere and lead to more needless arrests.

Yeahhh, and it's called the UNEMPLOYMENT OFFICE!!! But illegal aliens exploiters don't want to do it the LEGAL way, they looking for the CHEAP, SLAVERY way!

DEPORT illegal aliens, no more exploiting them... see? It's not that hard to figure.

NO! What needs to happen is those who are here illegally need to go home and those employers employing them need to be SEVERELY punished for exploiting them and breaking the law and unfair competitive practice.

It is very simple, cut and dry - not very complicated!

Gee lets bring back slavery while we are at it, that was the buying and selling of labor also. These editors need to be deported to Liberia, that might change their minds about unlimited "buying and selling" of labor.

This is absolutely appalling.

If the lack of an arrest results in the illegal alien still being here then the tresspass arrest is neccessary.


A $1000 fine for hiring a day labor is reasonable.

This just another example of why I no longer suscribe to the OC Register, as they do not get any more pro-illegal than this rag. I commited on this sometime ago when I was looking for newspapers that were not so obviously biased in favor of the illegal invader. The Register does not even try to hide their affections for their beloved illegals.

They have a columnist named Yvette Cabrera who openly advocates on behalf of the illegal invader through her columns in the OC Register. Just goggle her name and you can judge for yourself what her agenda might be.

Bowman suggested a Santa Barbara Paper that is somewhat more objective. Do you have the name of that paper again Bowman?

Good for you!! You need to subscribe to the Santa Barbara News Press. I think you can subscribe to their online edition. You will be amazed at the difference.
