News From the Border

Providing the news from a different front but from a war that we must win as well! I recognize the poverty and desperate conditions that many Latinos live in. We, as the USA, have a responsibility to do as much as we can to reach out to aid and assist spiritually with the Gospel and naturally with training, technology and resources. But poverty gives no one the right to break the laws of another sovereign nation.

House OKs day labor controls

The Associated Press

The Arizona House narrowly gave preliminary approval Thursday to a proposal to prohibit people from standing on public streets and sidewalks to offer or solicit day labor work.

The prohibition also would apply to people who offer or solicit day labor work on private property after the property owner asks them to leave.

Day labor has been criticized at the Legislature in recent years.

A 2005 law barred local governments from putting taxpayer money into day labor centers that assist in finding work for illegal immigrants.

Under the latest day labor bill, violators of the proposed prohibition would be guilty of misdemeanor trespassing.
