Suggestions for local day workers prove interesting

Yes Alvin they do have a right to be there as ruled by federal judges.  Whether we like it or not they have rights.  They are protected by the constitution under the equal protection clause.  Hookers?  Give me a break.  Prostitution is against the law.  Soliciting for work in public is not regardless of who you are.  Do you even realize how ridiculous and ignorant you sound?  We can arrest prostitutes for soliciting for sex for money under VA Code 18.2-346.  We can’t arrest day laborers for soliciting for work.  In New York, New Jersey and California they tried were stopped.  Federal judges ruled against local governments and it cost the taxpayers.  It’s was against the law for police to ticket them because it was a violation of their civil rights and covered under the first amendment.  Soliciting for work in public is also considered “lawful” purpose.  Loitering is unconstitutional as ruled so by the Supreme Court in Chicago vs. Morales.  We can’t rise above what the federal courts rule.  We cannot rise above the constitution.  It’s not hiding them.  We must put them in a safe place until the federal government does something.  Steve Jenkins wanted them moved.  Steve Jenkins made it unsafe.  A typical Steve Jenkins never uses his head and thinks he and his followers are the majority.  He can’t even comprehend or look up the laws.  He can wish and dream all he wants about being the majority.  Your comments are only immature and offer no suggestions.

Alvin’s ignorance and bigotry is showing, again. The last time he wrote (12/06/08) he equated day laborers with lawn ornaments. Now, at best he doesn’t understand that loitering is a personal liberty right, that day labor is honest legal work, and that while prostitution is illegal both undoc workers and prostitutes have a right to loiter equal to his own. If they can’t be some place because it is unsafe, then neither can he or anyone else be there and for the same reason, their safety.
