Victory Gathering for Day Labor workers August 30, 2008 Lake Forest, CA

..................................... Settlement: OC laborers can seek jobs from streets The Associated Press 08/27/2008 SANTA ANA, Calif.

A settlement between day laborers and the Orange County sheriff's office calls for authorities to acknowledge workers' rights to seek work while standing on sidewalks, according to attorneys for the laborers. The settlement was reached last week, but attorneys did not release details until Wednesday.

The agreement stems from a federal harassment lawsuit filed last year by about 50 day laborers against the Sheriff's Department, the county and several individuals over a Lake Forest city ordinance that barred workers from soliciting work on street corners. The city later repealed the ordinance and was dropped from the lawsuit. The lawsuit alleged deputies violated workers' right to free speech by telling them they couldn't seek work on a street corner.

In court papers, deputies said they were responding to residents' complaints that workers were littering and trespassing. Under the terms of the agreement, the Sheriff's Department agreed that "people have a right to offer themselves for work," and affirmed the right of contractors to solicit workers as long as no law is violated, said Tessie Borden, an attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union, which represented the workers. Borden said the case "was not just a challenge of an existing ordinance. This goes further, establishing an existing and inviolable right."

According to the agreement, the sheriff's office admitted no wrongdoing and retains authority to enforce laws that prohibit jaywalking, double parking and littering. S. Frank Harrell, an attorney for the deputies, was not immediately available for comment Wednesday night.

How can I make you a sandwich when the wetbacks and day laborers cornered all the jobs as illegal cooks working in all the eateries. If anything, you should be clearing the tables so I can sit down to eat, busboy. By the way, didn't you say you weren't going to converse with me anymore? Damn you're fucking stupid.

Idiot, you've been having a conversation with me for a while now. It's just that your too fucking stupid to realize it. I see the veracity of my words have provoked you to come here and fein rightous indignation when you're the one who's the troll. Look at all the bs I had to check you on in other forums. No doubt you'll reply to me inspite of your protestations because I own you mestizo, just like the Spanairds owned your ancestors.

@brownmachine6969

Actually I think I'm having a conversation with a wetback. I see that east L. A. and southern California are a cesspool of thieving wetbacks. When I watch Cops, the First 48 and other crime based shows, I see plenty of wetbacks being arrested. Yes, the illegal wetbacks do come here and get jobs like drug and human trafficing, conterfeiting US immigration documents, identity theft and picking crops, busboy. Jobs that helped the US to become a superpower.

@shadowmancer122 you stupid shadow queer... you think you're having a conversation with some white racist trash. but you're not asshole!!! you think we dont see the trailer trash white people selling thei bodies like prostitutes for crack, and all the white trash on welfare.. just watch the tv show cops, and jerry springer , those tv shows are nation wide and everyone can see white people are everything you hate ....at least the illegal mexicans come as homeless but all get jobs. so fuck you!!

[shadowmancer122]

@brownmachine6969

The only homeless are your Mexicunt kinfolk illegally crossing the border in to the US to freeload of white taxpayers. Have you forgotten the great quantity of brown unwashed living off wellfare, selling drugs, joining gangs, breeding little wetbacks and dropping out of school? In addition to selling of flowers and fruits, you forgot to include lettuce, tomatoes and avocados, busboy.
