Laborers sue Calif. city over ban on seeking work

[Rim05]

"It is a rogue city in terms of protecting civil rights," said Pablo Alvarado, executive director of the National Day Laborer Organizing Network, which is also representing the workers.

On Tuesday, two dozen workers and their supporters marched in Costa Mesa to voice their opposition to the ordinance.

"They don't want us to be on the corner and we just want to work to sustain our families, and ourselves," said Jose Anaya, a Mexican immigrant who has sought work as a day laborer in Costa Mesa for the last three years.

Illegaly come to my country and then complain because we have laws to prevent them from doing something they want to do. March if they don't get their way? Bet this time they will have legals just in case the law will finally do something. You bet we do not want you standing on corners or clogging the front of stores. JUST GO HOME.
