What do U think illegal day Laborers say ban on seeking work on the street violates their civil rights?

Q: The lawsuit filed against Costa Mesa in U.S. District Court comes after police dressed in plainclothes posed as employers in September and arrested a dozen workers, sparking the ire of immigrant rights groups.It's the latest in a series of lawsuits filed by day labor advocates against California cities that limit workers' right to solicit employment on street corners. Advocates said laborers have a constitutional right to free speech and cities can't bar them from seeking employment and simultaneously let activists wave signs against the Iraq war. "Our core constitutional principles of equality and freedom demand that a day laborer enjoy the same right to free expression as a political activist or a member of a charitable group," Belinda Escobosa Helzer, a staff attorney for the American Civil Liberties Union of Southern California, told reporters at a press conference Tuesday.Costa Mesa's city attorney did not immediately return messages seeking comment.The city located 35 miles southeast of Los Angeles passed the ordinance banning work solicitation in 2005. Costa Mesa also shut down a labor center where workers previously congregated and stepped up immigration enforcement by partnering with federal agents.It is the eighth federal lawsuit filed in California by the ACLU and Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund over such ordinances in the last 12 years, Escobosa Helzer said. The previous lawsuits have settled or been won by workers, she said. One was appealed and is pending a ruling by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.The lawsuit comes as day labor advocates said they have seen more American citizens lining up at labor centers around the country because of the recession. Workers in Costa Mesa said they had yet to see Americans join them, but labor centers elsewhere in Southern California have."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. http://www.mercedsunstar.com/Nation/story/1295957.htmlWhy are these places given illegals full instant US citizenship rights but without requring them to be actual citizens with legal documents stating by law they are allowed to work here legal/illegal does it matter anymore to them ? By the way do our tax dollars pay these places ?Evelyn j.. What the UN states is what they think. We are not at this point allowing the UN to run this country...

A: Good post. As much as I skeeve them, most anti-war protesters are American citizens and have rights afforded them by our constitution.These illegals are not citizens, and therefore are not entitled to the same rights as citizens.I don't mean that they shouldn't be afforded certain rights, as would any visitor to our nation, but being non-citizens they are, by law, barred from seeking employment. Just as someone from Britain here on vacation would be barred from working.It has nothing to do with their being hispanic illegals; it does however have something to do with non-resident aliens working here in the first place.No special rights for illegals!
