Los Angeles mandates safe corners for prosititutes

LOS ANGELES:

Los Angeles would become one of the first major cities in the nation to require big liquor stores located near corners to create shelters for prostitutes under a recently drafted city ordinance that takes aim at regulating the controversial issue.

The move comes as city leaders seek to aid a growing number of prostitutes who gather at such stores to solicit customers and to quell rising community concern about loitering, security and other effects on neighborhoods.

"This multimillion-dollar business ignores the fact that these problems are created by the stores," said City Councilman Bernard Parks, who has proposed the ordinance.

Of course what I've posted above from the LA Daily News has been slightly altered. Instead of prostitutes, what Los Angeles has done is to pass an ordinance to require stores like Home Depot to build shelters for ILLEGAL ALIENS soliciting day labor.

"It's an incredible issue for urban California," said Fernando Guerra, a lobbyist for Home Depot and professor who heads Loyola Marymount University's Center for the Study of Los Angeles.

Guerra, who said he was speaking for himself and not Home Depot, said that designated shelters might drive some day laborers away because of factors like competition for jobs. That could cause other problems, he said, which could require police enforcement and lead to legal issues.

"I'm not against day labor sites, because they actually offer amenities and some assistance for day laborers," Guerra said. "The question becomes, how do we make them work, and this ordinance does not address that at all. It says, hey, do a day labor site; we've washed our hands."

What's the problem here? Any "day laborer" here ILLEGALLY has no business BEING HERE, let alone SOLICITING TO WORK ILLEGALLY.

Thank you, Los Angeles City Council for yet another way to erase the southern border and show your contempt for the AMERICAN citizens who elect you.

Prostitutes offer better value than you and don't pretend what they do is legal.
