The people who hire day laborers should have to deal with them. Lets set up hiring sites in Woodbury (across from News 12), East Hills, Roslyn Village,etc and see how fast they change their tune on how great these guys are...

Well, I do alot of traveling as a home inspector and 2 things have stuck in my mind lately:
Freeport on Sunrise Hwy, there are 20+ day laborers (I assume) standing by Home Depot every day, all day......I past this area 3x at different times this past week. I never really seen them there before.
Farmingdale....yesterday. Wow! 4 areas (gas station, near a bus stop, vacant lot and a 7-11) had groups of a min. of 15 to a max. of 80+ laborers hanging out. I was amazed. its one thing to read about it, its another to see it. I wonder if anyone does anything about it? If I lived there, I would not be happy.

Would the hood include either eighth or ninth street behind where the bus comapny is and the rairlroad tracks are? Ther is going to be a group home there and this gringo is concerned for his safety!!
There is going to be a group home put down on 9th street rightr behind where the bus company and I think there used to be a diner down near where the train tracks are. is that a really bad area to move to?
