That place is a haven for hippies. It's a Co-op.... Lefties who would live on a commune types. Those green, veggie, vegan types who look like they need to wash. Kumbaya let's feed the "community", my liberal arts based education taught me how to start a non-profit and live tax free. A major part of what's wrong with this country.

What do you mean the story doesn't quote? Staff Volunteer quoted:

Quote:
Our Community Place volunteer Sigi Chabrier helps illegal aliens find jobs.

Chabrier told WSHV: “These people are here living in fear that they're going to get deported. They're gonna lose their home, their jobs or somehow not get the piece of the American dream that they come here for.”

“I feel so safe now, like to say ‘Hey, I can send you here, whether you're documented or not or you have a criminal record or not. You can go here and people are going to give you a chance, like they might hire you, they'll at least take you under consideration,’” Chabrier added.

Who, other than illegal aliens, would fear deportation? Even a green card holder has no reason to fear deportation unless they've committed a deportable offense. In that case, should they even be considered for employment?

Thats the trouble with the right wing.
Know what you are talking about before spouting nonsense! I don't know of one anti-illegal immigration person that doesn't hold the employers accountable and in fact wants e-verify mandated to stop them from hiring illegal aliens. We also advocate for those caught hiring illegals aliens to have stiff fines, losing their businesses and even prison time. I am so sick of the lies about the so-called "right wing". The majority of us who are "right wing" desire these employers and the illegals themselves to pay for their lawbreaking. The "left wing" however only wants the employers punished but not the illegals. Why is that?

No it does not. Immigration status is a personal and private matter and we the real citizens of the USA will no longer tolerate the racism surrounding this issue. If you are the sort of racist individual that is concerned with the immigration status of others, please do us, the great people of the USA a favor and take your anti-USA nonsense to Saudi Arabia, they will love you there.

Do you consider legally allowed refugees (but not yet citizens) as illegals and disallow idea of them seeking work?

The issue of immigration status comes AFTER the fact, when the job is actually discussed and agreed upon, by those hiring and applying.
There's a section in the immigration law that deals with refugees, asylum seekers. Entirely different situation, and they are not penalized like visa dodgers and border jumpers.

What that lefty group is doing has ZERO to do with asylum or refugees. Provisions are made under U.S. law for those special cases.
