Drexell Johnson and his Young Black Contractors of South Central Inc. are hungry for work — and when polite requests for an opportunity are rebuffed, they're not afraid to raise a ruckus.
After Johnson was cut out of a contract when Staples Center was being built, he drove to the construction site, spinning 360-degree rolls and kicking up doughnuts of dust until, he said, a bulldozer nearly ran him down. In Torrance, his group staged a mock hanging in front of an automaker's office. And earlier this month, they hauled a makeshift "slave ship" to an Inglewood mall development to symbolize economic injustice.

Sounds more like a low grade form of extrosion to me. And to think - he gets to bid on all those minority only set asides on contracts that many don't even get the chance.
Probably some of all of the above
Most white people actually get the minority set asides with a minority=black front man.

"Over Immigration"? Hmm, WHICH WORD seems to be missing in the middle, there?

Could it be ... "ILLEGAL"????

L.A. workers join fierce debate over ILLEGAL immigration.
That's better.
The only way to make the illegal problem worse is to unionize them with the government's blessing. That is like formally swearing them into the Communist Party and our signing surrender papers.

Except that isn't the case. They're talking about the proposals to expand the number of guest-workers. In other words, this debate is about increasing the number of LEGAL immigrants to the country.
Oh, sure, the terms of the debate are clearer due to the vast presence of illegals, but people are realizing that supply and demand applies to labor as much as anything else. If you increase the supply, legally or otherwise, then the cost they can command necessarily drops, barring an increase in demand.
Since there is a proposal to increase the number here legally, that is what's under debate, and what is being opposed.
And good thing, too.

Well it looks like the dems/libs are in a bit of a bind here.They condone illegal immigration from Mexico,discourage attempts to secure the border,even lobby to give illegals drivers licences.The result is African Americans are paying the price.Can't find work?Blacks have no one to blame but themselves and their dem masters.Advice to AA's;Get over it.It's only going to get worse.
Oh well, sad that they make their logon process so confusing that once you do it you have to then search for the article you were linked over there to find. They need to get their act together if they expect 'links' to bring them readers ... I basically just ignore any latimes links since it requires so many steps to read, even with a registered account.
Indeed and that is a loss to the LAT! Fortunately, most news is available elsewhere.
Make Employers Check Work Eligibility
You can now pressure your local employers to check the eligibility of prospective employees.
Social Security numbers can now be verified by using the following toll free number: 1-800-772-6270. Up to 5 names can be verified over the phone and up to 50 by faxing a inquiry to your local Social Security office. It is all explained in a publication put out by Social Security- " Employer Reporting Instructions & Information. "
BTAIM, forty years ago, Americans were doing these jobs, and many still are, today. And we need to ask: will the 2nd generation of Mexican laborers be willing to take these jobs, or do we have to depend on an uncrasing supply of immigrants?
For all of american history, americans were doing these jobs and the US has always depended on an increasing supply of immigrants to do the menial jobs with the 2nd generation moving up the ladder. The only difference this time is the immigrants are mexican, not european. One of my better friends from college is a daughter of a mexican immigrant and she is now a physician.
The US economic model has always depended on an increasing population. At some point this can not continue. When the baby boom generation retires, we may have to find out how to run an economy with a decreasing work force.
"we may have to find out how to run an economy with a decreasing work force."
Well as a supporter of free enterprise I would suggest we should not "run" our economy at all.
