Folks in the Second Ward area of Houston are complaining about day laborers -- most of whom are border jumping immigration criminals. They frighten off customers, according to local businessmen, and they worry local residents.

The response of pro-immigration crime activists?

Juan Alvarez, an activist working to organize the day laborers in that area, asked homeowners to be compassionate.

"I know it is a problem for most of you, but on the other side they are human beings, too," Alvarez said.

He maintained that a crackdown at the sites could force the laborers out of work and into crime.

Hold it -- they are already criminals. Their presence here is a crime. Why should we be tolerant and understanding of their crimes? And why should we give in to this blackmail -- "overlook and assist these crimes or they will commit worse crimes" as demanded by the pro-immigration crime activists?
