Al Sharpton Protests Day Laborer Deportations in Connecticut

"The Rev. Al Sharpton criticized Danbury officials for using undercoverpolice officers to promise jobs to day laborers in 2006, only to turn them over to federal agents for deportation. The arrests were unfair, Sharpton told a Danbury church congregation Sunday. 'I don't lie to folks and then deport them,' Sharpton told about 350 people at New Hope Baptist Church on Sunday. 'I'm coming to a town that switches bait,'" the AP reports. "Mayor Mark Boughton has said waves of immigrants are straining schools and leading to other problems such as crowded housing and unlicensed drivers. A message was left with Boughton on Monday."

I think this is a great way to round up illegals. If big corporations can post phony job leads to bring in H1b workers, why not use the same tactic to round up and deport illegals. It's probably much more cost effective. Here in Cook county, the police told a bunch of criminals they had won Chicago Bulls tickets (during the Michael Jordan era). When they showed up to claim their prizes, they were all arrested on outstanding warrants. Where was Al Sharpton then?

Ridiculous complaint from Sharpton. Police run crime stings all the time. This is no different.

Does Al know that 40% of all black male unemployment is caused by illegal aliens? This is the result of a study done by Dr Frank Morris of the Coalition of Future American Workers. Doctor Morris is a black civil rights worker. All Al wants is the spotlight without regard for his fellow blacks.

Sorry, I leave this one to the black community in Danbury, we're way too busy out in Caliofornia trying to keep our taxes from skyrocketing to support the continuous Mexican and other foreign nationals invasion of Kaleeeeforneeeea. Our Democratic Governor, oops sorry I mean Republican Governor(yeah right!) has his hands full.

You'd think Mr. Sharpton would be more concerned with what's happening in L.A.

Hundreds brawl at LA high school-broken up by police
LOS ANGELES — A fight that broke out at a troubled South Los Angeles school escalated into a campuswide brawl involving as many as 600 students before it was quelled by police in riot gear.

The melee, which students said started around noon Friday between rival black and Hispanic gangs, forced authorities to shut down Locke High School and keep students in their classrooms. After restoring order, they rounded up students who hadn't returned to class and separated them by race, holding Hispanics in the gym and black students in another room.

About 65 percent of the 2,600 students enrolled at Locke are Hispanic, and 35 percent are black.

A simple case of the tail wagging the dog. We pay
police, ice, et al to maintain law order and security in this country otherwise we are faced with anarchy. Any criminal including illegal immigration
should be, yes must be addressed. We The American
public by and large simply can't carry the extra load imposed upon us by the illegals. Mr Sharpton
should be addressing the issues imposed upon us by
this invasion. My advise to you sir is to turn your collar around and run for public office.

Hey Al,
Anything that gets them out is okay. Don't you realize that illegals take the jobs that blacks used to do? Or do you really care? I'm sure the businesses show their "appreciation" in many ways.

WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO JAIL AL, AFTER YOUR FBI PROBE?

Of course you'd never lie against innocent suspects, re: false allegations in Duke La Crosse party scandal when you and Jesse ganged against them.

See the proof Al may get a striped suit for worse than just lying:

Black Ministers in the L.A. area have been asking Al Sharpton, and Jesse Jackson to come and help them restore some semblance of civility in their neighborhoods for years but, as one Black Minister said, "there's not enough money or media coverage in it for them to come here".
Mr. Sharpten conveniently forgets that Blacks are the biggest group being displace by illegal "cheap labor" aliens. Blacks have also become the biggest racial cleansing target for Hispanic gangs. Blacks are now outnumbered by at least 4 to 1, and block by block, are being forced out of their own neighborhoods by Hispanic gangs that are getting increasingly vicious and bloody.
Backed by a Hispanic Mayor and mostly Hispanic city counsel, police enforcement in those area's is almost nonexistent.
What happens when Hispanic gangs completely push out the Black residents? Affluent citizens are moving into gated, and privately guarded complexes. Sooner or later L.A will erupt into one gigantic racial war! It's just a matter of time and the right circumstances to ignite it.

AL SHARPTON: NO

Posted by: SUSAN MARIANO on May 11, 2008 07:45 PM

Maybe Al and Jesse should both be deported.

Posted by: Sick 'n Tired on May 12, 2008 10:21 AM

Please tell me why Al and Jesse are no longer standing up for the black Americans who are, by far, more displaced by illegals than any other group of workers? There is profiteering written all over this...I just wish someone could expose them for the P'sOS that they are!
