From "Herndon Approves Day Labor Center":

The Herndon [Virginia] Town Council last night approved the creation of a formal, taxpayer-funded gathering spot for day laborers... in a 5 to 2 vote that several called the hardest decision in their public service, said they did not want to sanction illegal immigration, the chief concern of opponents of the center. Many of the workers the facility would serve are in the United States illegally from Mexico and Central America... But council members said they were helpless in the face of what they called a federal failure to police U.S. borders. They said it was their responsibility to bring order to a neighborhood nuisance that had become the town's most divisive issue in recent history... The approval means the town will help fund the center with $175,000 in public money...

UPDATE: News from the American side of things:

Former Attorney General and Republican nominee for Governor Jerry Kilgore [says] "When we begin to use public resources to reward and encourage illegal behavior, we demean those who have followed the rules and entice others to continue to flaunt our laws. I do not believe it is too much to ask that people obey the laws of our society before they attempt to take advantage of what our society has to offer. Were the day labor centers under consideration equipped with a mechanism to verify that taxpayer dollars are not subsidizing illegal behavior, I would support them. Legally present laborers benefit our economy and their contributions are appreciated and important. However, it is likely that most of the workers for whom these centers are to be created are in fact illegally present and should not be receiving taxpayer-funded services... As Governor, I would support legislation that clarifies Virginia law to say that those who are illegally present are not eligible for public benefits, including the expenditure of taxpayer money for services such as the day labor centers in Fairfax County."

UPDATE 2: "Day Labor Center Faces a Fight From Loudoun Officials" informs us that the center abuts residential districts in the next county over, and two supes from that county might try to use zoning laws to block it.
