"That’s Illegal!" Tales from the P.I.N.K.O. Detention Center

Giving Portland ‘the finger.’
While I was taking pictures Monday at the Portland Illegal Alien Kollection Operation and Detention Center (P.I.N.K.O), a man looking for work said to me, “Hey, that’s illegal!”
The irony was lost on him, alas. Maybe it was because Mayor Moonbeam and Rainbow City Council have given $200K plus in our tax dollars to aid and abet this illegal behavior that it gave him the veneer of legality and that anything done to expose this was illegal. I don’t know.

What I do know is that it is illegal for these illegal alien workers to be here. I know that if they’re legal workers there are dozens of temp agencies around to use–the city doesn’t need to do this for citizens. I know that it is illegal to hire illegal aliens and that is it against the law to ‘jack someone’s ID.
And what good has this day labor center done? Nothing. There are still nearby corners teeming with illegal aliens looking for day labor jobs. So we still have the illegals, even more are encouraged to come by the city, AND they’re still hanging out by the businesses that wanted them moved to the P.I.N.K.O Detention Center.
