This is good news. Thanks to Republicans stopping corrupt spending by the Federal government, the “work centers” paid for by Federal taxpayers are being closed. Let me be clear—these were centers meant to get jobs almost exclusively for illegal aliens—not honest citizens. Honest citizens paid taxes so criminals from other countries could get our jobs.
“Seven Los Angeles day labor centers could be forced to close this summer because of a reduction in federal funding.
The centers, which connect a workforce composed largely of immigrants who are in the country illegally with temporary construction, landscaping and other jobs, have long been funded by about $1 million in federal community development grants distributed through City Hall.”
Federal funding cut could close seven Los Angeles day labor centers

Earlier this year, day labor centers in downtown Los Angeles and in Wilmington had to close when funding ran out. The centers reopened several weeks later after the City Council approved emergency funds to keep them open through the end of the fiscal year June 30.
Supporters of the centers say they are worried about the future. Mayor Eric Garcetti’s proposed 2014-15 budget calls for the centers to be funded but at a reduced rate. The budget does not specify where the money will come from.
In other states, public financing of day labor centers has been banned.
Garcetti spokesman Jeff Millman said the mayor’s office is also committed to finding money to keep the centers open. He said the mayor hopes to provide $750,000 for day labor centers next year, 15% less than the amount the centers received this year in federal money.
