| "Our roads are jammed with
unlicensed motorists driving uninsured cars. Our public health,
education and other services are overburdened with needy people
whose needs are so great we can't afford to meet them. Our, poorest
workers find their chances at employment compromised by competition
willing to work below the minimum wage. Sweatshops and other
illegal working conditions are tolerated as if we lived in a
Third World country." - DAILY NEWS |

"Of course Golden State
Transportation, which has been charged with the largest human
smuggling racket of its kind, was based in Los Angeles.

years without being noticed?
"Where else but in L.A. would civil authorities
-- the police, the tax collectors, the regulators -- never spot
a sham of a corporation, a faux travel company that's actually
a West Coast immigrant distribution network?
Los Angeles is the perfect place to stage this sort of an operation,
thanks to its combination of unresponsive government agencies
and thoughtless immigration policies." |
