When the Carlsbad City Council “voted in Februrary to give Catholic Charities $108,500 in seed money” to start planning a farmworker shelter that didn’t sit very well with the freelance border patrollers who call themselves “The San Diego Minutemen.”
Jeff Schwilk, leader of the San Diego Minutemen, said he was “shocked and amazed” when he heard . . . Schwilk and others told the council Tuesday that it shouldn’t go into the housing business. First, Schwilk said, the people who employ the farmworkers ought to provide housing. Second, the farmworkers who might stay at the proposed shelter are likely to be illegal immigrants who shouldn’t be working in this country, he and several others argued.
Hard to believe the Minutemen would actually leave their oh-so-important posts down by the border. Just think how many workers snuck in while the council was meeting.
