We can't fix the immigration laws of this country," says Ellen Kaminsky, a supporter of a day-labor center in Herndon, Va., proposed by a coalition of religious groups, nonprofits and businesses.
Critics say the centers provide services to illegal immigrants who are taking jobs away from Americans, and also help employers who cheat the government of tax revenue by paying workers off the books.
Among the Herndon center's opponents is the Federation for American Immigration Reform, a Washington, D.C.-based group that last year promoted Arizona's Proposition 200, which seeks to restrict undocumented immigrants from obtaining a range of public services.
