| | FAIR: : Success in Suffolk County Hiring Hall Fight |
 | | In Suffolk County, New York, illegal aliens and their supporters were dealt a blow last month, when the county legislature’s proposal to fund a hiring hall for day laborers, many of whom are illegal aliens, was vetoed by the county executive. |
 | | Catholic Charities of Suffolk had asked for money from the county to build a hiring hall, which, by providing a place for employers to hire laborers for a day’s work without checking their immigration status, would likely harbor illegal aliens. |
 | | When over 100 immigration reform activists filled the county legislature’s meeting hall for its all day meeting on overriding the veto, their voice and presence changed the minds of several legislators, and the attempted override failed, leaving Gaffney’s veto intact. |
