Illegal Immigrants Sue N.Y. Village For Right To Solicit Work

WNBC News Reports:

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. -- Six illegal immigrant day laborers sued a Westchester village in federal court Thursday, claiming they were being harassed by the police to keep them from soliciting work in public places.

The workers claimed that new Mamaroneck village regulations and the selective enforcement of them were infringing on their right to free speech. They said it was unconstitutional to keep them from speaking with contractors who drive by to hire manual labor for repairing and landscaping area homes.

Now, I'm not a lawyer or a legal expert by any means, but isn't there SOME way that the lawyer for this group could be subpeoned as a material witness and forced to reveal who the ILLEGAL immigrants are that she is trying to protect?

And on that note, does the Constitution even apply to non-citizens? Are non-citizens allowed to vote? Run for office? GET A JOB? I don't think so.
