A new Home Depot store and an adjacent hiring center for day laborers opened today in Burbank. Catholic Charities will run the site. The City Council required the home-improvement retail chain to construct the hiring center in order to open a store, and the City of Los Angeles may soon require all large home improvement stores to build similar centers for day laborers. But some anti-immigration groups oppose the trend, and a pending bill in congress could prohibit such mandates. Larry Mantle talks with Burbank Mayor Jef VanderBorght, Juan Rodriguez of the Catholic Charities of Los Angeles and Rick Oberlink, spokesman for Californians for Population Stabilization.
