Virginia -- At least 90 day laborers -- and more than a dozen protesters -- gathered yesterday at Herndon's new formal day-worker center that stirred a nationwide debate in the summer over whether taxpayer money should fund such centers, which cater mostly to illegal aliens.
The center officially opened for business at 6 a.m. in the parking lot of the town's old police station, at the intersection of Rock Hill and Sterling roads.
The laborers congregated outside, and protesters stood along the sidewalks and at the center's entrance, holding signs that read "Secure Our Borders" and "Keep Streets Safe." At some points, the protesters clashed with those who came out in support of the center.
