HERNDON, Virginia -- The city of Herndon voted Wednesday night to keep the day-labor center in the city open but made it a rule to check workers' identification before allowing them to work.
Workers won't necessarily need a driver's license, but they will have to be able to prove they can legally work in the U.S.
Immigration advocates said that defeats the purpose of a day-labor center.
The local vote passed 6 to 1. It was watched and heard on a national stage.
Herndon became a flashpoint and made national headlines when it opened a day-labor center in 2005.
