Mulnomah County said it

Taxpayer funded study of the "needs of Hispanics in Multnomah County"
A significant number of Latino/a men, women, and children, most of them undocumented, are working in the informal sector of the Portland Metropolitan area economy. Informal activities are different from criminal ones in that they include goods and services that are legal, but whose production and marketing are unregulated and untaxed. Unlicensed vending, working for cash
doing day labor (streetcorner laborers)...

Feel free to continue to argue with me that the day laborers are illegal aliens...

  1. Uhh, let me get this straight, now.....informal business activity that doesn't pay taxes, is unlicensed, and therefore, unregulated, is not (by definition) illegal?!!....even when illegals are doing it?!! Now I understand how these morons came up with gay "marriage?" Golly, this sounds like fun. Which laws can I ignore?

  2. It's much like an "informal prescription" or an "informal bank withdrawl."
