San Diego ACORN Employee Fired Over Video


Community organizer is seen providing advice about human smuggling

NATIONAL CITY, Calif.
- ACORN officials in San Diego have fired an employee caught on video providing advice about human smuggling to a couple posing as a pimp and a prostitute.

David Lagstein, the group's head organizer in San Diego, initially said Thursday that he believed Juan Carlos Vera did his best to deal with a challenging situation and would not be disciplined. But three hours later, Lagstein reversed that decision.

He said he reevaluated the videos posted online in which Vera was secretly filmed answering questions about smuggling people into the U.S. through Tijuana. Lagstein said after further discussion with supervisors and state ACORN officials he decided Vera's conduct was "unacceptable."

Come on Mr. Lagstein, how stupid do you think we are??? You fired Mr. Vera because on that video he disclosed some very damaging information about ACORN. They have "Connections" that can help smuggle illegals into this country.
