Farmer's Branch, Texas Gets on the Kick-Ass Program
Woo-Hoo! Another town lays the smack down on illegals. Of course the bleeding heart snot brigade has their panties in a twist. I love the BS about" Oh, you're forcing landlords to be immigration agents." Nonsense. It calls for renters to get a permit. And the local government checks whether or not they get that permit.
Leaders of this Dallas suburb unanimously approved tough new anti-immigration (Anti-immigration my ass. Anti-illegal alien) measures Monday evening, including one that makes English the official language.
In a series of 6-0 votes, the city council also approved fines for landlords that deal with illegal immigrants, and decided to allow local authorities to screen suspects in police custody to see whether they are in the country illegally.
With the votes, the city became the first municipality in Texas to enact such strong anti-immigrant laws. Such ordinances have troubled many people in the state, where many Latino families can trace their roots to the era before statehood.
