The office of Houston Mayor Annise Parker confirmed the migrants' arrival, according to Click2Houston. It appears that the immigrants coming to Houston are the same individuals who were rejected in Murrieta, California. On Tuesday 140 illegal immigrants were transported via plane to San Diego and then bussed to a federal housing facility in Murrieta. A large crowd of angry U.S. citizens protested the migrants' arrival, which prompted agents to turn the bus around. Patrice Lynes, the organizer of the Murrieta protests, told Michelle Moons of Breitbart News that she and others want the U.S. to repatriate illegal immigrants to their home countries. On June 4th Breitbart Texas' Managing Director Brand Darby broke the news that U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) was relocating illegal immigrants from Texas to Southern California. Within moments of that article being published, the official Twitter account of the San Diego CBP tweeted at Darby, insisting the report was erroneous and asking for it to be removed from the internet. Days later--after National Border Patrol Council Vice President Shawn Moran came to Darby's defense--the San Diego CBP deleted the tweet from their official account. Subsequent reports, outlining plans to fly immigrants to Southern California, proved CBP had indeed planned the relocation. Thousands of illegal immigrants--many of whom are children and "family units"-- continue to cross the border and enter Texas' Rio Grande Valley each day. Instead of transporting the migrants back to their home countries in Central America, authorities are utilizing tax dollars to fly them to facilities around the country, where they enjoy benefits such as food, housing, education, vocational training, and legal counsel. At this time it is unclear how many migrants will ultimately be sent to Houston or where they will be housed. The office of Mayor Parker did not return Breitbart Texas' calls--it is easy to imagine the city is attempting to keep the news of the immigrants' arrival quiet, as to prevent protests similar to those in Murrieta.

Notice how quiet Jerry Brown is over the Murrieta protest? He’s up for reelection, and you can bet the Democrat party is doing its best to assure it happens by working with him to keep his name off the immigration debate.
We shall see.

If they’re in Texas, drop them in tony Austin. If not, bus them to Capitol building and burbs. Let them get a taste of what they inflict on others.

The mayor of Houston is a true left winged whacko:
Houston Mayor Defends Controversial Ordinance Critics Say Will Allow Men in Women’s Bathrooms
Christian Post ^ | 07/08/2014 | Michael Gryboski
Posted on 7/8/2014 11:40:19 AM by SeekAndFind
In response to a petition that reportedly garnered over 50,000 signatories, the mayor of Houston has pledged to defend an antidiscrimination ordinance that critics say will allow transgendered men to use women’s bathrooms.
Mayor Annise Parker, supporter of the Houston Equal Rights Ordinance, has stated that the ordinance will not be repealed.
“The Houston I know does not discriminate, treats everyone equally and allows full participation by everyone in civic and business life,” said Parker, in a statement shared with The Christian Post.
“We don’t care where you come from, the color of your skin, your age, gender, what physical limitations you may have or whom you choose to love. I am confident voters will soundly defeat any challenge to the ordinance.”
In May, the Houston City Council voted 11 to 6 to approve an “Equal Rights Ordinance” for the city. The ERO amended Chapters 2, 15 and 17 of Houston’s Code of Ordinances, prohibiting discrimination in public facilities and private employment on the basis of “protected characteristics.”
This list of protected characteristics included race, color, ethnicity, sex, national origin, age, familial and marital status, military status, religion, disability, genetic information, pregnancy, sexual orientation and gender identity.
Critics of ERO have claimed that it will have several unintended consequences, such as allowing transgendered men to use women’s bathrooms.
