Dallas County passes resolution welcoming unauthorized immigrants
Dallas News ^ | 2/8/17 | Naomi Martin

Posted on 02/10/2017 6:16:17 AM PST by fivecatsandadog

Immigrant advocates packed a Dallas County commissioners meeting Tuesday, turning a vote welcoming unauthorized immigrants into hours of emotional, sometimes tense debate over so-called sanctuary cities.  The "Welcoming Communities" resolution, which is not legally binding, passed 4-1. The commission's sole Republican, Commissioner Mike Cantrell, voted against it.

Commissioner Elba Garcia, who moved to America from Mexico decades ago, said she introduced the resolution to calm immigrants and make them feel safe in Dallas County. She said local law enforcement officers have told her they want to forge trust with immigrants — not deport them. 

"The purpose of this resolution is the dream — the American dream," Garcia said. But she stopped short of specifying what she meant by ending "nonessential collaborations" with ICE. "We don't want to do the federal government's work. 'Nonessential' means exactly that."

"across America we need to take back our city councils, county commissions, and school boards from the deranged and demented leftists. We must no longer disregard these local and municipal elections; they do have dire consequences. Just think about Kate Steinle, and what the county commission here in Dallas County just admitted: “unauthorized immigrants” — the new politically correct moniker —are fine by them, and if there’s a Kate Steinle incident, so what? "

LEOs who don't want to enforce the law should quit or be sacked.

Looks like another city we're going to have to roll tanks into, arrest the leadership for Federal felony immigration crimes, and establish military order until a suitable and lawful civilian authority can be elected.

And yes, I am serious.

The Dallas County commissioners should take the invaders into THEIR OWN damn homes.

If we could only be sure that the “refugees” and the Muslim “neighbors” would only go Jihad on those who voted YES, or welcome their presence...

The organization of leftists and Trump enemies is massive...
The organization of conservatives and America lovers is non-existent...

Where we conservatives look at individual freedom, the left looks at collectivism...

Therein lies our biggest problem...The ONLY way we can defeat this scum is to massively organize...Something we aren’t accustomed to...

Everybody needs to flood the city council with the FACT that they are going to spend money on the refugees but they might want to think about the FIRE AND POLICE RETIREMENT FUND SHORTFALL.

Tell them not to come crying to the FEDS for money when they wasted it on illegal aliens and not their own taxpayers.

That should go over really well.

Cut and paste but shove this in their faces.

That's nice. The next time I get pulled over for speeding, I'll ask the officer to not give me a ticket as sign that he is forging trust with me.

Wait! Dallas County should be sued by Washington State and Minnesota because they “proved” they NEED these refugees and will be irreparably harmed if they are denied them, (apparently). Dallas County cannot greedily horde this vital necessity/human resource!
