Undocumented immigrants? I think the Mayor should use the term “illegal aliens”.

“Turner has created the Office of New Americans, to help immigrants and refugees integrate into their new communities and access services they may need.”

“access services they may need” -— taxpayer money

The election of a certain someone, whom he did not name, will not change Houston's commitment to welcoming all walks of life and valuing diversity, Turner pledged at a press conference Monday morning.

And this "whom he did not name" is going to make you pay for your defiance.

Legal immigrants should have nothing to worry about. Criminal aliens should be deported.

Personally, I’ve never heard of INS raiding a school. I think it was W. W. inJustice that declared we had to educate all children whether they are illegal or not.

They have documents. Falsified documents including driver’s license, but they have documents.

Trespassers is a more appropriate term.

Imagine the outrage if the police bothered to arrest those with outstanding warrants when they went to go vote (Democrat).

But this city is infested with Democrat corruption and the new DA was funded by George Soros.

There will be no prosecution of the protected voters class.

how about protecting our LEGAL citizen’s rights not to be fleeced for billions of dollars by ILLEGAL Immigrants?

Immigrants cost this country anywhere between $400 BILLION dollars and $600 BILLION dollars every year (some estimate even more when all is said and done)

What gives this mayor the right to demand that hard working AMERICANS pay the bill of about $600 BILLION dollars every single year? How would the mayor like it if the people of texas demanded that HE pay for their expenses?

With immediate effect, all Federal funds are terminated. You'll have to use city taxpayer funds. Do you seriously think that city taxpayers want their money supporting a bunch of freeloading parasites, Mr. Mayor? Time for the voters to show you the door.

Let’s enforce some diversity by jailing him, declare the city guilty of intolerance and hate crimes against Americans, and install a law-abiding mayor until the city returns to law and order.

Sadly, these cities including their illegals will vote Democrat no matter what penalties you enforce. It’s rather obvious many cities are in the control of foreign invaders.

I would certainly hope that President Trump trumps Mayor Sylvester Turner and shuts down the mayor's "precious little sanctuary city" by depriving it of not one single Fed Gov penny!!!

As long as Trump shuts off federal funding I am okay with that.
I will work with my state representatives to shut off state funding.
Let Huston collapse.
