"McGauley said his group will come regardless of any resolution that is passed."


Good. As far as I know there have been no amendments to the constitution that can stop them.

Wow. A resolution.
Means nothing and carries no force of law.

As with other cities, a few councilmen trying to deny the wishes of an entire city.

It doesn't ban the minutemen and they said it won't stop them. What' the city councils point? They think people care what they say?

I love articles like this which PRAISE people for not doing something themselves, but for sitting around and waiting for the government to do something for them. That's the good ol' American spirit!

It's pretty likely that the same writer will attack the police FOR doing something that they praise the people for not doing.

As far as I know, a city council cannot stop the minutemen's right to assemble as long as that pesky first amendment is still in the U.S. constitution. I hope this makes the minutemen come to this town first, and stay longer.

Agreed. As effective as a UN resolution.

..."Other cities are very concerned with the Minutemen and the negativity that they bring to respective cities." ...

Citizens should be "very concerned" with politicians who do nothing to reduce the number of illegal aliens in their city. Language, Culture, Borders.

want to assist the federal government in enforcing immigration laws

It's hard to assist a government who REFUSES to enforce immigration laws, but it's a dirty job and someone has to do it.

The press consists almost solely of sob sisters nowadays.

Great Scot, man! Don't you realize you have [gasp & choke] strayed from the PC-approved path here?

I hope you're not suggesting these Latinos/Hispanics/Whatevers may possibly be predisposed to favor the illegal aliens flooding across our border?

Please - please tell me you're not suggesting that.

Does this carry the same weight as a resolution from the UN?

The Laredo City Council Monday night passed a resolution that says they do not approve of individuals or groups who visit the city and want to assist the federal government in enforcing immigration laws.

The resolution also encourages landowners within Webb County or the city to refuse helping groups who ask for their assistance in patrolling the border.

That so? Well, here's my resolution:

I resolve to encourage my fellow American citizens to do all they lawfully can to assist the enforcement of immigration laws, such as visiting towns like Laredo, Texas with local governments that encourage scofflaw employers and illegal immigrants.

I also resolve to encourage landowners within Laredo or Webb Count to wholeheartedly and unstintingly assist those brave American patriot volunteers patrolling the border to ebb the flow of an invasion that traitors like LULAC and its sock puppet Laredo City Council want to aid and abet.

Lastly, I resolve to encourage the voting American citizens of Laredo and Webb County to remember to campaign against and vote out the traitors in their local governments the very next Election Day.

"They still have to follow the law like everybody else," Valdez said.

They are and do moreso than those such as he who aids and emboldens illegal aliens.

Our attitude in Texas is we need to do what we have to do.

Is he saying they will only due the bare minimum and no more ?

Cut of all state and federal dollars to the City of Laredo!

Since we KNOW that organized crime owns Nuevo Laredo it would be no surprise to find out that Laredo is also owned by the same drug cartels. It's one of their MAJOR pipelines into the U.S.
