Leaders of this Dallas suburb unanimously approved tough new anti- immigration measures Monday evening, including one that makes English the official language. In a series of unanimous votes, the city council also approved fines for landlords and businesses 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.
The votes were made in a room in City Hall packed with people who clapped as the votes were tallied in favor of the measures. In a parking lot outside, hundreds of protesters against the rules hoisted U.S. flags and sang the Pledge of Allegiance in English before the votes were taken.
The ordinance has troubled many people in Texas, where many Latino families can trace their roots to the era before statehood.

Ok, thanks
That is just a liberal argument to knock down a good law. Everyone will have to give proof of citizenship. Will the landlords scutinize the proof from Hispanics more thoroughly? Probably, but that is just the way it has to be when we have so many illegal Mexican aliens committing document fraud. If you are a citizen, you have proof, so it doesn't make any difference in the end.
Believe it; the Goebbels Technique is effective. There are far too many people who are willing to just swallow the "big lie" hook, line and sinker and the MSM happily pumps out propaganda all day, every day. It is plain to see that both factors are present... troublemakers are taking advantage of the stupidity of the American public.
Hitler summed it up pretty well when he said: "What good fortune for rulers, that the people do not think."
The media does all they can to lump families like mine in with illegal aliens, and certainly my family doesn't fall for it. Unfortunately, there are too many on both extremes of the issue (the chicano-power race baiters and the xenophones on each extreme end) who feed and thrive on this bs they are fed by the media.
doh!
xenophones=xenophobes
that's what I get for freeping on just 1 cup of coffee

Maybe then the worthless Congress will wake up ... unless, of course, they instead vote to move the Capital rather than actually do the job they have taken an oath to do.
If they have been here 161 years or more they are not I-L-L-E-G-A-L-S!
I invite the Mexicans to come in to Texas and take back what was won the way it was "taken". By force.
