Suit Alleges Town Targets Hispanics For Traffic Stops This article was published on Friday, July 6, 2007 8:47 PM CDT in News By Jon Gambrell The Associated Press ALEXANDER -- Hispanic drivers ticketed for having rosaries on their mirrors or small flags on their windows have sued town officials, alleging police targeted them and had their cars towed by a company that gives a portion of its profits back to the city.
Alexander Mayor Shirley Johnson says allegations of racial profiling won't stand up. Of 166 tickets issued in June, only 24 were given to Hispanics, she said.

Have a good night stephenjohnbanker.
I believe there is going to be hell to pay should a terrorist bomb go off and we find out the terrorist came across the Southern border.
We in the conservative movement or Republican party will lose all credibility when it comes to being the ones identified as securing the nation.
Bush has insured that we have no credibility. I conservatively estimate that 20,000 terrorists have jumped the Mexican border already. The figure could be 2-3 times that.
You have a good night as well!
This area has many chicken plants and the Hispanics come for the jobs. Most communities in this area are over run with illegals. Now they are reaping the social decay that they bring.
I lived in California from 76 to 06. I can imagine the decay!
Demand a border fence! Build it NOW!! Beef up the border patrol and close our borders!
