League City in Texas has banned the processing and detention of illegal unaccompanied minors in their community.
Heidi Thiess, League City Councilwoman, told CNN’s Ashleigh Banfield that they don’t believe the federal government is following its own laws and the resolution they passed is aimed at the overall problem of illegal immigration and human trafficking.
When Thiess was asked if she understood the criticism that they are turning their backs on these people who just need help, she disagreed pointing out that the unaccompanied children are only 18% of those in detention right now and if the federal government were to start busing people in, they don’t get a choice as to who is brought and ultimately released in their community.

hah! Perry looks like he wants to slug that moronic braying donkey who is sitting catty-corner from him.
Getting harder and harder for the Commie News Network to tug on the old heartstrings and get the response they want. I feel for them, unemployment hopefully the next stop.
Way to go!!!
Lets see how many of those liberals lead by example....
.... crickets...
Only a failure if this is not the situation you wanted and created.
I like the scowl on Perry’s face!
Dissent is patriotic!
....”Banfield is a babbling idiot”....
A drama queen as soon as she’s loosing her message and the truth is revealed. Like all Liberal Anchors....they up the volume and get their pants in a knot!
Actually let Hollywood and every Politician pay to ship them all back to where they came from. Let their pocketbooks feel the pinch.

RESOLUTION NO. 2014-_______
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF LEAGUE CITY, TEXAS TO PROTECT THE HEALTH, SAFETY, AND SECURITY OF OUR CITIZENS AND COMMUNITY; AND PROVIDING FOR OTHER MATTERS RELATED TO THE SUBJECT
WHEREAS, the citizens of League City, Texas recognize their duty as law-abiding citizens to act in accordance with the U.S. Constitution and the Texas Constitution, and agree that their right to life, liberty, and property shall not be infringed; and WHEREAS, the federal government has failed to protect the homeland in accordance with Article 1, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution, Texas has the right and obligation to protect its citizens in accordance with Article 1, Section 1 of the Texas Constitution:
Freedom and Sovereignty of State.
Texas is a free and independent State, subject only to the Constitution of the United States, and the maintenance of our free institutions and the perpetuity of the Union depend upon the preservation of the
right of local self- government
unimpaired to all the States.
And is supported by Article 1, Section 29 of the Texas Constitution:
Provisions of Bill of Rights Excepted from Powers of Government; To Forever Remain Inviolate.
To guard against transgressions of the high powers herein designated, we declare that everything in this (Texas) “Bill of Rights” is excepted out of the general powers of government, and shall forever remain inviolate, and all laws contrary thereto, or to the following provisions, shall be void.
WHEREAS, the citizens of League City Texas are greatly concerned regarding the ongoing massive influx of illegal aliens seeking unauthorized entry to the United States; and
WHEREAS, it is estimated that more than 90,000 minors will arrive in the United States during the 2014 fiscal year and an additional 145,000 illegal alien minors in 2015 fiscal year, with most expected to remain in Texas cities and communities; and
WHEREAS, the leaders of League City question the impact that the sudden influx of school-age illegal minors will have on our Independent School Districts’ (ISD) educational funding, school resources, campus security, and health safety for our children; and
WHEREAS, health advisories report that many illegal aliens suffering from diseases endemic in their countries of origin are being released into our communities; and
WHEREAS, the federal government is actively seeking more locations within Texas towns and counties to accommodate the unprecedented overflow of illegal aliens and unaccompanied minors; and
WHEREAS, the increasing volume of illegal aliens is already bankrupting some cities and counties in the State of Texas by overwhelming the local medical, educational, law enforcement, and judicial systems; and
WHEREAS, members of dangerous transnational criminal organizations and radical Islamic terror groups continue to exploit the situation to infiltrate the United States for the purpose of establishing criminal activity, terror cells, and training operations within our homeland; and
WHEREAS, without a secure border Texas cities and communities cannot protect the health and safety of their citizens; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LEAGUE CITY, TEXAS, as follows:
Section 1. That all agencies of the City of League City are instructed to refuse requests or directives by federal agencies to permit or establish any facility for the purposes of processing, housing, or detaining any illegal aliens, designated as “refugee” or otherwise.
Section 2. That in order to control the potential threat of communicable diseases reported to be prevalent among illegal aliens, all appropriate agencies of the City of League City are instructed to prudently exercise the City’s police power in any manner necessary to protect the health, safety and welfare of the citizens of League City.
Section 3. We hereby appeal to our state legislators and elected officials for action and accountability to urgently address the continuing influx of illegal aliens across our border. •
Through State executive and legislative actions demand that the Federal government provide additional resources for new and/or existing Border Patrol checkpoints, and employ a contiguous physical barrier where strategically prudent. •
Demand the Texas State Legislature to enhance state smuggling and human trafficking laws, and provide civil liability protections for Texan land owners against criminal trespassers. •
Demand the Texas State Legislature abolishes any and all state-controlled or sponsored magnets that exacerbate the problem of rampant illegal immigration, such as (but not limited to): in-state tuition subsidies, welfare benefits, and free non-emergency health care for illegal aliens. •
Require the State to perform a cost/benefit analysis of the illegal alien presence and report that cost to Texas taxpayers and state agencies. •
Pass legislation to prohibit “sanctuary cities” which restrict law enforcement from determining the immigration status of detainees after the commission of a crime within our communities.
Section 4. That civic responsibility demands that community and state leaders begin crisis planning immediately to address the unprecedented wave of foreign minor school age children that could be enrolled in Texas schools this summer; and
Section 5. That the City of League City, State of Texas, calls on other communities and jurisdictions to join with us in this action by passing similar Resolutions.
Section 6. That copies of this Resolution be immediately transmitted to the Governor of the State of Texas; the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives of Texas’ legislature; each individual legislator that represents our City in the State of Texas; the Commissioner’s Court of Galveston County; and the Sheriff of Galveston County.

Galveston Co has also passed a resolution to ban illegals
“Section 5. That the City of League City, State of Texas, calls on other communities and jurisdictions to join with us in this action by passing similar Resolutions.”
Why not all of us do this. Would this work?
His upper left arm is not parallel with the stick. When he strokes the stick, the tip will describe a left to right sweep rather than a straight back and forth stroke, thus having minimal control of the direction the cue travels.
Anti sanctuary cities. Heh heh.

Crap...Right down the road from me...
You could drive down to League City, just South of the NASA JSC center, and pull up to where all the city offices are off Hwy 3, and you used to see mobs of “day workers”, congregating right across the street from the police station, waiting for someone to come along and give them a project...
And no one every thought, or even dared to go over, to inquire to those peoples immigration status...
But that would be racists, and profiling, and open the city up for idiotic lawsuits on the illegals behalf...
Heidi Thiess is well known as a political force in our area...
IF this is happening in League City, it has to be so widespread across the entire country, it is overwhelming to say the least...And only a handful of American citizens are beginning to really see the threat (yes, another threat) this issue poses to our nation...
If the liberals/socialists succeed in turning Texas “blue”...You know the result that will have on the entire country...
[Obama] “These Texans are a bunch of fools!!! hahahaha”
Rick...Grow a pair will ya, please??? Geesh...
Apparently the opposition is still fighting that effort, and the enforcement has been lackluster to say the least...
Like I said in my last post, you could drive down the side street off Hwy 3 to where the city office buildings are and see groups of “day workers lounging around right across from the po-po station, and no one is ever screened from any position or effort by lawful authority...
I suppose they may scatter for a little while, while the attention is hot on this particular tinderbox...
But in all actuality, it would have been a great place to setup a good, old fashioned, FReep...
...sigh...
“...Like all Liberal Anchors....they up the volume and get their pants in a knot!...”
It’s actually fun to watch them when they lose it. Mika Brezhinsky’s “impeachment moment” the other day was pretty classic too.
The wheels are falling off their little grand illusion, and they know it... and they can’t deal with it.
It was all about HER and her mannerisms, her cheesy Hollywood posturing, her editorializing, and her non-stop regurgitation of what she was programmed to spew... regardless of the reality!
It was HER face time and SHE was going to get as much bang for the buck as she could!!
I agree. Anyone who abetted this tragedy is at fault: obamateur, holder, the governments of Guatemala and Mexico, the border agents who blindly let busloads of these invaders in, all of them. This is simply anarchy writ large, which is what brought Mussolini and Clara to their gory ends.
“It’s easy to have their position when you know you’ll never have to deal with the consequences. They should roll some FEMA trailers into the elites’ neighborhoods and move the illegals there. See how that works for them.”
You win The Post Of The Day Award!
But it’s not just the elitists who should bear the brunt of this. Let’s also move these illegal aliens into the upper middle class white neighborhoods who also voted for Obama.
