"Latino parents have grown so nervous, they're keeping their kids out of schools."

Good. Maybe they'll eventually become nervous enough to go back home. But I suspect that'd happen only if the anchor baby laws are rescinded, illegal-hiring employers are hit where it hurts, the welfare goodies are cut off, a border barrier is built, and deportations commence in earnest. Long way to go, obviously.

"...What had once been a lofty political debate has now become a gritty, explosive reality."

"...a lofty political debate" is an interesting way to characterize the federal government telling us to go to hell.

How stupid is this bitch ? Does she not understand that in LA county alone, just the cost of welfare, food stamps, & education for illegals last year was over $ 1 billion dollars. When you add in the costs of all the free health care, incarceration, prosecution, police, automobile deaths etc. the costs are astronomical...

These people are here illegally, there is no reason the rest of the county and country has to foot the bill for these people.

Let Shipman pay for them, if she wants them in here so bad. Love to see someone she loves killed by a drunk illegal in a car accident. Maybe she’d change her attitude pretty quick.

“Have Communities Gone Too Far?”

Do we still have 12-20 illegal aliens squatting in America?

[caisson71]

To the lefties, their every opposition is a “lofty political debate”. It only gets nasty when us lesser folk insist on enforcement of our laws, personal responsibility and adherence to our Constitution. How unbearably “common” that is?

“comes home and asked me, ‘Why do they hate us?’”

Because you are killing the country my ancestors built and draining my country’s resources you illegal POS.

Not to mention you flaunt it in my face.

[Altura Ct.]

They haven’t gone far enough.

[dalereed]

Far too few cities have gone far enough!!!

[zerosix]

Hell, we aren't doing nearly enough (plus we're 20 years late to the task!) which is precisely why REAL conservatives are pi**ed at Bush, Congress, the Courts, and are looking for blood!

The weenies hoping to run for reelection better wake up lest they find themselves spending "more time with their families" instead of taking bribes from the U.S. Chambers of Commerce, for more illegals to "do the jobs ordinary Americans won't do."

“Local Governments Going ‘Too Far’ Against Illegals?”

No, dammit. It’s the US government that has gone too far against its’ own citizens.

[SpaceBar]

Just to contemplate the magnitude of the problem, they would need to deport 10,000 illegals per day for five and a half years to remove what’s estimated to be here.

[longtermmemmory]

so abc is ok with eminent domain abuse by local cities but not ok with stopping illegals.

There is a pattern here. ABC is ok with theft aka eliminating property rights.

[CPOSharky]

It’s the PEOPLE giving voice to the lack of action by the elitist “I know what’s best for you” media apologists and politicians.

She asserted that in the small town of Irving, Texas, "Latino parents have grown so nervous, they're keeping their kids out of schools."

First, the "small town" of Irving, Texas [home of the Dallas Cowboys] has a population of over 200,000 and is part of the Dallas–Fort Worth–Arlington metropolitan area.

Irving contains the Las Colinas area, including the Mustangs at Las Colinas, which is the largest equestrian sculpture in the world. Several large businesses have headquarters in Irving, including Chuck E. Cheese's, ExxonMobil, Gruma, Kimberly-Clark, Michaels Stores, National Care Network, Omni Hotels, Southern Star Concrete, Inc., Xero Hour, Zale Corporation, Fluor Corporation and LXI Enterprise Storage. The city is also home to the national headquarters of the Boy Scouts of America. Part of Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, which serves the cities of Dallas and Fort Worth, is inside the city limits of Irving.

The racial makeup of the city was 64.2% White, 10.2% African American, 0.7% Native American, 8.24% Asian, 0.13% Pacific Islander, 13.4% from other races, and 3.20% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 31.2% of the population. With one-third of the town Hispanic, it makes one wonder how nervous they really are.

How about Mexicans going too far invading my country?

Good Morning America," reporter Claire Shipman fretted over the fact that local governments are aggressively fighting illegal immigration. An ABC graphic worried, "Crackdown on Illegal Immigrants: Have Communities Gone Too Far?"

Hey Claire !!...did ya do any *frettin'* over the 300 illegal criminals being deported a MONTH from ONE jail, in ONE town in TX.??? Irving is simply 'cleaning' up the neighborhood, yet you & many Latiino's whine...I guess y'all miss your criminals.

"Latino parents have grown so nervous, they're keeping their kids out of schools."

Hey Claire !! you *fretted* wrong again......Article in the Dallas News also stated that "Irving schools had PEAK enrollment as of Sept.25"......these JAILED deportations have been going since June 2006 (and going up every month).

So the facts you DON'T report are....'bootin' the criminals out of town has led to PEAK enrollment at Irving schools.

Also saves tax dollars in our jails, courts, interpretors (@ least 25 bucks a hour), & I'm sure the crime rate is down.

Next time your *frettin'* on national TV....get your *frettin' facts right.

[goldstategop]

We're aren't going far enough in cracking down on illegals. Local and state governments are doing the job the federal government won't do.
