The mayor of the Houston promised to personally defend undocumented immigrants who be may hesitant to seek help in the aftermath of Harvey over fears of being deported.
Mayor Sylvester Turner said he would represent any immigrant who faces deportation after seeking help during the storm relief efforts.
If you are in a stressful situation, I dont care who you are, I dont care what youre religion is, I dont care what your language is, you come and take advantage of every service that we have, Turner added.
The city of Houston also sought to reassure immigrants who may be seeking shelter.
We will not ask for immigration status or papers from anyone at any shelter, the city said in a tweet late Monday night. This rumor is FALSE!

What illegal immigrant is going to be “afraid to come forward” rather than die a horrible death? That’s a tough choice?
They’re criminals but they aren’t stupid.
Aim small, miss small.
KAL. And help the humble and peaceful.
I wish I could get down there in person to help out...I’ve kicked out some $ but I’d do more if I could. TX is my adopted home, my new family. God help South Texas.
Remember when Cancun was hit with a massive hurricane a few years back and was cut off? Idiot AMERICANS there were DEMANDING the US ARMY come in and rescue them.
Any such demands for the Army of Mexico to do the same at Houston?

Houston mayor promises to defend immigrants amid Harvey devastation
Wouldnt that be harboring? Thats illegal and should be prosecutable if he actually does it.

Aiding and abetting. BOTH quite illegal as well. I suspect using taxpayer funds for the benefit of criminals is ALSO illegal...
Maybe someone should wake Sessions to point out he’s got a *JOB* to do (someday)
>
Uh, yeah... we will help people in need. Its the right thing to do.

Who’s WE, Kimosabe?
He’s going to pick winners-n-losers, using TAXPAYER $$$$, pulled from *THEIR* pocket by force of a gun.
He’s just given the 2x-middle-finger to TX/local taxpayers AND lawful Citizens w/ his illegality.
People in Houston truly believe in this Turner fellow.
I was thinking quite a few will want to return to New Orleans for the last weeks of the popular Landrieu administration.
He he wont...he’s anti-immigration...
He plans to put the illegal aliens before American citizens...
They don’t plan to have anyone prove they actually live in the disaster area ???
great opportunity for bums from other states to get the supplies and housing and money that should go to the local people with flooded homes...
Mexico has the very same policy, yes?
Oh yes they don’t have to live in Houston...the mayor just said so...
“People who are coming from other places”
that would definitely include his pet illegal aliens...
I hope his black constituents kick up a fuss when they have to stand in line after the illegal aliens for a bed at the shelters etc...
They're elected by the taxpaying citizens of their cities. And yet they are always "worried" about the illegals.
Focus on helping your legal citizens and not putting them in danger from illegals' crimes.
It's like these idiots don't understand their priorities. Going out of their way to help illegals is not one of them.
