Maybe they finally repealed that ordinance.  You used to have to drive to Carrollton to get a flat fixed. Tire repair shops were considered "unsightly".

Indeed some of them are very unsightly. Plenty of 'em Dallas with old tires stacked high in piles all over their property.

I support FB on this issue

I've been in farmers branch recently, and a section of it is turning into no-kidding mexico-north.  The walmart there is totally trashed, and nobody speaks english.  Finding a store employee that speaks english is a minor miracle.  If they were well behaved, then no biggie but the customers at that store are mostly Mexican and they've literally trashed the inside of the store.  Piles of merchandise taken from the shelves and discarded on the floor at the checkout lines, etc.

I'm 100% with farmers branch on this.  Heck, I'm with anyone who has any solution, no matter how whacky, to stop illegal immigration.  Almost my entire life, I've been negatively affected by illegal immigrants and the problems they have brought into the US.  From overwhelming hospitals, to car theft, to sucking dry public services and overwhelming public transportation, to demanding special priveledges that no other immigrant community demands (dual language government services comes to mind... what other immgrant community has EVER demanded that the US govt provide all services in any language other than English?) they're poor neighbors and even worse invaders.

The ones who come into the US legally are just fine in my book, because they're becoming citizens.  The rest are nothing short of an invasion of conquest.  How would the world see it if US citizens flooded any other country illegally, set up camp in their hospitals, and demanded that everyone in sight start speaking english and providing them with free stuff?  No country in the world would put up with that.

there is a huge reason that mexico is like it is; and the southern us along with some limited northern areas are like they are.

It is not legal immigration causing the problem.


Just an fyi, we fired two sub contractors on our job for using illegal immigrants.  We also notifed federal authorities to the breaches.  Nothing was done to my knowledge by the feds.

It all goes back to my main gripe, stop employing these people and prosecute the employers who are, why is this never being done?

Taxes. Those businesses that illegally employ illegals pay the bills.

I hope your wrong there, but somehow I think your right, it's a disgrace, these businesses should be prosecuted, why are the Senators and congressmen not standing up and clamping down on this?

The Senators and Congressmen don't have to do a thing on this, they did all that in 1986.

The INS are the ones that have chosen not to prosecute for some strange reason.

Yep.   Heck the INS were the root cause of the "DC Sniper" case.

For the "naysayers":

Lee Boyd Malvo (alias John Lee Malvo, the teenager) and his mother (Una James) were apprehended near Seattle by the Border Patrol in January of 2002.  

Malvo and his mother were smuggled into the US aboard a ship late in 2000.   James worked in Naples, FL.   But the teenager Malvo moved onto Washington State to join up with John Muhammad, whom they both met in Antigua (prior to being smuggled in).  

Dec. 2001, Una then moved to Washington.   She ask police to find her son, who she suspected wa sunder the influence of Muhammad.  Soon after the cops picked up Malvo, they realized they were both "illegal aliens".   They were turned over to the Border Patrol, where the agents did the paperwork to have the mother and son deported.

Enter a moron named Blake Brown, an Seattle INS official.   He did not want them deported.   He ordered the BP to change the pair's status "so they could stay in the US, pending an immediate hearing".   The BP refused, so Brown took the unilateral steps and changed the designation HIMSELF, potentially violating the Immigration Reform Act.   Malvo and his mother were released into the wind.  

In doing so Malvo confessed to over 12 murders.  

The INS is a joke.
