In their ever widening search for illegal aliens the City of Farmer's Branch is now targeting every person that rents. Just because you don't want illegal aliens in your town is no reason to invade the right to privacy of every person in the name of your witchhunt.
Talk about your Nazi's wanting papers...

There was a news story here in Houston from a couple of days ago. It appears the coyotes (the POS's that traffic illegals across the border) were housing the illegals in an apartment stripped of their clothing so they couldn't run away. Something about guaranteeing they get their payment. I'm think if they're naked how the **** are they going to work to earn money?

Diablo, have you seen Fast Food Nation? Interesting film.

No.
But there are plenty of 'interesting' films I haven't seen either.

It's worth watching. One of the storylines revolves around illegals and coyotes.
-
Ok.
But what the hell does that have to do with getting obese on Big Macs?
Oh, nevermind. I'm thinking of Supersize Me.
My bad.

Proud to see the illegal problem is being taken seriously for a change.
It could be handled for the most part by actualy enforcing laws already in place.
So...........are they going to put a Closed sign up in Plano? :rofl

A bit on the local news last night. Sonora Mexico is having to start making plans to support all of the illegals returning because of the new work law implemented in Arizona. They are complaining about having to take care of their own people instead of the US doing it for them.
-
Where's Mr No Name? I'd think he'd cheer this, because his posts seem to suggest that illegals are on par with suitcase nukes in terms of immediate danger.
"To hell with your quaint 'constitution', search ALL the apartments! One of them might be here!"
blah blah blah illegals don't have rights blah blah blah, the problem here of course is all the legit citizens having their apartments searched.

No..the people of Plano have forbidden any and all signage. They don't want to advertise they have "illegals".
They are hoping that they can be so snobby and self-important that anyone who is entering their Burb will want to leave immediately:huh

Overall personal Privacy is not a big concern for me. The things I want kept private are private and those things that I have no control over are mitigated with my right to keep and bear arms. As long as I can point a gun barrel at the face of my instigators I am not worried. Take away my right to pursuade you to leave me alone and I get hell worried real fast.
And yeah......keep talking about loss of privacy, cant do any harm.
So, heres my list of important things:
Right to keep and bear arms
Everything else falls into place quite nicely.

Not to address the immigrant side of this story, I can't believe home-owners/landlords didin't object to this more strongly. If I live in a metropolitan area and am renting, am I, a potential client more or less inclined to rent in Farmers Branch if I have to go apply for a license before I rent your apartment. I'm curious as to any studies on rental vacancies before and after the 2006 city ordinance was enacted. To me it would seem the tax-paying, law abiding landlords are harmed with this. Sort of like my current place of residency, they ban business signage larger than 3x4 feet and no higher than 5 or 6 feet. Due to the business unfriendly nature of my city, the adjoining city has a booming business community while ours is a pure bed-room community. Try doing city improvements without million dollar companies providing a large portion of that bill.

i dont want to live in the "PAPERS PLEASE" world any more than any other, but until the real reason for the illegals to be here is fixed that is what we are faced with!
anyone care to guess how to stop the desire of these people to come to this place?
i have some of the answers but i want to see if there are others who really understand the true problem!
hints:minimun wage ,unemployment,health care,labor laws,goverment telling bussines how to conduct itself!
ok wipe that look off you face, im not talking about there rights, im talking about yours.
the ability to exist without having to work has caused a need for labor to fill our place,
minimum wage has created a need for cheap labor by those bussinesses that cant afford to pay the wage prescribed by law,
employers dont have to pay social security for illegals giving them cheap labor while paying a better wage, in most cases
labor laws that protect us dont apply to the illegals in most cases, hence cheap labor,
these laws designed to protect us have caused our downfall by allowing others to fill the jobs we refuse to do either because of the pay or conditions of the jobs, we all want it done we just dont want to do it for what its worth!
our bussines law is not free enterprise, if it was a free market would exist and most of these problems would'nt! yet the polititions will not change the current way of things as it might take away from there ability to rule, there ability to make us think there helping us!
our health care system is something we should be proud of, we help those in need in most cases even if you cant pay! why wouldnt others wish to come here for that,
there is no good cure for this problem as i like haveing the best health care around , so we may have to export this to other countries as fast as possible maybe instead of a multi billion dollar new i d card system we could spend that money teaching medicine to the illegals we have here now then send them home to make that place as good as this!
I KNOW DREAM ON! RIGHT
ok i will.

A small town in California tried that and the aclu and others forced the town to back down as a result California passed a law in 2008 that says:
"Cities and counties will not longer be allowed to require landlords to verify the citizenship of their tenants. This law was a direct result of an attempt by a city in Southern California to require landlord to screen the citizenship status of potential tenants."
http://www.chs-law.com/2007/12/new-california-laws-for-2008.html
I'm sure the aclu is on its way.

i rent out two houses, i run a background check on all prospective renters and charge them for it (applied to first months rent if i rent to them).
i understand most if not all landlords do this, how much more trouble would it be to check to see if they are in the country legally?

Liberal democrats tend to view this as an invasion of privacy.

Seems the town doesn't want illegals or your kind there. If you didn't move there I don't think they'd have a problem with that.
My opinion is the Illegals are top priority now.
The crowding, traffic, cost in hospitols plus much more would helped dramatically if they were removed.

Can illegals vote? If so, would they tend to vote for the party that wanted to provide them with benifits or with the party that wanted to enforce the law?
