Just sitting here shaking my head and wondering when our government will start caring about its own LEGAL citizens.

I waited years to immigrate from Europe to the U.S. I wish I could have swam or walked across so if I was ever arrested, I can take a vacation back home to see my folks and walk back again. The Farmers Branch folks were just too frustrated and fed up. Law abiding citizens' (naturalized included) rights are being overlooked in this case.
***A big clarification, the present immigration proposal of paying a $5.000 fine and wait in line is JUST FOR "ROAD TO CITIZENSHIP" proposal. If an illegal decides to get green cards only, and has NO intention on applying for citizenship later, the fine and waiting period DOES NOT apply! How's that for fairness? Won't it be nice if the illegals shown some courtesy and respect to this country? The big question is how much of hardship would it pose to dual income families on the income taxes, school and property taxes, as well as social programs that we all have to chip in.
*Speaking of taxes; one way to stop this crime is to report the illegals, and their employers to the I.R.S. Afterall, isn't this how they finally nailed Al Capone and many other well organized criminals? Isn't there a 10% reward given to a credible reporting of tax fraud from the I.R.S.? Let's help our goverment, and reduce our taxes by collecting the taxes or just a good portion of taxes that are rightfully owed. Do the math if ea. illegal does not report and is short of just $2,000 in taxes ea. year, multiply by just 10% of the 14 million reportly in this country or 1.4 mil. x $2,000 = $2,800,000,000 each year minus enforcement fee. WOW!!! Heck, take this money-yearly, and apply towards projects likes better equipment for the military, VA, Homeland Security, or the liberal's projects like contributing to Health Care or even Global Warming would make all of us pretty happy right?

It's called legislating from the bench.
They did the exact same thing in California in 1994. Californians passed prop 187 by a landslide. This would have been landmark legislation with the potential to turn the tide of the illegal aliens flooding the state and inundating its' social welfare programs.
The ACLU filed suit, one judge set the law aside. In 1998, a Governor that was later impeached and fought against prop 187 decided that prop 187 would go to arbitration and he would take the FOR side. Consequently the bill simply died a slow death without the courts ever hearing it.
Simply put, the will and desire of millions of Californians was subverted by a handful of political elites.
Take a lesson from California and salute the judge with the middle finger of both hands fully extended. Illegal aliens do it every day with regard to our immigration laws so why can't we?
Tell the judge that until the court makes a decision one way or another the law stands!!!

The reason for that law is the right of privacy. Are you getting paid for doing the job of the immigration? Leave the people alone. There are some laws worse than others. Robbing a bank and murder is not even close into comparison of coming into this country illegally.

Unfortunaltly its the good citizens of this great country that are being viloated. The same thing happened out here in Escondido, north of San Diego last year, and all the bleeding heart liberals got all pissy threated lawsuits until the the city dropped it. I believe too that many good American feel the same way and are to afraid to speak up about it. What part of ILLEAGAL do people not understand they are ILLEAGAL

What a joke. It's just becoming too commonplace that criminals have more rights than victims, and in this case it's the average "just trying to live a decent life and keep the law as best as I can" American who's bending over to grab the soap.

Discrimination in housing is a violation of Federal law. A local ordinance does not trump federal law. Even well-purposed, we can't have know-nothing landlords violating people's rights. The people in Farmer's Branch, Texas were both stupid and wrong to make immigration judges out of property owners.

The illegal and their supports have cornered the market on working the system for their own needs. Just wait till the illegals get amnesty, we will be paying, and paying. Then in turn they will bring in the family and friends, both ilegally and llegal

It makes no sense what-so-ever and it is violating the rights of every law abiding citizen.
I can't understand how they can say "no smoking" or "no pets" and it's legal.....but housing illegals is ok. Guess we all might as well just start doing what we darn well please and then hide out in some church or bust into someones home and just take over till people come around to this insanity. Works for them? Why not me?

All Americans rights are being violated. The judges in this country don't know what illegal means anymore. That judge in Texas needs to be remove from the bench or better yet, shot!
