Madam Speaker. according to the Dallas Morning News. "Farmers Branch. Texas. on Monday adopted strict measures against illegals. requiring apartment renters to provide proof of citizenship or residency and making English the citys official language." "The city also unanimously agreed to let police apply to participate in a Federal program that would enable them to check the residency status of suspects that they arrest and initiate deportation proceedings in certain cases. These measures. believed to be the first of their kind in the State of Texas. brought cheers from some supporters. but sparked anger among some Hispanics." Madam Speaker. cities across the Nation are taking positive action in dealing with illegals. These are commonsense steps the Federal Government has refused to take for political reasons. Of course. the proillegal immigrant crowd has threatened lawsuits. It seems odd that illegals can use American courts to prevent cities from enforcing laws against illegal entry. The example of Farmers Branch.
