Boycott and vigil planned Friday in Farmers Branch over 7-year-old immigration controversy | Dallas Morning News

“There’s no work, no school and no shopping,” said Quezada, a small business owner who lives in Plano and was in Farmers Branch this afternoon passing out flyers.

First of all, no school? Way to shoot yourself in the foot, moron.

Second, you live in Plano, not Farmer's Branch. You don't have skin in this game...just more ethnocentric demands.

Well I see this and that complicates the issue.

"Their persistence has even brought in $600,000 in financing from outsiders, including real estate heir Trammell S. Crow."

So you have the evil developer throwing money in the mix so it becomes immigrants vs. developers.

That is lousy he has to get involved and makes me suspicious this is bigger than they headline. It is so easy for some to go against the immigrants illegal and legal instead of looking at the real issues. Political voting rather than voting for what is ethically correct. If Trammel's dirty money is involved, tread carefully.

"Quintanilla said certain city leaders want to push out low-income immigrants, whether they’re in the U.S. unlawfully or lawfully." This Quintanilla sound like he has a good point.

It is happening here in Austin too. The developers are powerful and all who are lower income no matter their ethnicity are having a hard time finding affordable housing.

This was an issue before Trammell Crow threw one red cent into the mix. It continued to be an issue during the financial crisis/real estate bubble when some developers and commercial mortgage brokers were in serious trouble.

Developers may smell blood in the water now, but it's not like Farmers Branch is prime real estate. For furniture warehouses, maybe.
