Yet El Cenizo is leading the charge to block a tough new Texas immigration law that requires police to hold criminal suspects for possible deportation, before the measure takes effect Sept. 1. The lawsuit filed by the city pits Mayor Raul Reyes and his tiny outpost of Democrats against the state’s powerful Republican Party. Almost everyone in town is an immigrant from Mexico — or is related to one — and many are here illegally.
“People have been posting that they should make an example out of me and that they should lock me up,” Reyes , who helped draft the federal lawsuit, said in an interview at City Hall. “It’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make for this cause. I know I will be on the right side of history.”

Mr Reyes: are you Ok with being arrested and charged?
Exactly. Start prosecuting these idiots.
Reyes, and other criminals like him, are violating 8 U.S. Code § 1324 - Harboring Illegal Aliens by concealing, harboring, or shielding from detection, or attempting to conceal, harbor, or shield from detection, illegal aliens.
Prison term of 5-10 years per illegal alien harbored, shielded from detection, etc. How long can we make sure he's behind bars in a federal prison?
Illegals being against enforcing our immigration laws? Yeah, I'm not surprised. I have seen more news stories where people here, including legal immigrants and ranchers who live on the border and are delighted that we are finally going to enforce the laws.
Well, I say though that the story is great! Easy catch! Let's go get them and get the job done!
They sit on the border and draw welfare benefits for their anchors unlike immigrants who come here to improve their lives and not mooch off the system. I bet the majority of them are drawing welfare for the anchors AND if they are working, they are breaking the law as they have no right to work here if they are illegal.
and the sad part is the victors write the History so he will eventually be right.
Trump wants to enforce existing law and he is trying his best to do so but we all know that the second a democrat president is elected Trumps legacy will be trashed as a dark spot on Americas history and the illegals will be celebrating their victory all over the country and we will have lost.
When this happens I wonder just how bad the country will have to get before the Lib Dems admit that they made a mistake with open borders and their willing embrace of law breakers?
I think that all Terrorist Attacks in USA have been made by Legal immigrants and even Natives to USA. ¿Any ilegal alien involved in Terrorist Attacks?
On the other Hand How many of you have lost your Jobs because of Illegal immigrants?
How many drywallers lowballed out of their trade by illegals?
How many Roofers?
How many laborers?
I don't need to be a victim to of rape to know that it is wrong and that the criminal needs to be held accountable.
You make a weak argument at best.
How many victims of illegals? Drugs, driving without a license, no insurance, ID Theft, and yes Rape as well. Our prisons are filled with such. We produce a bumper crop of felons on our own. We don't need to import any more of such.

Carpenters. I have a very dear family friend who is a highly skilled master carpenter. He used to earn $25/hr in the 1980s. He hopes he can earn $12/hr now.
Illegal aliens willing to work carpentry jobs for $8/hr have severely undercut his wages.

Yep. I got rear-ended on one of my motorcycles by an illegal alien who spoke no English, had no driver's license, and had no auto insurance. Bent the frame. The bike had to be rebuilt. Miraculously, because I knew what to do in the circumstances of this particular accident, I suffered only minor injuries but the last two toes on my right foot are slightly deformed and paralyzed. I was extremely lucky that was the worst of it.
After a brief comical farce in which the responding LEO was confused because he thought I was driving the car because I am female and the illegal who hit me is male, even though I was sitting on the curb still wearing my gear except for holding my helmet, the LEO became quite irritated that an illegal alien who had no business being behind the wheel let alone in the US had hit a motorcyclist from behind.
Case went to court. Not even a question how it turned out. The car's owner, a legal resident immigrant, had to pay for the damages, which were significant.

They will NEVER admit they are wrong. They double down every time.
My husband along with several co-workers lost their jobs to illegal aliens. Here, in a low income area, illegal aliens have taken the jobs traditionally done by high school and college students. I know of at least 2 places that need to be raided by ICE.
As someone mentioned, roofers using illegal labor are causing citizen contractors to lose work. Also construction jobs. Both have been heavily hit. This is especially difficult for those that live in rural areas.
Also, 1 in every 8 white collar jobs are now held by illegal aliens, so they are certainly taking jobs that Americans WILL do for darn sure.
Although we have many educated as teachers who are citizens, illegal aliens are being hired to teach while our citizens continue to look for work.
And, the bottomline is, illegal aliens have NO RIGHT TO WORK in the USA in conjunction to being here illegally. Detain and deport.
