League City Police "Crack Down" on Illegal Aliens

Ah, justice at last. According to 1070 AM radio yesterday, League City, Texas police are cracking down on illegal aliens that congregate to solicit day labor work.

Of course, the illegals have been doing it for years while the law turned a blind eye to people who break the law in multiple ways - sneaking across the border illegally, working without a social security number, not paying employment-related taxes yet consuming social services, etc.

So why the sudden move by the city? According to the Houston radio station, the illegals had the gall to expand operations beyond convenience store parking lots to, gasp, the police station parking lot.

Not only were they soliciting illegal work (that's OK; wink, wink, nod, nod) but they had the nerve to actually litter in the parking lot and whistle at female police officers. Now, that's crossing the line, buster!

This is a huge problem in the entire Houston metroplex area, make no mistake about it. We've seen how it's brought down the economy in California. Yet Houston mayor Bill White continues to wear blinders and continues the city's sanctuary city stance. Pure folly.


But it's easy to take that liberal stance when you're a politician and not a carpenter, welder, or landscape worker having to compete with under-the-table workers. Yes Bill, let's keep those votes rolling in; everybody likes to have their cheap lawn mowing service.

I did a drive-by of day labor congregation spots this morning along FM 518 in League City. Sure enough, They are not in the convenience store parking lots now. They've re-located to empty lots next to the convenience stores.

I guess LCPD is really putting the fear of God into them. Unfortunately, now we are going to have a traffic issue since there is no parking lot for day labor pick-up.

As a journalistic experiment, I approached the illegals at one labor hook-up spot and asked who would be willing to take $20 for a 1 hour job. They not only laughed at me, they called me a "pinche bolillo". (They didn't realize I'm bilingual.)

Gratitude is everything, yes? I'm all for helping my fellow man, but not when he takes food off my plate, spits in my face, and my elected officials favor illegals over citizens.
