Farmers Branch, Texas: Passes Anti-"illegal" Immigration Ordinance The nation's first vote on an ordinance targeting illegal immigrants by barring them from renting apartments highlighted a resentment of the federal government's failure to secure the nation's borders – and a desire to do something about it at the local level, said City Council member Tim O'Hare, who was the driving force behind the ordinance. "They are saying loud and clear they want change in Farmers Branch," he said. "People recognize we have a problem, and they are proud we stood up. This is nothing but positive results for Farmers Branch."
In a BOLD move to prevent Mexicans Nationals from usurping the US Constitution, the city of Farmers Branch, Texas, ...has passed an ordinance of "No More" which, enforces a Federal law that makes it "Criminal" to harbor illegal immigrates.
