URGENT ANTI-SANCTUARY CITY HEARINGS: MARCH 2 & 3‏

An interesting post from www.ircot.com about sanctuary cities in Texas. This follows this previous post  about illegal aliens in Texas and this post which shows that there are 30,000 openly illegal immigrants in the border town of El Paso. On a related note, you can read about Miss Kentucky Latina here, an interesting article about Jessica Alba here or another article about Salma Hayek here. For more that you can do to get involved click HERE and you can read a very interesting book HERE!
