Found this by using Google:

There are more than a dozen so called 'sanctuary cities' across the United States, from Portland Oregon to Chicago to Houston. The Sanctuary City policy generally forbids local law enforcement officers from checking on, or reporting, a person's immigration status. Austin passed its sanctuary city law in 1997. Supporters say it fosters 'trust' between officials and immigrants, and say they're afraid that without such protections, illegals would be unwilling to report crimes and would become easy prey for criminals.

But Burns says Sanctuary City laws violate federal statute.

"Cities, counties, local governments are forbidden from prohibiting, or in any way restricting, their employees from communicating with federal immigration authorities," Burns said. "The city of Austin's policies are clearly in violation of that."

Looks like we need a series of citizen revolts.

Thanks to both of you. I didn't know about this and am furious. Texas is being taken over and our own city governments are aiding and abetting. Unbelievable! I have supported George Bush's foreign policy up until now, but it's time for him to stop coddling Vicente Fox, seal our border, and deport anybody who isn't here legally. Not that I'm holding my breath.....
