DallasNews.com ^ | 05/12/2007

Early voters in Farmers Branch strongly favored an ordinance that would make the city the first in the nation to prohibit landlords from renting apartments to most illegal immigrants, according to results released Saturday evening by Dallas County election officials. In early voting, 76.3 percent of voters approved Ordinance 2903, while 23.7 were against. None of the results from Saturday's voting at the city's 18 precincts had been released.

The local and national media tried their best to slant this in the favor of illegals. However, the ordinance will probably pass by a margin of 75% or greater.

The election results are now coming in. I will post them as I get them. If someone else here in TX can update results that would be great. This ordinance is unique in that it makes it illegal to rent to illegals. Never been done before.

THey have not posted any of today’s results as of 7:41. I suspect it will be a shocker. Will enjoy watching the local media spin the results tonight.

This is not the live voting from today. This just the breakdown of the votes cast in advance of today. However, this result on the advance vote, which was more than the total vote in the last Farmer's Branch election, pretty well assures that the final result will be heavily in favor of the ordinance.

The local media accurately predicted these results.

Never underestimate the RAT vote in any election. Live results should start by 8:30 CST.

Other places have tried. Now they’ll have to get past the ACLU.

“American” Jihad, Courtesy of the Open Borders Lobby

[snip]Like many other areas, Cherry Hill (home of the Albanian jihadists0 has experienced an exponential growth in the population of illegal aliens. The tiny, neighboring village of Riverside, New Jersey, (approximately eight miles away) is home to only 8,000 people but has seen an influx of 1,500-3,500 illegal aliens in recent years. Last July, the Republican mayor and council adopted the Illegal Immigrants Relief Act, forbidding townspeople from renting property to or hiring illegal aliens. The motion recognized illegal immigration as a force “jeopardizing the public safety of legal residents.” It imposed up to a $2,000 fine on violators, and businesses employing undocumented workers could lose their licenses for up to five years.

The Open Borders Lobby promptly declared war. The ACLU, People for the American Way, the Puerto Rican Legal Defense and Education Fund, the National Coalition of Latino Clergy and Christian Leaders, and a coalition of Riverside business leaders (who profit from cheap illegal labor) filed federal lawsuits seeking to block the ordinance – which has never been enforced

Fox Radio News says the results are running 3 to 1 in favor. Then they do an interview with a woman in near tears talking about not getting to see her husband in Mexico. They next put on a woman in favor of it who talks about ‘an eye for an eye.’

>"This ordinance is unique in that it makes it illegal to rent to illegals. Never been done before."

Next step National ID cards, then chips. It is the ONLY way to weed out the illegals, and islamokazis.

"He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name. This calls for wisdom.

Scary roads ahead campers!!!!!!!

This is why you'll never see a national vote on illegal immigration, those who favor open borders know what the results would be. Instead they'd rather cite phony polls that supposedly show a 70% support for amnesty.

I must say that I am a bit concerned that (even partial election day) results are not available yet. I think the fix is in...

I just hope Cornyn is paying attention as they think about passing a massive amnesty.
