Ordinance declares English town's official language, limits flying foreign flags, denies benefits

After a heated public meeting Tuesday night that was repeatedly interrupted by boos and applause, the Pahrump Town Board adopted an ordinance that targets illegal immigrants.

The ordinance declares English the town's official language, sets restrictions on flying foreign flags and denies town benefits to undocumented immigrants.

Approval of the ordinance was met with a standing ovation and cheers by many of the approximately 250 people at the meeting.

A lot of these local ordinances are now cropping up - with expected court challenges. Will be interesting to see how this all turns out.

Meanwhile, Congress now makes it plain that the whole border fence deal shoved through in October was just a scam...

I understand that no state entity can legislate anything to do with immigrants, legal or illegal. All of these community efforts will be struck down. Too bad. But at least if congress would listen, they might get a clue as to the national sentiment on illegals.

Another American community has now had enough of the Bush, Kennedy, Clinton, McCain, Giuliani invasion. Good for them. We may have to take back our county one city at a time.

Let me remind everyone that shagging ass across the border does not equal immigration. It's a crime folks!

Arizona just passed a ballot measure making English the offical language of the entire STATE.

It passed with 70% of the populace voting FOR it.

But on the plus side, the one angle that could survive any court challenge is code enforcement. Eliminate the 50 illegals living in a one bedroom, the cars on the front lawn, the trash and the animals, and you have destroyed the illegal's business model - it becomes prohibitively expensive when one illegal has to pay all the rent and all those fines...

--no--Nye County-(third largest geographically in the 48 contiguous states) has five--there are none in the city limits of Pahrump--

--several other rural counties have them--

LOL

Been years since I was in Pahrump - last was on the "Baker to Vegas" run.

The ladies were up at the junction of Hwy 95 and 160, Lathrop Wells IIRC.

Another thing to go after, or at least keep a close eye on..."Iglesias Evangelistas"--they are often run by a facilitator of illegal immigration.

These Godfathers are in contact with some hometowns in Mexico by phone, arrange the crossings, finds the jobs and the housing. All out of the goodness of his heart, of course. And I'm sure those storefront "Envios Dineros" are in on the arrangements, too.

They don't just arrive cold. All of this is organized. And those organizers could be charged with a lot of conspiracies.

Just think what would happen if thousands of communities passed these laws. It would tie-up the left for years!

Miraglia countered the racism allegations aimed at him by turning them around.

"Who's refusing to speak English? The ones promoting that people should speak their own language are racist," he said.

He's right. Pro illegal Latinos are racist. If the illegal invaders were French they'd get no support from them.
