That is amusing. Houston is the biggest santuary city in Texas. Without illegals they would loose about half of their population. People are leaving Houston as fast as they are leaving California.

Vary odd statement since No one is leaving Houston like they are leaving California. People are flooding into Houston from every part of the world. Houston is the jobs capital of the U.S. and probably of the world.....The illegals being chased out of other states are coming here. Americans from all over the country are coming here. Illegals from Mexico, South America, India, China, Korea, Vietnam, Pakistan, Russia, Iran and all over the middle East, Cubans from Florida and from Cuba via-Cancun, Mexico are coming here.

I love how supposedly 'poor' illegals can afford a hotel stay. They can afford to pay for coyotes to help them travel here, false documents, stolen identifications etc. etc. but they can't afford to come here through the proper channels.

You MUST watch the video at the link. This is from the same time frame as the above story.

Alleged illegal immigrants taken into custody at home

Friday, March 23, 2012

HOUSTON (KTRK) -- Federal authorities have found dozens of reportedly undocumented immigrants in a three bedroom home in southwest Houston on Hiram Clarke near Fuqua.

Police checking out a tip that some people were being held hostage here for ransom got more than they bargained for. Inside the home, 49 immigrants from four countries suspected of being in this country illegally were being stashed, and neighbors had no clue it was going on.

There are just two bathrooms and three bedrooms for 49 people. The 38 adults and 11 juveniles were forced to live in deplorable conditions.

There was food and dishes scattered everywhere, clothes all over the floor. There were several air mattresses and someone even left behind a stun gun. Also, it looks like there was a recent fire in one of the bathrooms. Neighbor Vito Brown said, "Never noticed anything, real quiet. It looked actually it looked like it was empty."

The alleged illegal immigrants were led out of the house in chains and loaded onto buses that were standing by.

At 8:45am Friday, Houston police were called to the home to investigate a tip that people were being held against their will. When they saw several people run from the home, they called federal immigration agents to assist.

Neighbor Diane Williamson says the owner told her he rented the home to two brothers.

"It's very sad for all those people that were in there," Williamson said. "I wish I would have known. I would have gotten them some help sooner."
All 49 people taken into custody are said to be from Honduras, El Salvador, Guatemala and Mexico. They are being taken to a detention center and will be interviewed and processed.

There's no word if the captors were among those being detained.

Your kind of help isn't exactly what they were looking for. LOL

They'll all claim to be 'dreamers' and ICE will be forced to let them go under the BozO administration orders, or the ICE agents will be prosecuted...

If thats the case, then I feel sorry for you....it won't be the "jobs capital" for long if they let every Tom, Dick, Harry, and Julio in for all those jobs.
