Mayors say Bush plan threatens border trade
PHARR, Texas Some Texas mayors believe President Bush's immigration reforms could cripple border trade by leaving Rio Grande bridges short-staffed and underfunded.
Bush tomorrow is scheduled to tour the Rio Grande Valley sector of the Border Patrol before making comments on his immigration plan.
The proposal calls for a dramatic increase in agents and detention space, a path toward citizenship for long-time illegal immigrants and a limited temporary worker program.
McAllen Mayor Richard Cortez was the only one to attend a news conference today endorsed by his counterparts in Pharr, Mission, Edinburg and Hidalgo.
Cortez says Bush's plan focuses on illegal immigration between legal ports, but neglects the need to quickly move legitimate traffic on the bridges connecting Texas and Mexico.Please support our fight against illegal immigration by joining ALIPAC's email alerts here https://eepurl.com/cktGTn
