There is White America and then there is everyone else.
America the beautiful. MAGAs are determined to pick up as many Black and Brown people […]

Somehow, the police and or ICE seem to know which cars to stop. How is that possible?
They would flee to the Americas seeking freedom. The USA is no longer the land of the free but the one making citizens show them their papers.
Annise Parker votes for Republicans. Houston Chronicle likes their politicians to kiss the asses of the Donald Trumps and the Greg Abbotts of the world.
We need more people like Ms. Salinas who are willing to stand up for what is right. We can not be Jews in Nazi Germany; the same thing that happened is certainly possible today with the people in charge of our nation and in this state, Texas.
I doubt that John Whitmire or the HPOU, Police Union, will let the citizens know who has so much authority as to sign such a contract without a vote from the police officers.
Even children wearing bunny caps will be detained and turned over to ICE.
If you listen very carefully, what you won’t find is that John Whitmire crowing that so many more recruits are joining the ranks of police officers. John Whitmire is a braggart, and he would be bragging about it if it were so.
I still don’t trust Democrats as presidents. I told my wife Obama is not going to keep his promise to the Latinos, he didn’t, never voted for him, never would. Like Clinton, he wanted Republicans to like him.
What the HPOU representative is doing is something that Republicans have mastered: how to make Muslims, Illegals, transgender people, or anyone else that they are targeting a bogeyman.
Basically, what our mayor, John Whitmire, says is, yes, we’re going to call ICE, but don’t be afraid to call us. He must not think that we’re too smart.
I am sure that the Mayor of Houston will crow like a rooster about how he brought crime down in Houston, when the reality is that people are not reporting crimes, which they would have if they trusted the police.
Now, the governor of Texas, Greg Abbott, only has to call John Whitmire and tell him what he wants done. So why do we need a puppet to be our mayor?
f you want to see what our Houston Police Officers union thinks of undocumented persons here in Houston, you don’t have to look any further than a letter that they put out today after the City Council voted to stop the waste of police officers’ time waiting for ICE to maybe show up. Or the damage they have done to any type of relations that they had with the immigrant community.
Yes, Chavez and many others called them Wetbacks, so what? The people she is referring to are worse; not only are they mojados, but they are also scabs.
If HPD seems to think that the immigrant community is ignorant of what they are doing, they are sorely mistaken. Whitmire and his policy have made Houston much more dangerous for us. People who would normally call in crimes will not do so, especially if their freedom is at risk or the risk of being separated from their families here.
I am not surprised that the Hispanic leadership here in Houston has not criticized him. Too many of them owe their political careers to him. Before running for office, almost without exception, they went to kiss the Don’s ring.
Calling HPD to report a crime can result in a person who is undocumented being detained while ICE comes to pick him or her up.
Operation Wetback, did not work the way two leading organization pushing for Mexican-Americans thought it would.
The killings by ICE have been going on for a long time, how many others have they covered up?
