Dallas mayor wants federal funds for alien entitlements

Posted 03 Jul 2007 in illegal immigration, multiculturalism

Now that our newly-elected mayor has taken the oath of office, he’s wasted no time in pandering to illegal immigrants, displaying his willingness to hand out our tax dollars to the criminals in our city.

The Dallas Morning News – Tom Leppert’s mayoral victory was less than a week old when the lobbying intensified from an unusual camp: immigrants.

They wanted an office of immigrant affairs, dedicated to assimilating immigrants, legal and illegal, into the city of Dallas.

There’s urgency, they argued: Congress’ decision not to revamp the nation’s immigration system heightens the need for cities to take action. In Dallas, one of four people is foreign-born.

At a victory reception held by Latino groups for the new mayor Thursday, Mr. Leppert said he is committed to opening an office of immigrant affairs.

The proposed office could focus on connecting the foreign-born to social service agencies in the city, Ms. Herrmann said, and on teaching immigrants about basic services, such as how 911 works for emergencies and how to use the Dallas Public Library.

“One of the major things that this office would have to work on is to let the immigrants know about all the resources to learn to speak and write English and about educating their children and about knowing the laws so that they can obey the laws,” she said.

Teaching immigrants to speak English and assimilate into our country is admirable. But make it for LEGAL immigrants only. Require proof of legal residency, or better yet, American citizenship. Otherwise, why do we want to provide a taxpayer-funded impetus to our illegal alien problem?

If someone breaks into your home and steals from you, do you take the time to show them around your place and make sure they know just where all your valuables are so next time they can come back and take what they want whenever they have a need? Do you give them a small bell they can ring to summon you to wait on their needs?

Or do you call the police and have the greedy intruder removed?

Sadly, it seems our new mayor is bent on making the American taxpayers into bitches for the illegal immigrant population.

But wait, it gets better. If the alien-appeasers can’t find a way to redirect tax funds into this travesty, they’re calling for private funding to make it happen.

The city began its budget process two weeks ago, and the budget does not currently fund an office of immigrant affairs. But Mr. Salazar said he would introduce a proposal for an office later this month. The cost is yet to be determined.

The chief expense for the Houston office – the $56,000-a-year salary of the director – comes out of federal community development block grants, said Frank Michel, a city spokesman.

Others said they’re prepared for financing snafus. “If they say there’s no money, we can get some funding from the private sector,” said Roberto Chavarría, a leader from the Mexican homestate association of Michoacán.

Well, if we use this as an example, does that mean that if the federal government won’t deport illegal immigrants, we can find funding in the private sector to get it done?

Don’t use our tax dollars to fund illegal immigrants, Mayor Leppert.
