With the threat of a so-called “immigrant tsunami,” Collin County Commissioner Mark Reid invited the public to attend commissioner’s court on Monday –- and they did.
It was standing room only at the county building, as people sounded off about housing immigrant children, despite there being no current plans to do so in Collin County.
Residents packed the meeting, with an overwhelming majority speaking out against any plan to bring children to the county. There are plans to house as many as 2,000 children in nearby Dallas County.
Commissioners are discussing a resolution that says housing minors suspected of being in the U.S. illegally is not in the best interests of our citizens.
A few spoke out against the resolution, like Cody Rodriguez, who said, “the people of Collin do not turn away from children.” Most others supported it.
Barbara Harliss said, “What we see is not immigration, but an invasion, a deliberate invasion.”
Concerns about crime and disease were raised. Mike Giles said resources should not be taken from American children to care for others.
“Don’t force our community, our county to do this. Do it on your own,” said Hugh Cabanaro.
Darryl Rivard of Prosper echoed those comments, saying, “America is dying. Lazy, uneducated moochers and parasites have infested this nation, and they are rapidly becoming the majority.”
Another meeting for citizen input is scheduled for next week.

More info. on it. Most people support the resolution. One stupid retired educator by the last name Rodriguez (probably an immigrant herself) opposes it of course and is playing the “children” card. What a bitch.

“Hill had to stop proceedings on a few occasions to call order back to the meeting, as the crowd would become restless and make loud comments while others were taking their turn to speak.”
Someone by the name of Bethany Carson from Allen ought to have her head examined.
“Bethany Carson, a lifelong resident of Allen, spoke eloquently about how the resolution does not represent her or reflect the spirit and identity of Collin County.
“Preemptively rejecting shelter to immigrant children who are fleeing life threatening situations, before even considering the details of a specific request, sends a message of hatred,” she said. “Not only to these children but also to county residents of certain ethnic backgrounds.”
Carson said that the provision stating any child suspected of being in the county illegally should be isolated and quarantined would lead to racial profiling and further mistrust of law enforcement.
“We have nothing to fear from immigrant children,” Carson said. “They should not be viewed as an illegal immigrant tsunami or parasites, but refugees who deserve our care and compassion as fellow human beings.””

Must be another 501C3 church
Camacho is another one that needs his head examined. He sounds like an immigrant himself.
“Camacho, executive director of the Baptist Immigration Center, is a long-time advocate who has been fighting for immigrant families in court since the late 1980s. His office is in Collin County, in the city of McKinney.
He said it’s hard to turn his back on children.
“If you could speak with them, you will see that in the beginning, when they try to say what happened, they start shaking and crying,” Camacho said.””
Next meeting will be on Monday at 1:30pm for those in Collin County who want to attend. I plan on being there.
