The League City council passed a resolution on Tuesday night to ban undocumented children from entering the municipality.

League City Council Member Heidi Thiess drafted the measure, which declines to accept federal requests to operate detention or processing centers in the city. "Health concerns" were cited among the reasons for the proposed ordinance.

More than 25 residents spoke during the public comment section of Tuesday's council meeting, which followed a public workshop on Monday night.

The resolution passed 6-2. Council members Thiess, Dan Becker, Todd Kinsey, Geri Bentley, Andy Mann and Mayor Timothy Paulissen voted in favor. Council members Dennis OKeeffe and Joanna Dawson were opposed.

1. You cannot ban people from your town

Period.

A person could be registered sex offender with a rap sheet a mile long. You still can't ban him.

2. I hope that they never try to claim to be

a Christian community because they are not.

9. The reality is that they are "Christian"!

Just not the kind of Christian that Christ was talking about...

[herding cats]

3. Do they even have facilities which were being considered?

No. Didn't think so. BS move because of the children who were recently taken in by Houston.

Hate filled jerks. These are children who need a place to lay their heads! Someday they may need a hand up and there will ne no one there to help them too.

4. deport conservatives not the children

How about we ask president obama to deport ted cruz back to canada and these racists back to europe native americans didn't invite them here either!

5. They can't all be like this, but

I have such a bad impression of TX. Doesn't anyone stand up to these assholes?

[atreides1]

10. Some do

But it just doesn't matter, because they have no influence...and no one really cares about what they have to say!

13. Dallas is preparing to shelter 2000 of these children.

Laredo non-profits and private individuals have mobilized to provide stranded kids and their mothers with food, shelter, shower facilities, clean clothes and phones to contact relatives already in the US.

No, we aren't all "like this."

15. Thank you. That's good to hear. n/t

16. Yes! We do! It is useless to argue with them, you have to try talking to the fence sitters, the

rest are a waste of time and an aggravation.

6. How is this legal?

7. Randy Weber represents that district in the House of Representatives. His webpage:

Congressman Randy Weber
Representing the 14th District of Texas

Weber Acts to Stopgap Illegal Entry to United States.

Washington, D.C. – Congressman Randy Weber (R-Friendswood) today introduced H.R. 5014, the Illegal Entry Accountability Act of 2014. The legislation would hold Mexico, Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador accountable for illegal immigration by immediately suspending all U.S...

Bless his little heart.

Rep. Weber speaks on the House floor in favor of the NASA Reauthorization bill.

This is where we saw a local Tea Partier who worked at NASA cheering last year's federal government shutdown and calling for default. Because they know they won't be effected. In fact, they want more funding for themselves and don't care who dies. Nice bunch, a far cry from the people who worked for NASA back in the day of the moon landing.

U.S. Representative Randy Weber has been named as a recipient of the 2014 Thomas Jefferson Award by the International Foodservice Distributors Association (IFDA).

I'm sure Jefferson is barfing off a cloud somewhere at this alleged honor.

Well, looky here. The 14th is Ron Paul's old district:

Nothing to see here, move along.

8. Oh great! More useless legislation.

F*** those potholes in the road! Let's piss and moan about things with have no control or jurisdiction over.

[YOHABLO]

11. If there is a health concern .. give them a check up and vaccines.

This is a humanitarian issue .. call in the Red Cross, the World Health Organization .. let's give these children the help they need.

12. Agree. Rumors are floating all

over the net about lice and TB.

17. Those health concerns are why we need to have these children legalized

They need to be able to get vaccinated.

[sinkingfeeling]

18. I just don't get it. What the hell is there to fear about an 8 year-old from Central

America? Is he going to take your job? Is he going to poison the water? What is the matter with all these white, Fox watching, so-called Christians?

[SwankyXomb]

19. What's next?

No black people allowed in town after sundown?

20. These pervs just want a reason to stop and frisk kids. nt
