A group in Spring, TX (a few miles north of Houston) is doing the work that Congress won’t do — they’re trying to do something about the proliferation of illegal immigration and Day Labor Work Sites (which cater almost exclusively to illegal immigrants) in their neighborhoods.
The group, U.S. Border Watch, has started observing known day labor sites and reporting illegal hirings. They show up at places where illegal immigrants are known to gather waiting on contractors to pick them up for day jobs — and it appears to be working.
A similar scene has unfolded over the past months at the busy intersection of Steubner-Airline and Wimbelton Estates Drive in northwest Harris County. The day laborers, many of them undocumented, gather each morning in the Speedo gas station parking lot.
And nearly every Saturday morning since September, dozens of Border Watch members have attempted to drive them away. They chant slogans, wave signs and film employers who pick up immigrants for work.
Far from the halls of Congress and the front lines of the Southwest border, the divisive immigration debate is being played out in local neighborhoods, including the Houston area. A number of groups have upped the ante by moving from debate to confrontation, attempting to take immigration duties into their own hands.
One of the best ways to slow the tide of illegal immigrants coming here is to make it harder for them to find jobs. And that’s what these dedicated border watch groups are doing.
Of course the open borders idiots are all in a fit, screaming “racism” and “fascism” at the border watch groups.

And what kind of people show up to support illegal activities in the US? That’s right — college professors:
”Border Watch has been out here for several weeks harassing the day laborers, and we’re out here to oppose the racism and harassment,” said David Michael Smith, a professor at the College of the Mainland in Texas City. He has helped sponsor protests by the International Socialist Organization and the Progressive Workers Organizing Committee, among others.
A college professor who’s a socialist? No way!
And what does this Lunatic Leftwing Liberal teach our children down in Texas City?
That’s right — U.S. Government.
I’ll bet Prof. Smith is completely unbiased and open to the free expression of conservative thought in his classroom, though.
Ane what does Prof. Smith’s wife do? Why she shapes the minds of young children too — “Smith’s wife, Rona, an elementary school counselor…”
Are are so many young kids liberals these days? Because that’s the direction that their teachers, professors, and counselors are bending them.
Of course for many of them, they’ll join the real world after graduation, get a job, start paying taxes, and start a family. And then they’ll become Republicans.
As always, it falls to concerned citizens to make things right, not government.
