The immigration debate is back in the spotlight in North Texas. The City of Farmers Branch will once again take up the issue of renting homes and apartments to illegal immigrants.
Although voters in May approved an ordinance to stop landlords from doing so, a judge’s ruling has prevented the law from taking effect.
“Now they’re changing the rules of the game. Now they’re penalizing everybody. This not only penalizes immigrants, it also penalized home owners and non-Hispanics who have to go through the process,” said Hispanic activist Carlos Quintanilla of ACCION America.”*
