Lighting up Feliz Navidad or Farmers Branch revisited

by Larry James of of Urban Daily

Imagine my surprise at a television news report last Saturday night picturing the beginning of the Christmas season, and just as fall arrives!

According the the story, a Christmas lighting company has already begun hanging decorative holiday lights in Highland Park and in Farmers Branch. Millions of lights will be put in place over the next 10-12 weeks, the lighting company owner reported.

Highland Park Village and a public park in Farmers Branch were pictured as examples of the several places the work is underway.

Seems like the Christmas season arrives earlier every year.

But, that's not my point here.

Care to guess who was hard at work stringing those lights up in the branches of trees right there in the Farmers Branch park?

Mexican workers.

Now, don't get me wrong. I'm sure all of those gentlemen had the proper papers to document their "legal status" in the country. What do you think?

Of course, I can think of nothing the political leadership in Farmers Branch needs more than a little of the Christmas spirit!

Feliz Navidad!

Turn on the light, and hurry!

Stanley, says:

I think the people of Farmer's Branch have every right to try to maintain the quality of life of their community. And that 10 or more people living in a 900 square foot home isn't good for them or their neighbors.

I think if there weren't 20,000,000 illegal immigrants here, wages would be higher and there would be fewer of the working poor that you have dedicated your life to helping.

I think our politicians shouldn't buy votes by giving away citizenship to people who are just here for a job and loyal to another country.

I think a guest worker program, not amnesty is the only reasonable course.

Thanks for asking.
