The Dallas Solution
I have a friend who is president of his homeowners association in the suburbs
of Dallas, Texas. They were having a terrible problem with litter near some
of his association's homes. The reason according to my friend is that six
very large, luxurious new houses are being built right next to their
community.
The trash was coming from the Mexican laborers working at the construction
sites and included bags from McDonald's, Burger King and 7-11, plus coffee
cups, napkins, cigarette butts, coke cans, empty bottles, etc. He went to
see the site supervisor and even the general contractor, politely urging them
to get their workers not to litter the neighborhood, to no avail. He called
the city, county, and police and got no help there either.
So here's what his community did. They organized about twenty folks, named
themselves The "Inner Neighborhood Services" group, and arranged to go out at
lunch time and "police" the trash themselves. It is what they did while
picking up the trash that is so hilarious.
They bought navy blue baseball caps and had the initials "INS" embroidered in
gold on the caps.
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand what they hoped people might
mistakenly think the letters really stand for..
After the Inner Neighborhood Services group's first lunch time pickup detail,
with all of them wearing their caps and some carrying cameras, 46 out of the
total of 68 construction workers did not show up for work the next morning --
and haven't come back yet.
It has been ten days now.
The General Contractor, I'm told, is madder than hell, but can't say anything
publicly because he could be busted for hiring illegal aliens. My friend and
his bunch can't be accused of impersonating federal personnel, because they
have the official name of the group recorded in their homeowner association
minutes along with a notation about the vote to approve formation of the new
subcommittee -- and besides, they informed the INS in advance of their plans,
and according to my friend, the INS said basically, "Have at it!"
SO, FOLKS, I THINK YOU COULD SAY THAT TEXAS INGENUITY TRIUMPHS AGAIN!
Reminder: Don't forget to pay your taxes....... 12 million illegal aliens depend on you.
