Tarrant, Texas -- An activist who successfully went over officials' heads to get senior citizens' property taxes frozen in Arlington and Tarrant County says he'll now turn his sights on illegal immigration.
Dave McElwee said he will push for city ordinances that will prohibit employers and landlords from accommodating illegal immigrants with jobs and places to live.
And he wants local law enforcement officials to cooperate with the federal government in a program that would authorize them to enforce immigration laws.
"We're going to force these local officials one way or the other," McElwee pledged. "We're talking about every city in the county if we can do it."
