And yet he claims he’s not being driven by politics.
DALLAS (CBS 11 NEWS) – Opposition and criticism are building against Dallas County Commissioner Clay Jenkins’ plan to bring to Dallas 2,000 unaccompanied minors from Central America who crossed the Texas border.
On Thursday, Judge Jenkins announced three proposed sites to house the youngsters.
Those places include Hulcy Middle School in Dallas’ Red Bird area, the Lamar School in Grand Prairie, and a building at the Parkland Hospital complex in Dallas.
But Katrina Pierson, a Garland Tea Party leader, says the problem is, Judge Jenkins isn’t planning to have the commissioners court vote on his plan or formally receive residents’ input.
“So a lot of Tea Partiers, grass roots conservatives, and people in general, parents, will be going to commissioners court next week to try to have their voices heard.”
