Farmers Branch: cash drain No. 4

Just in from The Dallas Morning News:

Fourth lawsuit filed over city's immigration rules

A fourth lawsuit has been filed against this Dallas suburb over its plans to outlaw apartment rentals to illegal immigrants and make English the city's official language.

Six dozen merchants contend the rental ordinance and English resolution have hurt their businesses by making Hispanic customers afraid to patronize them. They say the city's improper attempt to enforce federal law is hurting commerce. In a suit filed Thursday, the merchants are seeking damages for loss of revenue and future profits. (Emphasis mine; read rest of story here.)
Those idiotas on the FB City Council need to revoke their foolish measures now before they bankrupt their already financially-strapped city.
