Mr Garrison is referring to a Dallas Morning News report that Farmer's Branch City Council has asked the school district for names and addresses of all schoolchildren, failing to explain why it wants this information, which some speculate is related to the city council's opposition to illegal immigration.
Mr Garrison is slow, but he's finally waking up. Others never had sympathy for the "anti-illegal immigrant crowd" who were always more about harassment than law enforcement. At least Mr Garrison is bright enough to figure it out for himself, even if he was too closed-minded to understand this when others pointed it out.
Maybe that's related to the way Mr Garrison characterizes those in opposition to Tim O'Hare and the Farmers Branch City Council. He calls them the "pro-illegal immigrant side." I don't know of anyone who is "pro-illegal" anything. Everyone recognizes that illegal immigration is a problem. The disagreement is over how to deal with the problem. Mr Garrison now finds himself in opposition to Farmers Branch actions. Does that make him "pro-illegal immigrant?" Hardly. And he shouldn't continue to characterize others that way, either.

Mr Garrison's link is to a followup of his own on Frontburner. He adds several reasons why he's changed his mind about illegal immigration. Mostly good reasons. None of them new. Which still leaves me scratching my head why he said those arguments didn't sway him earlier. No matter. At least he's reasoning the problem out. I wish everyone tried to do the same.
