Mario Carranza put a mobile home on a $28,000 lot in Colony Ridge, one of the biggest neighborhoods in Texas, lured by cheap land and the chance for his family to escape the crime he says was rampant around their apartment in nearby Houston.
“Here, we are good,” said Carranza, 65, who now drives about an hour to his maintenance job in a Houston suburb.
But his quiet neighborhood is now in an unwelcome national spotlight. For weeks in Texas, conservative media and GOP activists have been pushing unsubstantiated claims that Colony Ridge has become a magnet for immigrants living in the U.S. illegally and that cartels control pockets of the neighborhood.

I often wonder how these geniuses determine that someone living in a neighborhood are illegal. But then I remember that they also believe that vaccinations are putting nano control devices in our bodies.
