Houston may
lose chance
at GOP site
What’s up
HOUSTON (AP) — Houston
could be cut from the list of possible
1988 Republican national conven
tion sites if the party’s site-selection
committee narrows its search to two
cities, the Houston Post reported
Sunday.
Houston has everything the GOP
wants in a convention site, but com
mittee members do not want to pick
the same city where the Democrats
will convene, the Post reported.
“We are 99 percent certain that
Houston is where the Democrats are
going,” committee member Eileen
Schouweiler of Nevada said.
Despite an earlier announcement,
several committee members said
there is a possibility the list, to be re
leased on Friday, could contain only
two cities instead of three, according
to the Post.
The newspaper also quoted un
named committee members as say
ing Houston still has a good chance
of being among the finalists.
One committee member was irri
tated by the city’s push to attract the
Democratic convention.
Ebbie Spivey of Mississippi said,
“It almost appears . . . that Houston
did not want us as bad as it might
want the other party.
“While we were treated marvel
ously, I don’t think we were given
the hard sell they were given,” Spi
vey said.
City officials said they were pre
pared to give the Republicans the
same things they offered the Demo
crats, including a $5 million insur
ance policy payable if a convention
hall under construction is not ready
on time.

Juveniles used in border crimes

McALLEN (AP) — Mexican chil
dren increasingly are being used to
smuggle drugs and aliens across the
Rio Grande and steal cars from bor
der cities, authorities say.
Police and border officials from
Laredo to Brownsville regularly cap
ture Mexican youths — some as
young as 11 years — who are expert
drug and alien smugglers and pro
fessional thieves.
The “Pachucitos” are used by or
ganized crime rings based in Mexico,
because Texas law does not allow
criminal prosecution of juveniles
younger than 17, the San Antonio
Express-News reported Sunday.
The youthful bandits have sent
auto thefts skyrocketing in border
cities, officials said.
Usually, the only recourse avail
able to law enforcement officials is
placing the youths in the custody of
the U.S. Immigration and Naturali
zation Service, which then deports
them to Mexico.
Officials could place the children
in the state juvenile justice system,
but juvenile centers already are
overburdened, said Richard Casillas,
San Antonio INS director.
"TL,

several years now', these;
have been exploited."
