Republicans & Immigration

In a word, too many illegal aliens are recent arrivals and would not benefit from this scheme. Too many thousands are on public assistance. And too many thousands have criminal records. That these latter groups are, of course, a minority amid a much larger hard-working majority matters little to liberals. It is not so much that they are for amnesty for most, as that they are against deportation for some — a group that in aggregate could be in the hundreds of thousands. Watch the eroding negotiations, as Obama casts his alluring bait, hooks his Republican fish, and then yanks them around on requisite border enforcement, prior arrests and convictions, and the unemployed on public assistance. For demagogic purposes, there is only a Dream Act, not a non-Dream Act; all are eligible for citizenship, almost none for deportation; only future brain surgeons crossed the border illegally, not those who sometimes commit felonies or drive while intoxicated.

This kind or articles create arbitrary comments from ignorant people who do not live in Salisbury, but think they have the answer for everything in this city and other parts of the country. Some of these same people make comments about who should lead us in the Mayor's office. I would like to have Mr. Albero address his opinion about this and other social issues to all the Hispanic voters in Salisbury. Please keep in mind that we vote and our vocie is getting stronger every day.

I can tell you that in our city, not every voter do his or her duty, but I do, and my vote counts and when I go to vote in the general election, I will consider my vote very carefully. I do not like Ireton, but it is not about the candidate, but the people the candidate associates with that will determine my decision and final vote.
