Quotable Quotes

"The ongoing migration of persons to the United States in violation of our laws is a serious national problem detrimental to the interests of the United States." - Ronald Reagan, 1981


"Tis our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world.."
 - George Washington (1796)


"Commerce with all nations, alliance with none, should be our motto."
 - Thomas Jefferson (1799)


Theodore Roosevelt's ideas on Immigrants and being an AMERICAN in 1907.
"In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American ... There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag ... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language ... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."
- Theodore Roosevelt 1907


 

 

Subject: Letter to the Editors / Opinion (Lewisville Leader) Lewisville City Council Race: Lathan Watts for Place 3
Date: Published on 04-25-2007

In response to your editorial/endorsement. I commend Aljoe on his service. Regardless of Aljoe's length of residency and involvement, he IS NOT the best candidate for Lewisville. Issues are important to Citizens. What will candidates vote For/Against? See the Candidate Quiz: http://www.vgt2004.org/a-dallas07/ to compare their answers.

At a recent forum, Lathan Watts was the ONLY candidate who did not make me feel like blood was going to shoot out of my eyes. Watts was logical, educated on topics, answered directly & completely, and did not grand stand like others. Watts is concerned about taxes, economic development, and spending money wisely.

Aljoe’s views/plans are not in our best interest. The candidates responded nearly the same on questions except for one topic: ‘Day Laborer’ Site. Aljoe enthusiastically stated he supports spending money for a ‘Day Laborer’ site (~$138K) and facility (more money)(SEE CLARIFICATION OF MONEY).  This is a waste of money. Lathan Watts stated he does not support spending tax payer money on a project like the 'day laborer' site because it is not in best interest of the Citizens. This was followed by much applause of those attending the forum.

It is common knowledge that most of these 'day laborers' are NOT here legally, therefore, Aljoe encourages breaking the law by encouraging others to come illegally. If you build it, they will come. Council members should not do this as it is an example of POOR leadership and bad money management. Spend the money to hire police officers to enforce the laws. This would benefit the citizens more.

I am an American-Hispanic Citizen of Lewisville. This is NOT a Race issue - it is a Legal issue. With the credentials & ISSUES in mind, I recommend that voters support Lathan Watts for Place 3 on City Council on May 12, 2007.
