Last week I wrote about the difference between legal and illegal immigrants. Indeed, it got a lot of notice, from our readers, the press and media and even the elected Democrats! As a matter of fact, one of the Councilmembers actually started her recent public comments and referred to enforcement efforts against ILLEGAL immigrants.

For our one-party local government to have that happen was monumental. (As you know Obama was the Deporter in Chief, and Hillary and Bill made all sorts of noise about illegal immigrants taking jobs and money from hard-working Americans. Although history is inconvenient, it can’t be denied.)

So many of our GOP candidates this year are patriotic, legal immigrants. It’s inconvenient for their opposition to acknowledge that, but it’s true. I appreciate the Democrats willing to step up with the truth, and advocate for only legal immigration – it’s what both parties want and will achieve soon. We all want what's best for America.

In the meantime, we’re marching forward with great candidates, money saving ideas and opportunities to free up commerce, enhance education, move traffic and recognize the individual’s importance, welfare and wellbeing. We want Prosperity, Freedom and Safety and we can achieve it if we work together. Help us with messaging with your neighbors, relatives and friends.

This week, drop by Coffee with the Chairman and give me your ideas and viewpoints to move the county to the center. Look at our schedule and again, drop in at one of the events throughout the County to meet our great candidates and engage with them. It will be worth your while.

And give to the Chairman’s Club so that we can print our Sample Ballot to help folks at the polls this primary season – especially folks working so hard all week without the time to fully research each candidate. We’ve got so many good ones. It’s a blessing and an opportunity.

I appreciate your notes and feedback. Hope to see you and talk to you soon.
