I'd like to say a few things about the subjects listed on the brochure.
1. In regard to 287(g), it you're here legally, it wouldn't matter. The citizens in this country have a right to deport any
illegals - especially the "criminals".
2. Profiling?? - Since Waukegan is what 55% to 60% hispanic, it's only common sense to know that the majority of the stops
will be hispanics.
3. Develop jobs by focusing on the Hispanic Business Community - I think the "hispanic business community" should focus
on becoming part of the city or America. Another new business went up on Yorkhouse Road by Lewis. I believe it may
be a fruits & vegetable store, but who knows, everything is in Spanish. If the hispanic community would become part
of the "WHOLE" community, there would be less discrimination. But, when the businesses put up signs in only spanish
and advertise in spanish, it is telling the rest of us "don't bother coming in here, your business is not wanted". So, why
would I shop there as an American citizen that speaks "English" in an english speaking country??? They bring the
discrimination on themselves.
4. Tutoring & Bilingual Education - Get volunteers to help tutor or go to night school to learn English. Our ancestors came to this country and had to learn "english". They made sure their children learned it, went to school, got educated, and became upstanding citizens. They didn't look for handouts.
If someone is going to become Mayor - he should have the best interests of "all" citizens regardless of race. But, he does not.
