Latinos running for office in Irving, TX, are targeting the City Council and the school board. Some have run for office previously and been defeated and others are contending for the first time ever. Some of the candidates complain that "Latinos just CAN'T seem to GET ELECTED!" Well, from what I have read in the local paper about these candidates' attitudes on illegal immigration and assimilation, I simply CANNOT BLAME sensible Americans for REJECTING Latino candidates like THESE! Some of the Latino candidates say they are in favor of deporting ONLY illegals who are CONVICTED FELONS, NOT others who simply CROSSED the BORDER illegally! Others say that Irving needs MORE bilingual CITY employees to help better serve a DIVERSE population. I e-mailed the Dallas Morning News that while bilingual employees are a great asset anywhere, it would be FAR better for immigrants to LEARN English!
