On June 21, 2012 former Florida Governor Jeb Bush addressed attendees of the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials (NALEO) and made a statement that sent up a big red flag to me:
“…we must begin to focus on how we build capacity for the next generation to maintain the greatness of our country.”
One way to do that is supporting policies that drive existing American citizen & legal immigrant workers OUT of the workforce and subsequently replaces them with the “next generation”—- to cut labor costs.
But first the “next generation” must get on a pathway to US citizenship.
Not to worry—through the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials (NALEO) and the NALEO Educational Fund, Texas State Senator Sylvia Garcia, Board Director and former NALEO Board President are promoting Citizenship Assistance Workshops on the Greater Harris County area
One NALEO Citizenship Event was held earlier today April 4, 2015 and two will be held next Saturday April 11, 2015; one on the grounds of St. Charles Borromeo Church and another on Bellaire Blvd just west of Wilcrest.
Yep, Texas State Senator Sylvia Garcia and Jeb Bush —partners through their association with NALEO; a reason to be skeptical, yet again, of another Bush presidency.
