I’ll be voting to re-elect Republican Gov. Paul LePage.
He’s the only one seriously attempting to deal with our increasing problem with illegal aliens, euphemistically referred to as “undocumented immigrants.”
When he announced denial of benefits to illegal immigrants, up popped the mayors of Portland, South Portland and Westbrook announcing they’d continue giving these benefits to illegal immigrants (“Westbrook rejects Gov. LePage’s order on welfare benefits,” June 29).
The adjoining town of Gorham is wrestling with the issue (“Gorham council decides to continue assisting immigrants,” Sept. 3). Who knew this problem was so widespread?
LePage is pro-immigrant, as am I, but in the traditional, legal manner that is respectful of our nation, its Constitution and its laws and made me proud to be an American as I read the May 4, 2013, article “New citizen: ‘now the United States are my home,’ “ in which 45 people received their citizenship.
