Just don't let this become a foot hold for illegal immigrants to crowd in.

You'll see your neighborhood turn into a slum faster than you could have ever imagined.

In this article Tejada is quoted as saying:

“In the global economy, would you rather do business in a culturally diverse community with social equity,” Tejada said,“Or one torn apart by racism and xenophobia?” A task force is at work planning these forums, he added."

Diversity? Arlington has been culturally diverse for 20 years without any issues. We have no issues with diversity and a large percentage of the population is foreign born.

Actually Mr. Tejada, we would like to work in a community that obeys and enforces the laws. We, the legal citizens of America, are upset about uncontrolled illicit activities (illegal immigration), not racism or xenophobia.

Mr. Tejada, just say it like it is. You are from El Salvador and you want to make sure that the huge number of illegal immigrants from YOUR country are taken care of.
