Compare and Contrast: Conservatives, English Only, and Immigration in the Mayor's Race

[Council Member Eric] Crafton also said the [English Only/First] bill has nothing to do with illegal immigration and that its purpose is simply to reinforce English as the traditional language of our government.

[Mayoral candidate David] Briley's rhetoric just doesn't match up to his record in the council of being soft on immigration of ALL types. Until now, David Briley NEVER made a distinction about legel [sic] -vs- illegal immigration... in fact, Briley could not even agree that English ought to be the language of the land, and he voted against doing so.
