I knew it was Lawrence before I even click on the link. I think the last mayor got indicted and refused to step down or something... or that happened a few years ago.

It's disgraceful that people who can't assimilate, can't speak English, don't accept our laws hold political office. 

How does this happen?  Load up ILLEGALS and certain areas and give them voting privileges and encourage them to vote. 

The same can be said should when the DEMS hold the oval office and have a majority...they'll get their because of the sheer number of ILLEGALS.  Trump has tried to rectify it, but there's a boat load of people who still need to be deported.
Live in  harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.

Do you think English should be required to work in city government?

Well, I wish being American-born were a prerequisite to being elected to office, but those days are long gone.

In America?

Duh.

Our laws are written in English.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Maybe not, but if they are going to do that, keep them intrastate.

(And we bitch about 'tourists' now in North Dakota who have (apparently) never driven on snow and ice before. If there was any doubt from their driving, by their plates shall ye know them...)

  Don't talk to me about Turons.  I had to go to the Grocery today to pick up some bloody mary mix, limes, A cabbage, and some panty liners.  The snow birds have arrived.

We had those in Phoenix.  The Canadians were the worst.

Excerpt:
In a bizarre twist of irony, Democrat Mayor Brian DePena of Lawrence, Massachusetts, requested a translator during a recent hearing because he couldn’t speak English, while in Pennsylvania, a beloved school bus driver was fired for asking students to do the same. The video of DePena’s hearing, held via Zoom, shows him struggling to communicate, with subtitles revealing his concern about not understanding Spanish translations. “The division has a concern and raised an objection based on the fact that counsel, much like me in my capacity as a hearing officer, don’t speak Spanish. And therefore we’re unable to decide independently whether questions are being translated both directions from attorney or witness accurately,” he said.


If you can't speak English, you shouldn't even be eligible for US citizenship, much less public office.

This guy isn't even a real American. Teddy Roosevelt was always right!

Lawrence, Mass, is controlled by Dominican drug gangs.  It's a major distribution hub for narcotics in northeast New England.
"Political correctness is a doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it’s entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end." - Alan Simpson, Frontline Video Interview

I used to live less than a mile from the Lawrence city limits. It was bad back then (early 1990s) and has only gotten worse. 
"If all men are created equal, that is final. If they are endowed with inalienable rights, that is final. If governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, that is final. No advance, no progress can be made beyond these propositions. If anyone wishes to deny their truth or their soundness, the only direction in which he can proceed historically is not forward, but backward toward the time when there was no equality, no rights of the individual, no rule of the people."    -Calvin Coolidge
