A letter from Frank Aquila
Latinos are beginning to realize they can pursue the American dream, seek opportunity and achieve success and don’t need the government to be the resolution to their problems. Latinos are typically hard workers who hold strong family and social conservative values, believing marriage should be between a man and a woman, in line with the Republican Party. More and more Latinos have started their own businesses and are proving they can do things on their own without government handouts. This is a concern for the Democratic Party, which has tried to establish its base through fearmongering that survival is only based on the promise of dependence through big government. However, Latinos have come to realize the Democrats have only set the table in the past, but failed to serve the main meal, slowing and ending the scare tactic playhouse of control the Democrats have had on the Latino community. This fearmongering and deception is evident in the Democratic attempt to play on the emotions of the Latino people through immigration. Illegal immigration undermines those who have gone through the citizenship process legally. The Republican Party respects legal immigration and a guest worker program, allowing those who want to work to better themselves or their family the opportunity to do so. The Republican Party also believes in a protected border from suspected terrorists, drug smugglers and gangs that threaten our national security as well as the cost to defend the nation and house criminals. Most Latinos appreciate America and have learned the need to assimilate into society. Every culture, including the Asian, Irish, Italian and Portuguese, has achieved success through learning the English language and adjusting to the American culture. Those who fail to adjust and are stuck on the dependence of Democratic social programs and lack the motivation or need to advance, falling into the Democratic trap of social dependence. Through assimilation, Latinos can advance in education and seek higher positions in employment as well as seek loans for homes and businesses to achieve the success they desire. The Latino community has begun to open its eyes to see the Republican Party offers Latinos an opportunity to achieve goals and gain the respect deserved through hard work, while the Democratic Party has used them as a political puppet. In 1907, President Theodore Roosevelt said: “There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn’t an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag ... we have room for but one language here, and that is the English language ... and we have room for but one sole loyalty, and that is a loyalty to the American people.” No matter where our ancestors came from, we are Americans. We need to stop dividing Americans against each other. Be proud of your heritage, but love America, and your opportunity to pursue the American dream.

The Latinos who entered our country legally have great respect for our country that they want to be part of our "family" too. That honors our fallen troops of all races, too. Welcome.
