A bright future in politics

He should be a Congressman.
ALLENTOWN, Pennsylvania — After trying to run illegal immigrants out of town, just about everywhere Hazleton Mayor Lou Barletta goes these days, someone inevitably urges him to run for higher office: County commissioner. Congress. President of the United States.
While flattered, Barletta said his only interest for now is winning re-election this year. The Republican mayor is seeking a third term, defying expectations that he would try to parlay his newfound fame as a crusader against illegal immigration into a higher post.
Republican activists say Barletta, 51, has a bright future in politics — if he wants it.
“Politically, he’s done himself a world of good,” said Republican media consultant John Brabender. “The real question is, where does he go from here, and what is the right office. But certainly he’s put himself in a position to consider a number of offices.”
We need more ballsy people like this, who will stand up for Americans FIRST and who will put some pride back in the term, LAW AND ORDER. Illegal immigrants, parasites that they are, are first and foremost, LAWBREAKERS. Not exactly the kind of people we should be asking Congress to give amnesty to.
