Illegal immigration could shake up Lewisville council races – Texas From: dallasnews.com

Tagged: ,

“Elected leaders in Lewisville take pride in their city’s political peace and quiet. City Council meetings rarely draw crowds; recent elections haven’t either.

If one issue could stir this politically sleepy suburb, it could be illegal immigration. City leaders have taken an intentionally subtle approach compared with the high-profile campaigns in Farmers Branch and Irving.

But the May 10 council race is amplifying the volume. Candidates report growing frustration from residents. Council candidate John Gorena – a veteran of high-profile immigration rallies in Farmers Branch and Irving – has campaigned vehemently for Lewisville to take a tougher stand against illegal immigrants.”*
