We are on it, ... I want people to be absolutely safe in parks. I believe they are.
The Landscape of Choice addresses those concerns and we should create a plan based on it, adopt it, have faith in it, implement it and stick to it.
We will never have quotas in this city as long as I am mayor, but we will darn sure have goals,
You look at it, you're stuck with 400 or you look at it as we have an opportunity to help 400 fellow Americans in desperate need,
This is from my heart. I believe this represents what most Fresnans in Fresno County would want us to do. We've got a number that we can handle physically. It is not a drain,

We knew it. We didn't need a study to show us what was happening in our city,
We are expecting that, come tomorrow, they'll be arriving.
If we don't have a policy that allows an immigrant to come across with their dignity and their respect as well as their work ethic, we're going to pay an awful price. We already are.
