Scott Maxwell has often presented himself as being openly anti-immigrant. Until recently, he hosted a weekly radio program called “Connecting the Dots on Illegal Immigration”, Thursdays 8pm on WBZT 1230 Clear Channel. He ended the radio show upon his candidacy for City Commission.
He attended the City of Lake Worth public meetings when they were voting to open the Resource Center to help provide employment for residents, and to get Day Laborers off the street corners. At that meeting he spoke against the center, I have included his comment from the official City Clerk meeting minutes (source, page 14:

His entire comment can be found on the official Clerk recording of the meeting. The meeting was held September 2, 2008
“Scott Maxwell said this was an important night for Lake Worth. The decision of the Commission would send an important message to its residents, businesses and developers, and America that the City sold its soul and pandered to those who tried to come to the country and improve themselves. The federal government allowed immigrants to get away with entering the country illegally. This was one of the most generous countries to allow legal immigrants to enter. With enough people, the government and the political country could be taken over. He said he was against Matricular Consular Identification and opposed the center."
Further proof of his vocal opposition to immigrants can be found in this email posted on the website of City blogger Lynn Anderson. (source: http://lynn-a.blogspot.com/2009/05/e-mail-from-scott-maxwell-on-illegals.html):
"Lynn,
This week’s guest will be Steven Camarato, Director of Research for the Center for Immigration Studies. I really appreciate your being on top of this issue....hopefully we as Americans, will wake up and place some of our petty issues aside for the resolution of some of the more important.... Our country is in a terrible fight for survival...we are going to meet the same fate as all the other great civilizations before us...too bad that again, folks refuse to learn from history... .
Best, Scot"

All people in Lake Worth deserve to be fairly represented. Commissioner Scott Maxwell has a history of associating with anti-immigrant hate groups. As seen on his website and radio show, he associates with members of right wing militias and groups bankrolled by the racist 'Pioneer Fund'. This was not a show for debating immigration issues. It's function was to feature anti-immigrant voices and network on behalf of hate groups. This site is intended to educate Lake Worth residents.

Now that Maxwell is once again running for office, it is important the people are informed about the views he espoused on his radio show...

ReplyDeleteAttention; the hate on this site has been created by a bunch of anarchists, probably Cara Jennings and her ilk. Scott Maxwell is a great patriot, good human and terrific public servant. No one should believe these lies. The anarchists who operate this hate site must face the truth; STUPIDITY LOST in the 2016 election and long overdue immigration enforcement is forthcoming.

I think this comment shows the truthfulness of this blog. A key difference between this and most other world-stage countries is that we from the start are a country of immigrants. Get rid of recent immigrants and watch prices soar for produce, restaurants, construction/real estate, elder care, child care, cleaning, health care and other industries (maybe all industries).
