Councilman Kalasho is running in District 1 in El Cajon, a city with a high population of immigrants and refugees, and which celebrates its diversity and patriotism with an annual “America on Main Street celebration (photo). Last year, that event included a citizenship ceremony for people from 54 different countries.
August 15, 2018 (El Cajon) – Councilman Ben Kalasho thinks El Cajon is dirty,unsafe and does not resemble America. Per his Candidate Statement he submitted he states, "I know that most Fletcher Hills and Grossmont area residents shop in Santee or La Mesa. Why? Because it's safer, cleaner & still feels like you're in America."
Well, I guess we now know how Kalasho really feels about El Cajon. Remember Kalasho, Fletcher Hills is El Cajon. I'll have more to say later; I need to lock my doors in my dirty home and third world town.

Oh the Irony
So many forget their roots.
The truth is that all of us, unless you're Native American, are either immigrants or descendants of immigrants.
