It all goes back to the rhetoric of last year
about the ``bad hombres'' and the attacks on Mexico and Mexicans. I will tell you, I want the bad hombres off the street no matter
where they come from, but I look to my local police chiefs, to my local
sheriffs and law enforcement officers to tell me what the best way is
to protect our families from crime. They say maintaining the confidence
of the immigrant community is vital, and that measures like this, which
simply have politicians in Washington interfering with and attempting
to intimidate local law enforcement officers, do exactly the opposite
of what all these speeches claim that they do. Anti-immigrant hysteria, what a way to leave for July Fourth from a
Congress that has accomplished practically nothing but to attack
immigrants as we depart instead of standing by and supporting local law
enforcement and making our communities safe.
