Who do you think has a better point, Fresno's Mayor or Fresno's city council?
03/20/2007 - Fresno Mayor Alan Autry's attempt to challeng the Federal Government's immigration sweeps was not approved by the City Council. The council deadlocked 3 to 3 with council member Brian Calhoun absent.
"At the end of the day, if you are getting people that 99 out of 100 are going to work everyday under a system that basically invited them here and they are being singled out in an unequal fashion, and you get one bad guy. I don't like that ratio, " says Autry.
Councilmembers had mixed feelings about the federal sweeps. Some said federal agents were just doing their job and others felt they were out to round up any undocumented workers, even those who were not wanted fugitives.
Councilmember Larry Westerlund says, "I don't feel with any comfort level that it's the duty of the City of Fresno to tell the federal government how they should enforce the law as it is currently written."
Thoughts?
Answer:
how do they know what the people want? just because we vote them in does not mean we want illegals here. they got our vote on promises they will fix something. and then the illegal issue comes up after they are in office. this does not mean they are speaking for all Americans when they let the illegals run amok and do what they are doing to this country and to the united states citizens.
they are illegal and should be jailed and deported...or better yet, sunk in a barge off the coast of mexico as a warning...
It is Federal Law. He has nothing to say about it.
The federal government should be doing sweeps in sanctuary cities as well.
Name me one other Federal law that does not get enforced?
That Mayor should be impeached from office for even attempting such a thing.
I agree with Mayor Autry on this one.
