2 sheriffs ignore governor, seek to boot criminals By Dave Wedge Thursday, August 11, 2011 Two tough-on-crime southeastern Massachusetts lawmen are openly defying Gov. Deval Patrick’s push to end a controversial crackdown on illegal immigrants, pledging to work with the feds to deport undocumented foreign lawbreakers that land in their jails. Bristol Sheriff Thomas Hodgson and Plymouth Sheriff Joseph McDonald are moving forward with plans to join the federal Secure Communities program, despite Patrick’s campaign earlier this summer to cancel the state’s participation, the Herald has learned. “There’s nothing he can do,” Hodgson said of Patrick. “He can complain or do whatever he wants. He can challenge me legally. I don’t frankly care. I didn’t get elected by the governor.” Top cops: Illegal alien cons must go - BostonHerald.com
While I agree with the Sherrifs for participating in this, I also believe that thay are doing it under an alterior motive like MSP said.....
I'll break with tradition (and perhaps common sense) and say that as long as sheriffs are ridding this country of illegal aliens (complete drain on our society), I'll look the other way if they want to get a boat or a command center......the payoff is worth it in the long run. Yes, Obama voters.....this is what you've reduced us to.
