Lou Dobbs Tonight -- CNN -- March 28
Dobbs: ...In Suffern, New York, the mayor has announced
that he will seek the same authority to identify illegal aliens
among criminal suspects in his jails, turning those identified
over to federal authorities. That authority is known as 287-G
(ph).
Mayor Keegan: We're not doing this politically, for any
political reason. We're doing this to have a tool for our police
force to use so that being a pro-active police force so that
they can keep the community safer.
Tucker: Advocates for illegal aliens are not happy about
the mayor's decision. At a town meeting Thursday night, the mayor
explained it's not his intention to deport every illegal alien
in Suffern, only those who commit serious crimes. The police
chief agrees.
Chief Osborn: The only difference is we now have another
tool on our belts to go out there and get rid of the ones that
are not only victimizing the legal residents but they're also
victimizing the illegals, as well.
