Lest anyone have any doubt what Obama wants to do with the illegal immigration issue, this should lay it to rest
The Obama administration has tapped an outspoken critic of immigration enforcement on the local level to oversee and promote partnerships between federal and local officials.
Harold Hurtt, a former police chief in Houston and Phoenix, has been hired as the director for the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Office of State and Local Coordination. Starting July 6, Hurtt will supervise outreach and communication between ICE, local law enforcement agencies, tribal leaders and representatives from non-governmental organizations.
But as a police chief, Hurtt was a supporter of “sanctuary city” policies, by which illegal immigrants who don’t commit crimes can live without fear of exposure or detainment because police don’t check for immigration papers.
He also, during his tenure as Houston police chief, criticized ICE’s key program that draws on local law enforcement’s support.
Of course, there is some spinning going on from the Hurtt supporters, but, face it, Obama wants open borders and illegals given amnesty. Yes, ICE has done some good work since PeBO took office, but, I think we are starting see it is simply a case of agents doing their job, despite the Obama admin.
