Mr.Mayor, Can you say that again?

When 165 illegal immigrants were arrested the Mayor of Portland said "I certainly understand why federal officials executed criminal warrants against three individuals who stole and sold Social Security numbers. But to go after local workers who are here to support their families while filling the demands of local businesses for their labor is bad policy."

Really? It would seem that when 165 Portland residents break the law, they would be arrested n'est ce pas?

With a 5% unemployment rate in Portland you would think it would be good policy to open up those 165 jobs to the residents of Portland who we assume are legal resident of the community.

Let's go aggressively after those who facilitate this type of illegal activity, but lets go after all of those who break the law.
