OPINION EDITOR
Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick has a long history of pandering to illegal immigrants. During his first term, Patrick reversed a decision by the previous Massachusetts governor, Mitt Romney, which gave state troopers the power to arrest illegal immigrants. Let me point out that Romney?s policy makes sense because, as the title may imply, illegal immigrants are here illegally. They are breaking the law. As such, they should be arrested. Shocking, I know. Deval Patrick?s rationale for promptly reversing Gov. Romney?s decision was that state troopers ?have a very big job as it is, without having to add enforcing federal immigration laws on top of it.? Ah, well there we are. Those poor state troopers are just too busy enforcing other laws. So if they pull over someone for speeding and it turns out that the individual is also an illegal immigrant, too bad! After all, according to Patrick, they have more important things to do?like enforcing laws that don?t alienate one of Patrick?s key special interests (the immigrant community).
