Why is it that so many of the bills passed by Congress and signed into law by President Obama are touted as one thing, but turn out to be something else? I am not surprised that this comes out of the Republican minds in Congress, but I am disappointed in President Obama. The innocuous sounding name of the bill makes Governor Deval Patrick look bad when he refuses to go along with the idea. Maybe this show will help explain the position that Deval Patrick is taking.

I’d feel safer if law enforcement spent more time locking up drunk drivers and bank robbers no matter what is their immigration status or the color of their collars, than in going after families whose only crime is violation of the immigration laws. Saying that we have to get our priorities straight in where we focus our limited law enforcement resources, is not the same thing as condoning violation of immigration laws, so don’t even go there.
