Hearing about this, it sounds oddly like the new Arizona law. They check criminals’ immigration status at a new detention center, where ICE has office space. I heard on the radio yesterday, that after a week they had found about 53 illegals (don’t know out of how many).
I wonder when LA will boycott ABQ.
As of the 19th it was 31 out of 320 arrested.
What’s really interesting to me regarding cities claiming they are boycotting AZ or whatever... Who makes that call?
Wouldn’t there need to be a public referendum to approve such a measure? Since most folks are on the side of AZ... you’d think making the Boycott decision is like hammering a nail into your own casket come election time.
I’d say if you’re an incumbant on City Council or the Mayor and have approved the boycott and your constituents don’t agree... ADIOS during the next election. Gives a lot of ammo for anyone who wants to run for office.
The ABQ is not too far from where I live. Now, I have to add the city to my list of Summer vacation stops.
Could we say Arizone law, the shot heard around the world...
