Yup...they brought up a very important point...
The second thing we need to do is jail all local public officials who have defied the Federal Immigration Statutes by declaring their cities and towns to be havens for this illegal activity.
I don't know about jailing them, but something needs to be done with these stonewallers. In his defense, Ashcroft adopted a new policy that allowed state and local police to arrest and detain immigrants who are believed to be in violation of non-criminal provisions of the federal immigration laws. Of course the ACLU, immigration groups and police associations balked and have refused to follow Ashcroft's policy.
