massive drug sweep that netted at least two non-U.S. citizens in Hazleton, Pa., demonstrates that local municipalities need the power to crack down on illegal immigrants, according to the city's mayor, Lou Barletta. After a seven-month investigation, the state Attorney General's Office announced Thursday that it had charged 40 people - all of them suspected dealers - with involvement in a Northeast Pennsylvania cocaine ring that allegedly made $31 million over three years and is based in Hazleton.

What studies would those be, Mr. Walczak?

And Ms. Worden, why didn't you ask that question?

(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((

I suspect the studies are from The National Council of La Raza (NCLR). You know how truthful they are on matters such at this.

You’re being a little too literal! (ie., no pharmacy training involved here...)

Sorry; A lame attempt at satire on my part.
The left uses Orwellian euphemisms to conceal their misdeeds. I was mocking the mentality you do not have to follow the rule of law if you change the definition of illegal;; An illegal immigrant is an undocumented immigrant so maybe a drug dealer is really an undocumented pharmacist/

The second to last is the real stinker...

Witold Walczak, the ACLU lawyer who represented plaintiffs in the Hazleton ordinance case, said the arrests would have no effect on the federal case.

You have just GOT to be kidding me, this guy is out, loose, no leash, no nothing? "The arrests would have no effect on the case." Well, just where the hell was the $31 million worth of blow coming from? It was not the north pole folks!

The last paragraph is just the same old lib nutjob Orwell-thought.
