But, my point was that even if the mayor (any mayor) was to set out to do the most that he could to help illegal alliens. it would be but a grain of sand compared to the boulder that Congress controls. It makes about as much sense to worry about how a mayor will treat illegal aliens as it does to worry about his views on foreign policy with China. Even the governor has very few things that he can do regarding illegal aliens. It's a national matter. True, it affects states like Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California most. But, the bigger hammer on this issue still resides in DC.
Now, if Orlando were running for Congress, I might have an entirely different opinion and I would have to research his position on the issue much more. But as Mayor, his position on illegal immigration is mostly immaterial, since he is bound by numerous federal laws and court rulings, that place a strict limit on what any mayor can do about illegal aliens.
