The Boston Globe reported today that Mayor-elect Martin Walsh wants to put a stop to the Federal initiative designed to identify illegal immigrants! He is disturbed that this program is detaining too many people who are non-violent criminals. It appears that he believes that normal, routine, run-of-the-mill illegal criminal immigrants should not be apprehended and detained. I guess he believes that immigrant criminals should be given more rights than the average American criminal. Why is that Democrats leave their common sense behind when they become elected officials?
