L.A. County supervisor Zev Yaroslavsky:
"I don't want to see anyone deported who has been acquitted for a crime, even if they are here illegally," Supervisor Zev Yaroslavsky said. "But I have no sympathy for aliens who do commit crimes."
Here's the context:
LOS ANGELES -- Immigration authorities can train county sheriff's personnel to conduct jailhouse interviews to learn whether convicts are in the United States illegally, county supervisors ruled Tuesday.
The policy, approved in a 3-2 vote, also will allow county employees to learn to use a federal database of immigrants the government is seeking to deport...
You'll recall that Zev - together with his "liberal" buddies Yvonne Burke and Gloria Molina were the guiding lights behind capitulating to the ACLU's letter demanding that the county seal be changed.

What this also shows the intellectual mediocrity -- or worse -- of too many politicians these days. Even to the point where you get the impression they are incapablle of reasoning and logical thought -- reacting only on emotion (which is in some ways at the heart of political correctness).
