John Trasvina of MALDEF lists his demands

Posted Sun, Jul 20, 2008 at 3:41 pm

Discussing the National Latino Congreso, Teresa Watanabe of the Los Angeles Times says:

John Trasvina, president of the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund [MALDEF], said he wanted to see the next president end immigration raids, put a moratorium on the use of local police in immigration enforcement, and appoint a Homeland Security chief who would suspend immigration raids during the 2010 Census to ensure a more accurate count, among other things.

I'm going to guess that his first demand was actually more like stopping immigration raids until "reform" is enacted, although he might have said exactly what she's written above.

It's been pretty clear for a while that what they really want is total non-enforcement of immigration law, at the least internally. Now they're finally saying it.

'put a moratorium on the use of local police in immigration enforcement' That would be overstepping his authority. John sure seems to be against a lot. Why might that be? I wonder what he's for when it comes to immigration law enforcement?
