Philadelphia cops now won't ask about immigrations status (pro-criminal Mayor Nutter)

Posted Tue, Nov 10, 2009 at 1:36 pm

Mayor Michael Nutter of Philadelphia - yes, "Mayor Nutter" - recently signed an executive order that will make it easier for criminal illegal aliens to live and work in his city; he's clearly putting his own political interests ahead of the interests of his city. From this:

Perhaps stealing the thunder of his own announcement of a 2010 census push, the mayor told a standing-room-only crowd that he's been hearing that what he calls undocumented individuals worry they may be turned over to Immigration if they talk to police or access city services.

So he's looking for ways to "narrow the scope" of the Federal Secure Communities anti-criminal alien program. He says, for the last six years, it's been a guideline that police not ask about immigration status:

"To emphatically underscore that policy though, I will in a few minutes sign a new executive order directing that no city employee -- including all members of the Philadelphia Police Department -- may ask any person any questions about their immigration status."

The mayor says he hopes the new policy generates trust in police, city services and the census.

The "Secure Communities" initiative is along the same lines as the 287g program and described at ice.gov/pi/news/factsheets/secure_communities.htm
It's designed to "improve[] public safety by implementing a comprehensive, integrated approach to identify and remove criminal aliens from the United States" and that's what Nutter is coming out against.

Money corrupts and as always--THE AMERICAN PEOPLE--come last to copious Campaign contribution, family vacations, sexual favors and undisclosed gifts. Any clean shaved, newly voted politician is rapidly corrupted once he reaches the halls of power. Honest perhaps at the beginning--but being ostracized by his own party members, soon turns the page? Demanding lobbyists have been in the corruption business since the first President. A good example is the commencing Comprehensive Immigration Reform. Wait and see? Don't believe it? Go to JUDICIAL WATCH and NUMBERSUSA for the ugly details on corruption in high places? WE MUST JAM THE SWITCHBOARDS IN WASHINGTON, PUSHING OUR OWN DEMANDS at 202-224-3121 that bars illegal aliens from the health care insurance "exchange" and halt any AMNESTY. YOUR VOICE IS MAKING AN IMMENSE DIFFERENCE TO HOW THE POLITICIANS VOTE? WARN THEM OF THE CONSEQUENCES OF IGNORING PUBLIC OPINION.

CBO Says New Health Care Bill Would Cover 2.5 Million More Illegal Aliens. Sen. Reid Kills E-Verify Amendment to Unemployment extension Bill. Pro-Enforcement Candidates win in Virginia and New Jersey. 68% of Americans Oppose Sanctuary Cities and States. Just may be GOP Marco Rubio could be an enlightened voice in the wilderness. Either parties are to blame for the massive financial predicament each state is in regarding the 20 to 30 million illegal aliens and families. They have swarmed into the border states and nearly bankrupted California--a SANCTUARY STATE--with Arizona close behind. State legislators scare of their own shadows have pushed for welfare entitlement for these impoverished people. The loser is the US taxpayer, who can hardly keep his family, car and mortgage above water. You can learn about the corruption and incompetence of lawmakers at NUMBERSUSA.

if a cop asked for ID and was not part of some monkey race that cop could be sent to prison for asking questions to one of the monkeys.
