Governor of Massachusetts police won't arrest illegals /So what happens when?

Question

What happens when the gun, gang or drug crimes are committed by illegals? Am I the only one confused? Do they not arrest them or arrest them, try them ,convict, have them serve the sentence then deport them?

Governor Deval Patrick said the shift would free troopers to focus on gun, gang and drug crimes.
He is rescinding a month-old policy imposed by his predecessor that allowed state troopers to arrest illegal immigrants.

"I think that strikes the right balance between our responsibility to assure public safety and our responsibility to respond to the concerns about illegal immigration," he said.

Under the new initiative, a dozen Correction Department employees will review the status of convicts and consider them for deportation.

Public Safety Secretary Kevin Burke estimated there are 700 illegal immigrants in state custody.

Answer 1

Impeach that pinhead for non-feasance.

Answer 2

According to an article I read, the governor-elect Patrick will remove the responsibility of Mass state troopers to detain illegal immigrants that was given to them by former governor Romney.

Patrick claims that troopers who work on drug and gang crimes need to have community trust, I guess to develop informants and/or work undercover investigations. The thinking is that if troopers also have to detain illegal immigrants, no one in those communities will trust them so they won't be able to effectively solve drug and gang crimes.

Patrick also says that the Mass Dept of Corrections will take responsibility for investigating the legal immigration status of any convicted persons and begin deportation proceedings with the assistance of the federal gov't.

Answer 3

That governor is a disgrace just like Schwarzenegger in California, he wants to give all illegals free heath care.

Our past Governor in Colorado wrote a book for illegals on how to get here and get benefits.
