Editorial: "City Council advances immigration law plans"

The unnamed Courier editor damns the City with faint praise for not doing enough to sweep those untidy brown people off our streets. Presumably the editor has a proposal for how the City should go about it, one that takes into account that the City has no legal authority over immigration violations. I'd love to see that proposal, but so far all I've read is hectoring complaints and political posturing.

    "Council supports beefing up local immigration enforcement"
    "City Attorney Gary Kidd presented "the council with a draft letter that seeks an agreement with the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Washington, D.C., "for the purposes of allowing patrol officers to engage in task force activities and which authorizes these local law enforcement officers to perform certain delineated immigration enforcement functions"

    Huh. What, in this case, would constitute a "wrong-doer?"

    He who cast the second stone?

I encourage you to share your own views and experience with me and other readers. How you do that matters, and I'm committed to maintaining a place where readers and commenters can feel safe from adolescent BS. So here's the deal:

There are two kinds of anonymous comments: those by people who have a genuine fear of revenge from the dark side, and those from darksiders just hiding to avoid accountability. You may post comments anonymously, but I reserve the right to treat anonymous comments as found items that belong to me and do with them as I see fit.

If, on the other hand, you're willing to stand by your convictions and post under your own name or a regular handle, your comments belong to you, and I'll edit them only on egregious violations of respect for others.

If this doesn't work for you, I'm sure you'll be happier somewhere else.
