Update on yesterday’s immigration demonstration

Yesterday’s meeting held by the CT Citizens for Immigration Control [commentary here] went off without too much incident despite 150 protesters at the scene. Mary Long, one of the speakers and organizers, felt that a third public meeting might not be worthwhile.

Yep. Neither is alienating the immigrant community.

I’ve said this before - under the Federal Code, illegal immigration is a crime, so that’s certainly not an issue. What is an issue - is how these opponents of illegal immigration are turning it into some form of crusade against all immigrants (see: Danbury’s ridiculous volleyball ban and references to 9/11). Let’s keep the issue strictly to enforcing US law and all will be good.

Which, by the way, anyone practising criminal defense - either state or federal - will tell you is happening. There are plenty of people being deported all the time, that too after serving their sentences here.
