There are plenty of examples were law enforcement officers and or chiefs, and even sheriffs have exercised their powers to go after illegals without having to be asked or ordered to do so by the local Governments.

It is not as if the illegal alien issue has only cropped up in the last year.

Recall the 7-11 compromise the department did with the ACLU and other illegal alien supporters. Surely Deane had a say in that.

The facts I refer to are that Deane was not for the program. Deane had not taken a hard stance on illegals before the program. If it was left to him the department would not have started the program.

Perhaps, COM, because that is not the ONLY responsibility he has? And by the way, pushing ANY policy on the BOS is NOT one of his responsibilities. If he’s “doing the program” as you say, then he is doing his job with regard to the illegal aliens.

This meeting with official representatives of foreign governments, secretly, behind closed doors is a completely different issue. The fact that he was non-responsive to a request from the Chairman of the BOS for information disclosing the purpose and substance of those meetings (which was a wholly appropriate request) is what actually concerned me. Dolph disagreed, and I’ve got no problem with that…because it’s her opinion, to which she is entitled as much as I, or you for that matter.

“Opinions need to be based on some sort of logic and fact, not just well that is my opinion and I am sticking to it, even though it flies in the face of facts.”

My question to you, COM, is what YOUR basis in logic and fact for your opinion might be? I have yet to see it. It’s rather unfair to hold someone to a higher standard than that to which you hold yourself.

First off, I do not support NCLB. I just used it as an example of where Dolph does not compromise and does not want to listen to any type of reason, for why the program should continue.

If she does not want illegals, why has she defended a person who clearly is not in favor of removing them from the Community?

She admitted that Deane is only doing the program because the BOS passed it, and not because he showed true leadership by pushing it to the BOS.

Opinions are fine, but I suppose I could say in my opinion the sun sets in the East and no matter what people said I was right and they were wrong. Opinions need to be based on some sort of logic and fact, not just well that is my opinion and I am sticking to it, even though it flies in the face of facts.

Dolph does not mix bones about her hatred of NCLB. To her NCLB should be ended tomorrow, no but or ifs of lets take a look, nothing but ending it will satisfy her. Yet, when it comes to illegals, she has the complete different reaction. She has waffled on the issue of illegal immigration more than once, and that is what causes people to question her on the issue.

The fact she is attempting to defend Deane when he was against the program is just one more reason to question if she truly is against illegal immigration.

The fact she does not have a problem with a foreign Government, who is not only openly supportive of illegal immigration, is also openly pushing for the border between America and Mexico to disappear, is another reason to question her true feelings on illegal immigration.

And watch out for “Purple”…… just a feeling … all wrapped into one package!
