Union allies with Watchdogs after mayor’s directive
‘Don’t ask, don’t tell, don’t arrest’ policy for illegal immigrants violates federal law, group alleges
Just what is Wishnie wishin for ?

hordes of babbling confusticated and befuddled YLS grads running about like Damien is their career counselor
The comment by Mr. Gold is taken out of context. I do not believe it is so much they want a murder but that the statistics regarding crimes committed by illegal aliens would perhaps be more noticed if there was a higher profile crime involved.
Mr. Gold doesn't appreciate the how good the college educated are at ignoring everything but their own point of view. He'll be wrong, no matter what the statistics say.
College should stick to education. Its only to easy to see which classes they dropped in favor of those classes that promote the progressive lefts causes.
This is a tempest in a teakettle. There have always been some racist cops in the NHPD, and this union guy is one of the worst. But the fact is, most cops support the General Order because they have NO desire to be out there doing the work of the federal immigration police, they just want to bust real criminals and they know focusing on immigration issues is just a distraction.
This just demonstrates the modus operandi of the City of New Haven during DeStefano's regime, i.e. Yale says "Jump" and DeStefano asks "How high?" The two parties in the "two-party system" of New Haven are the left-wing Democrats and Yale. So much for democracy.
FYI, non-citizens commit far LESS crime than do native-born citizens, so we're better off having undocumented immigrants willing to report crime and serve as witnesses, rather than being afraid of cops (see www.ailf.org/ipc/special_report/sr_022107.pdf).
AND, the two largest police organizations in the country have endorsed policies just like this one (see http://www.houstontx.gov/police/pdfs/mcc_position.pdf & http://www.theiacp.org/documents/pdfs/Publications/PoliceChiefsGuidetoImmigration.pdf).
For reasons such as these, more than 100 cities around the country have adopted policies just like this General Order.
That study is a crock.
It uses incarceration rates, not criminality rates. Non-citizens, especially those who are here illegally, are often deported instead of some or all of their prison sentence, or even just handed over to the immigration officials for deportation instead of tried for domestic crimes. This will result in much lower incarceration rates than their level of criminality would otherwise indicate.
Also, immigrants have stronger connections abroad and weaker connections domestically, meaning that they will have a higher propensity to flee the country if the cops are after them.
Finally, they do not separate legal immigrants from illegal immigrants. Legal immigrants have to go through all kinds of background checks to be permitted to come here, and generally cannot have a criminal record, so of course they will be less likely to commit crimes. It is the illegal immigrants whose criminality is at issue.
The study is a very clever lie crafted by a pro-illegal immigration special interest group.
"We'd like a murder," that's a telling quote from Mr. Gold.
