If the council supports moving forward with 287(g), ultimately Waukegan police could obtain authority to begin deportation proceedings for illegal residents convicted of violent crimes.

That's something that many in the Hispanic community say would go too far.

Jose Guzman, a leader of the Labor Council for Latin American Advancement in Waukegan, said various activist groups plan to protest against the council's vote beginning at 5 p.m.

Guzman said he expects anywhere from 3,000 to 5,000 people to show up for a nonviolent demonstration.

So, here we are again....the ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS who claim to be law abiding citizens who are only here to work attempting to hold local government hostage to get their way.

deportation proceedings for illegal residents convicted of violent crimes.

Arrgh! How the HELL can they justify saying that goes too far?

[MrB]

Have I told anyone lately how much I despise Chicago...

Was just there - they hate kids, families, and people with cars.

[PeterFinn]

How handy. With 3,000 to 5,000 of these perps showing up the police can start deportations with THEM.

[Borges]

Who’s ‘they’? Chicago is a world class city. One of the cleanest certainly.

[CivilWarguy]

This is WAUKEGAN, a city 40 miles north of Chicago. It’s just being reported in a Chicago newspaper. The headline is misleading.

[Borges]

And the actual headline of this article is ‘Immigration rally in Waukegan’. Waukeegan is a dump that’s closer to Wisconsin than Chicago.

[Borges]

Because it isn’t the actual headline.

[yobid]

MrB probably means he tourist including people from the burbs. It’s summer in Chicago, 10-12 weeks long, when everyone and their grandma toddles into town...including criminals.

[SJackson]

I'm curious, why would you chandg the Sun-Times headline from Immigration Rally in Waukegan, not even in the same county as Chicago, and closer to Wisconsin, to Chicago, the new LA.

Makes no sense at all.

[SJackson]

Sounds to me like Waukegan is moving a bit closer to Arizona’s position, enforcement not sanctuary.

[oldenuff2no]

Who the hell do these criminals thing they are??? They come into our country ILLEGALLY and then think they have some power to demand that we do not enforce our own laws.
GET USED TO IT!
GET OVER IT!
GET OUT!!!!!

Just back up 100 buses to the end of the parade route.....

Waukegan?

Just living in the places American's won't live?

[dragnet2]

Here is downtown Chicago last year (2006) during their massive illegal alien march.

[Kuksool]

I thought Cook County has a sanctury policy which would render Waukegan’s proposal moot.

[Borges]

Waukegan is in Lake County.

[Borges]

Waukegan is in Lake County.
