Starting tomorrow, its no longer illegal to be illegal in Somerville, according to Mayor Joseph A. Curtatone, who is slated to sign an executive order Thursday barring his cops from holding undocumented aliens in jail simply for immigration violations an unprecedented move, even in the Bay State, though other communities may quickly follow suit.
We need to stop villainizing these people and start solving the problem, Curtatone told the Herald yesterday. Massachusetts holds itself out as a progressive state. We should lead the way. We hold ourselves out as a progressive community that believes in fairness and doing the right thing. This is morally the right thing to do.
Somerville which made national headlines in 2012 for banning the word illegal in reference to illegal immigrants would be the first community in Massachusetts to join the so-called Trust Act movement, a national push to relax immigration enforcement.
Police would only comply with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detainers to hold illegals if they had a criminal warrant or if police had a non-immigration-related legal purpose, Curtatone plans to announce today at a press conference.

>>The only change to Secure Communities that would make a real difference would be to end the program. Anything short of that will perpetuate the blurring of lines between local and federal agencies, undermine community trust in law enforcement and undermine public safety. Cities and counties in Massachusetts should follow Somervilles example. Some are already considering similar policies.
well Hello RomneyBot ...
Pimpin for your master again I see ...
These people,most of whom have never even set foot in Massachusetts,think they know how “Romneycare” came about...
______________________________________
Kid Ive been in MASS...
Its not called RomneyCare for nothing...
Also Willard is the father of same sex marriage...
But don’t tell Janie and the Gay State guy that...
They’ll have a conniption fit...
Can we send them all of ours ?
OK...first a question and then a (very) short quiz:
The question....have you ever *set foot* in Massachusetts?
The quiz: Name two noteworthy things that the last three Speakers of the Massachusetts House of Representatives have in common.
Wow...you've "been in Massachusetts".Well,I've been in Tennessee and let me tell you about your governors...
Apart from my time wearing a set of dogtags,I've lived my *entire* life in Massachusetts.I'd wager the clothes on my back that I've forgotten more about Massachusetts than you've ever known.
And,FYI,I'm old enough to remember gas at 25 cents a gallon so don't call me "kid"...unless you want me to refer to you as "sweet cheeks".
have you ever *set foot* in Massachusetts?
_______________________________________
I told you I had in Post #23..
My other foot and my cute butt too..
and all 4 wheels of my car..
why are you asking me the same dumb question again ???
Plus don’t you think what Willard did when he forced same sex marriage on MASS that it didn’t effect us here in Tennessee ???
Progressive Willard brought the evil of legalizing homosexuality on the whole country..
Only that old eh ??
gas at 25 cents a gallon ???
that’s not that long ago...
I can remember when it only took a buck to fill up the whole tank...
To prove how very,very,*very* little you know about Massachusetts politics.Keep reading for another "stupid" question.
Plus dont you think what Willard did when he forced same sex marriage on MASS that it didnt effect us here in Tennessee ???
OK,here's the other "stupid" question...tell us who Margaret Marshall is and what role (if any) she's played in Massachusetts politics.And BTW...no fair googling the name.If you don't know have the common decency to admit it.
Nana - You seem to really hate Romney. Is it just Romney or all Mormons? Do you feel better when you tell out and out lies about him? It’s not healthy and it’s not Christian.
Re Massachusetts laws and politics - you have no idea what you’re talking about.
The governor - especially a Republican one - has little power to fight the legislature that is overwhelmingly Democratic.
If you want to blame anybody, blame Maggie Marshall, an import from South Africa. The governor has no control over either the legislature or the supreme court of the commonwealth.
Your allegations would be more compelling if they were factually based.
You'll have more success reasoning with a 4 year old having a temper tantrum than you will explaining what *Romney* is,and isn't,to all-to-many people here.
To prove how very,very,*very* little you know about Massachusetts politics

well if that’s all you want to know, one of these FReepers can fill you in on MASS politics, especially Willard..
One of them actually lived there and suffered under your boy Willard..

Janie were you the female RomneyBot who said she loved Willard so much she wanted to be one of his “wives” ???
Is that FReeper still around ???
Nana - You seem to really hate Romney
____________________________________________
Janie is there something lovable about abortionists ???
governors who force $50 abortions on their states ???
governors who force same sex marriage on their states ???
governors who refuse to enforce laws which will control the illegal aliens in their state ???
governors who employ illegal aliens to do the yard work at the gov mansion ???
governors who place Planned parenthood personal on their state health boards...
governors who boast they will have the judges override parental authority so that under age girls can get abortions..
for some reason I cant pant after such a male...
The Massachusetts Governor is the most powerful governor in the nation.
Romney’s radical leftism is what guided him on gay marriage, he was also a supporter of homosexuality the military, and homosexual Scout leaders, it is why he punished the Scouts during the Winter Olympics in 2002.
Mitt is famous for his powerful support for the homosexual agenda.
If you want to blame anybody, blame Maggie Marshall
____________________________________________
I don’t know who Maggie Marshall is..
Just what day was it that she held a horrible swary gun at the innocent lil fair head of po lil WillieKins and threatened his dog hmmmmm that wouldn’t have worked ...threatened to break one of his skiing legs to force him to sign that illegal same sex marriage EO ???
So you're tacitly admitting that you know nothing about this state's politics.And yet you're part of the "I'd rather see Obama in the WH than Romney" crowd.Now that you've made this admission please tell me why I shouldn't consider your opinions regarding Romney as nothing more than gaseous emissions in the wind.Oh,and BTW,as a *lifelong* resident of this state I can assure you that the opinion you have of Romney *can* be justifiably applied to 99% of this filthy state's office holders over the last 20 (or more) years.Some of those that make up that 99% are ones you've heard of but many are not.But your obsession with Romney makes me wonder if you're the type who says "well,I was mugged by a (insert racial/ethnic/religious minority here) so they must *all* be pigs".
And on one of the specific topics you seem to dwell on,Romney-wise...you *still* haven't told us who Margaret Marshall is.
The romneybots never stop.
To: Gay State Conservative
Give it a rest, RINO loving loser.
