Law Enforcement Officials: Immigration

Immigration Status Dept: “Florida will not be a sanctuary state for illegal aliens,” Mr. McCollum, who was accompanied by state Representative Will Synder, said in a statement that also gave details of the proposed law, according to Globe And Mail. This goes beyond the existing situation in the state where officers are allowed to check for immigration status, but not required to and the proposal by Mr. McCollum, who is engaged in a tough election race as a Republican candidate for the state governorship, was certain to thrust Florida into the sensitive immigration debate that has become a hot political issue ahead of mid-term Congressional elections on Nov. 2. The legislation would require law enforcement officials to check a suspected illegal immigrant’s status in the course of a stop, or a violation of another law. As reported in the news.
