Whose side is he on?

While I would like to let the immigration issue go, this just couldn't be ignored. Portland mayor objects to arresting illegals in sting. It's hard to understand how a man, who was at one time Portland's police chief, can not understand how if it was illegal for some to supply phony Social Security cards, it's also illegal for some to use them. What about illegal doesn't this man understand? We're just lucky he's not still head of Portland's police department...
