Emi on illegal aliens

On March 30th, 2 year council candidate Emi Morales gave this answer when asked about illegal aliens and enforcement:
I support the measures that the city council has already enacted. In regards to what some of the other candidates have spoken about, the 287g program I have had the ability to research on. And to expand a little bit on what Ms. Rodgers has stated, 287g they do not have programming funds to implement that. And as many of you have stated that you don’t feel safe in your communities and feel that as far as seeing police in your communities has been down. If we do implement this program, our own funds from the city will have to be used to implement this program, and therefore that will take away from the policemen being out in your community policing. And that will lead to racial profiling because they will be out there looking for undocumented residents. I think that we need to relook at that and really rethink that. And I think our residents really need to rethink that. We are facing a really tough time right now economically and to utilize our funds to that program I don’t think would be the direction that our residents want us to go on.

I have a copy of the "playbook" issued by La Raza called, "Sample Talking Points- Why shouldn't local police enforce federal immigration laws?- A toolkit for advocates."

Among the "Talking Points"
~It's too expensive
~It takes away from other police duties
~It leads to racial profiling

Hmmmm.
