Farnham responds:

Hi Doug,

Rep. Farnham asked me to respond to your email. He is against HB 929, which would allow counties to opt out of the Secure Communities Act. He is hopeful that the federal government will get its act together and develop a comprehensive immigration plan. It is important for the federal government to play a central role in implementing a nationwide system, rather than having a patchwork of plans among states.

If you have any other questions please send me your contact number and I'll have Rep. Farnham call you to discuss further.

Thank you.

I guess the key to getting a response is to tell him you're going to blog about it.

His position isn't very bold, given the fact that Quinn has neutered the ICE program with his recent letter.
