When even the Legal Aid Society opposes a bill that ties cops’ hands, you can be pretty sure it’s fatally flawed.

BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU ASK FOR!
Westchester's Immigrant Protection Act will make
it a criminal destination.

I support County Executive Rob Astorino's vow to veto the IPA (Sanctuary County bill). I applaud County Exec. Astorino and Hispanic Law Enforcement Association President Hector Lopez for having the courage to buck the County Legislators in their misguided attempt to addressing the immigration problem.

They will create a free amnesty zone for illegal immigrant felons who will not be able to be detained,  searched or questioned by the Feds.

Immigrant does not equal criminal. There are many immigrants that went through the process to get their green cards and residency. They are not happy having to live with predatory violent criminals in their midst. They don't need people coming to do their low pay jobs for less either.

Look at Suffolk County with its serious MS13 crime wave. Having visited there recently I learned that they concluded the only way to protect their resident immigrant community was to clamp down and ask for more federal participation not less.

Because of the increased pressure in Suffolk County gangbangers will flock to the new Westchester Sanctuary county.

MS-13 gang is linked to a startling 38 percent of all the homicides in normally placid Suffolk County over the last 16 months, its besieged police chief told a startled Senate panel Wednesday.

Since Jan. 1, 2016, 17 of 45 murders in the county have been connected to the brutal gang, testified Police Commissioner Timothy Sini.

He said MS-13 engages in selling drugs, stealing and extortion, but unlike other gangs, the primary motivation isn’t to make money but to terrorize the community.

MS-13 often engages in violence for the sake of violence,” Sini told the Senate Homeland Security Committee, “to increase notoriety of the gang and to cause communities to fear the gang and its members. Their main purpose is just to exist, to be an entity and to have people be loyal to them and the loyalty extends to macheteing people to death."

In all, there have been 27 murders in Suffolk County since 2013 attributed to the gang.

The suffolk County commissioner has asked Congress to increase the number of federal prosecutors in the area so gang members could be charged under the federal RICO organized crime statute.

As they crack down in Suffolk County and we soften up in Westchester County, we will open the door for undocumented immigrants involved in criminal activity like the ruthless MS-13 gang. They will migrate to Westchester and prey on our immigrant community.

Westchester County's Immigrant Protection Act (IPA) will put public safety at risk — starting with the very immigrants it claims to protect.

That fear is justified. Recall the horror stories of illegal immigrants shielded by “sanctuary cities” who go on to commit heinous crimes. In the city, Mayor de Blasio’s policies recently led to the release from Rikers Island of an admitted gang member sought by the feds.

Westchester public-safety boss George Longworth worries the bill would make “families and police officers less safe."

Astorino warns, the bill “puts Westchester at odds” with Washington, “creates rights not available to ordinary citizens” and endangers $13 million in federal funds by undermining cooperation with the feds.

County lawmakers think they’ll score political points by championing illegal immigrants. In reality, they are on the verge of creating a haven for one of the most heinous gangs ion the world.

Contact your County Legislators and send 
County Exec. Astorino your support.
