County may become `sanctuary' for undocumented immigrants
By Oscar Avila

CHICAGO - A resolution introduced Thursday would make Cook County a "sanctuary" for undocumented immigrants, meaning authorities could not inquire about their immigration status in routine interactions.
Cook County Commissioner Roberto Maldonado, the measure's sponsor, said he wants to prevent the county from joining a growing group of local jurisdictions that are cooperating with the Department of Homeland Security to enforce immigration laws.
If the measure passes, Maldonado said, sheriff's deputies could not ask for immigration papers during traffic stops and county employees could not report suspected illegal immigrants to federal authorities.
Maldonado said he has no evidence that county officials are currently doing that.
The measure offers illegal immigrants no protection from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, who are free to make arrests in the county. But Maldonado said the resolution is still important because turning county authorities into immigration agents would detract from their other duties.
Those who support sanctuary policies say they don't want to send illegal immigrants underground. Earlier this year, the Chicago City Council strengthened its sanctuary policy by turning a long-standing executive order into law.
But critics say sanctuary policies undermine law enforcement and let criminals go free when they might otherwise be arrested for immigration violations. Residents in Elgin and other suburbs have recently appealed to their elected officials to become more aggressive in assisting with immigration enforcement.
The County Board did not discuss the resolution Thursday. Maldonado said he hopes to have a public hearing on the measure before the Law Enforcement and Corrections Committee. The hearing has not yet been scheduled.Support our FIGHT AGAINST illegal immigration & Amnesty by joining our E-mail Alerts at http://eepurl.com/cktGTn

Cook County, you better wake up and smell the crap before you even begin to think Chicago should become a sanctuary for illegal aliens.
Take a look at Denver....a sanctuary city.....because of a Mayor who runs a restaurant, hires illegal aliens, gives them protection, forbids the police who work under him to inquire about status....ruining the city. And what happened? Well, one of the illegal alien workers working in the Mayor's restaurant killed a police officer on a routine traffic stop. The officer had a wife and two young children.
Was the price of that officer's life and the eternal loss to his family worth the cheap labor contribution this killer made to the Denver "economy"?
Nope.
And guess what? He fled to Mexico and they refused to extradite him back to the US because...well....you know....we have the Death Penalty. So the Denver District Attorney's Office had to negotiate with the Mexican Government and reduce the charges to avoid the Death Penalty.
Then I lost track of the case.
Tell ya what you ought to do Cook County is burn that resolution at a bonfire....and tell Commissioner Maldonado not to ever bring such treasonous harmful crap up again.
That's what I do.
