Lamar Smith Defends Immigration Law Enforcement
Your article "New Curbs Set on Arrests of Illegal Immigrants" (U.S. News, July 11) reveals the latest move by the Obama administration to handcuff local police and make it harder for them to find and deport illegal immigrants.
As the co-author of the legislation enacting the 287g program, I can attest that it was created to let state and local law-enforcement officials help enforce all immigration laws, not a select few. It only makes sense to remove illegal immigrants from the streets before they commit more serious crimes.
Now, the Department of Homeland Security appears to be trying to intimidate agencies that are successfully helping the federal government enforce our nation's immigration laws. DHS is changing the rules for sheriffs and police departments. The ultimatum: Sign on to our new program in 90 days, or you are kicked out!
The DHS should do more, not less, to protect the lives and property of all Americans and make our communities safer.

Valley Interfaith Project -- a nonpartisan, broad-based, nonprofit community organization of congregations, schools, unions and nonprofits in Maricopa County -- applauds the move to address the chaotic conditions and rogue behavior of some local law-enforcement officials who have used the 287g program to harass immigrants while draining resources from the suppression of serious crime. We expect that the new guidelines will help rein in Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, whose sweeps of immigrant neighborhoods have spread fear while undermining efforts to bring hard-core criminals to justice.
The families in our institutions live every day with the outcomes of a broken system in a state and a county that is ground zero for the consequences of failed immigration policies.
