Mayors worried about immigration raids
June 20th, 2008, 2:26 pm · Post a Comment · posted by Amy Taxin
It looks like Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa has a bit of company.

According to this story by USA Today, the mayors of Oakland and Seattle are joining in his cry for Immigration and Customs Enforcement to scale back raids on businesses and focus their efforts on criminal gangs.

The mayors - who plan to raise the issue at the annual meeting of the U.S. Conference of Mayors — say the ICE raids are hurting otherwise-responsible businesses and could drain local economics of much needed revenue.
