Sullivan, Taylor at odds on immigrant issue

Associated Press - June 7, 2007 9:35 AM ET

TULSA, Okla. (AP) - Republican Congressman John Sullivan of Tulsa and Democratic Tulsa Mayor Kathy Taylor are challenging each other on the issue of illegal immigrants.

Sullivan is pointing to the weekend release of what he calls a "criminal illegal alien" after the man was first arrested on drug and traffic charges.

The man was later re-arrested at the office of a bail bond agent.

Sullivan says Taylor should support a policy of requiring police to check the legal status of people they arrest.

Taylor responded by saying Congress needs to take action on illegal immigration instead of lecturing the city of Tulsa on how to run its business.
