Mass. gov.-elect says no to trooper pact
By GLEN JOHNSON, Associated Press Writer
1 hour, 57 minutes ago
BOSTON - Gov.-elect Deval Patrick said Thursday he will rescind a new agreement between the state and federal authorities that allows State Police troopers to arrest illegal immigrants.
The incoming governor said he believes the troopers have enough to do already without having to also enforce the nation's immigration laws.
"If I have that power, I'm going to rescind that agreement," Patrick, a Democrat, told reporters. "I do believe I have that power."
On Dec. 13, Republican Gov. Mitt Romney signed an agreement with federal authorities allowing troopers to arrest and seek deportation of suspected illegal aliens they encountered during their normal duties.
Under the terms of the deal with the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, an initial group of 30 troopers was to receive five weeks of specialized training next year, paid by the federal government.
Romney, a potential candidate for president in 2008, said at the time: "The scope of our nation's illegal immigration problem requires us to pursue and implement new solutions wherever possible."
The change marks the second split with the Romney administration in two days. On Wednesday, Patrick said he cannot support a plan to remove tolls on the western portion of the Massachusetts Turnpike.
Patrick takes office Jan. 4.

Well I personally don't see. If the House and Senate of the State passed that and the Governor at that time signs it. I don't see anyway he could cancel it. It would have to go back to the house and Senate again as another bill.
