Cook County sheriff candidate vs. sanctuary policy


Look what candidate for Cook County Sheriff Frederick Collins has to say about illegal immigration and Chicago's Sanctuary City policies.

"Illegal Immigration - We need to enforce the existing laws

"The concern regarding the impact of illegal immigration on America is rising. There is a theme emerging that reflects our traditional values in wanting to protect our way of life. Jobs are becoming scarcer by the moment and our economy struggles to recover while carrying over 7,000,000 illegal immigrants on its welfare system. There are Federal Laws that exist to protect us from those who wish to benefit from our great nation with out respecting our laws and going through the proper steps to gain citizenship. At the state and local level, such laws must be enforced. The Cook County Sheriff's responsibility is not to interpret the law but to enforce it. Cook County cannot continue to be a sanctuary for illegal immigrants. Enforcing the existing laws will deter others from taking up illegal residency and also the illegal employment of illegal immigrants. Those who hire undocumented workers should be fined and or prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. This has to stop. Illegal immigrants represent 3.1% of the adult population but account for 4.5% of the overall prison population. It is imperative that the sheriff department enforce the law concerning illegal immigration and as sheriff I will do just that.

"Imagine!...a candidate for Cook County Sheriff who wants to enforce the existing laws...can it really be true!"
