Heated debate on immigration
Morristown Mayor Donald Cresitello challenged Governor Corzine and other state officials to crack down on undocumented workers during a rally Saturday on the steps of Town Hall.
Cresitello has led his town into the national spotlight by asking the federal government, under a program known as 287G, to deputize 10 police officers as immigration agents.
“I challenge Jon Corzine today to hire additional inspectors and enforcers of the Department of Labor who have the legal obligation to monitor contractors, businesses, restaurants, corporations and make sure that they are following the laws of the state of New Jersey,” he said to the cheers of roughly 100 supporters on the front lawn of Town Hall.
“I also call upon the governors of this country and specifically the governor of the state to protect the rest of the workers of the state … and enforce the labor law of the state,” he said.
The rally’s sponsor, ProAmerica Society, contends federal authorities have not used the full arsenal of immigration laws to stop illegal entries or find and deport people who are in the United States unlawfully.
