Chief Manger
spoke out against deputizing police officers for immigration issues except for violent criminals
Quote:

Speaking as legislative chairman of a group that represents the country's 56 largest police departments, Chief Manger told the committee that Montgomery County sends ICE the names of violent suspects and foreign-born inmates — but that like 95 percent of jurisdictions, Montgomery has and will continue to balk at 287g because it "undermines the trust and cooperation of immigrant communities," is too costly for most agencies and requires training that "would significantly detract from the core mission of local police to create safe communities."

Rev. Hunter should be for it since he's part of the Obama Administration, and I'm guessing Mr. Greenspan is there to talk about how immigration affects the economy.

Senior Fellow, Migration Policy Institute
Former Commissioner, U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service

Eliseo Medina
Executive Vice President
Service Employees International Union

Ms. Meissner is from the non partisan Migration Policy Institute so she's probably there to give some facts on immigration. Mr. Medina is from the SEIU and will be for immigration reform.
Looks like all the panelists are either neutral or supportive for the need for immigration reform.
