Here, read it carefully -
New York (D) Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Thursday the state has secured pro bono legal counsel for Villavicencio. Cuomo said he had talked to Chica and expressed "deep frustration with the federal government's assault on New York's immigrant families."

You have taken my words and you are trying to twist them into something I did not say.
I said...
If someone is in the country illegally and breaking our laws on a daily basis, they should be arrested and deported. In fact, I believe they should be arrested, sent to prison, released to their home country, and receive a bill for the prison and transportation costs. We should also make it so that if they are caught here illegally they can never apply to be come a US citizen or get a visa ever.
We need to make it so that people will want to come to the United States, but only if they can do it legally.
In this case, I am perfectly fine with this man being arrested and deported. He entered the United States illegally, and most likely broke dozens of laws - everything from driving without a driver's license to driving without insurance, not paying taxes, etc etc etc... Even worse a non US citizen tried to enter a US military base. I don't care if he was "just doing his job" delivering pizza.
However, there is a proper way and an improper way to do this. Raiding a landscape business or a Taco Bell - that's fine. But we shouldn't be staking out schools and hospitals to find people here illegally. At the same time we cannot be arresting people for calling 9/11 - Even if they are here illegally, we still want them to report crimes.
For some reason people think Democrats are "soft" on illegal immigration. This is not true at all. Obama deported more people than any other president. The arrest and capture of people here illegally has dropped under Trump. Trump talks the talk, but doesn't walk the walk. Trump talks loud, pisses people off, and then fails to do his job.
At the very same time, it is not up to local law enforcement to be arresting such people. This is just common sense. I live in a town of fifty thousand people and at any given moment we have three or four officers on duty. Any time our police department has to arrest someone and transport them to the county lock up, it cuts our entire on call police force by 25% or more. The FBI doesn't come to my town and patrol at night, show up for fires, or set up speed traps.
