News stories are focusing on the nation's second-highest unemployment rate and 11 straight months of job losses in Rhode Island.

"We're not going out into the community and looking for illegal aliens - when they get here they've already committed local crimes," he said. ...With 287(g) there isn't racial profiling going on.
