From the Associated Press via Fox Five TV in Atlanta:

“McCormick said he wants a *path to citizenship for immigrants who “follow the law,” but supports a program where local police agencies partner with the federal government to arrest people in the country without legal permission, saying it takes criminals off the street. Bourdeaux opposes that policy, saying it breeds fear of police in immigrant communities and makes the district less safe because people then won’t call the authorities when they see crime.” Here.

But…

McCormick answered “yes” to the below question on amnesty/legalization for illegal aliens to NumbersUSA (here):

1.) Oppose Amnesty? Do you OPPOSE offering the officially estimated 11 million people illegally in the U.S. a path to U.S. citizenship and/or long-term work permits (whether through a blanket amnesty or an “earned legalization” or other form)?

  • [  ] YES

  • [  ] NO

  • [  ] NOT TAKING A POSITION Comments:

It is necessary to cut through the agenda-driven dishonesty of the Associated Press and its intentional misuse of the word “immigrants.”
