I had to look up what the secure communities program was because I wasn't aware of it before.

While I agree wholeheartedly that Menio has to go, I'm not so sure that I really trust this program.

From this May article in the NY Times

snip:

State officials and federal lawmakers have questioned the program, saying that Homeland Security officials conveyed misleading information about whether participation was mandatory or whether states could opt out...

...The states’ objections are setting up a confrontation with the Department of Homeland Security, whose secretary, Janet Napolitano, has said that Secure Communities is mandatory and will be extended to all jurisdictions in the country by 2013.

Why don't they stop the insentive for coming here in the first place? Stop the illegal subsidies and bennefits!

It is my understanding that States are not Constitutionally subject to Federal dictates.

If they can't get the ones incarcerated for violent crimes, it just seems idiodic to me. That is a failure of the system!

You're right about this video.. Menino should be jailed for not enforcing the law and even encouraging breaking it. He's a clown.
