Immigration Crackdown: Reversals by immigration officials are sowing mistrust

If the "laws ... are unfair and outdated," why is the administration not just enforcing them, but - as with Secure Communities - pushing their implementation? So we don't buy that explanation. 

Reversals by immigration officials are sowing mistrust: "Advocates on both the right and the left say these and other incidents have created a climate of mistrust in which immigration officials initially tell people want they want to hear, only to antagonize them later when reality kicks in.

Defenders of the administration say the problem is that officials have been placed in the impossible position of enforcing laws that they themselves believe are unfair and outdated." Nov. 22, 2010, Washington Post
