John Sisson, candidate for Sheriff in Hamilton County, Texas is this month’s “Sneak of the Month” for promising to stop enforcing the immigration laws if he is elected.
Sisson opposes the Secure Communities program that allows local law enforcement to compare the fingerprints of arrestees with a national computer database to determine is the individual in question should be deported.
“I was appalled to see what (Secure Communities) was doing to the Hispanic community and the immigrant community here,” Sisson said. “I felt like it was very inhumane to be lazy and not do the research and say, ‘We’ll just hold everybody for deportation and not even mess with the particulars.’”
