Man...had to "rub my eyes" to make sure I was NOT misunderstanding this Denverpost.com editorial.

We hope the governor's effort to get the "real facts" on the Secure Communities program isn't an attempt to delay it.

EXTRACTS:
We hope Gov. John Hickenlooper's pledge to evaluate the operation of a federal immigration program in Colorado isn't the opening note of a song that other Democratic governors have begun to sing
...It would be very disappointing if Hickenlooper's efforts to get the "real facts" on Secure Communities were to turn into a declaration that the state wouldn't participate, as has been the case recently in Massachusetts, Illinois and New York.
...It's not a state's choice whether the federal government enforces immigration laws, and the governors who have declared they are "opting out" of the program are pandering to vocal constituencies and not considering the big picture.
...[Puke] Critics...say the government has, in practice, deported too many people whose only transgression is being in the country illegally. (Uhhh..."critics"...yeah...critics...how about we just continue to define them with a term that is fitting...pieces-o-shit. "But...but...they are ONLY here illegally...and...we are deporting too many of them.")
We don't object to Gov. Hickenlooper taking a closer look at the operation of Secure Communities in Colorado. However, we hope this isn't a harbinger of a misguided attempt to put up a roadblock to federal enforcement of federal immigration laws.
So...Guv'na Lickmypooper...what are we going to do? Go the way of liberal shit-holes like NY, MA and IL or...? We, the LEGAL FOLKS, will be here waiting for your answer.
