I believe the description that you printed of my comments regarding the County Board of Supervisors were taken out of context because you did and include that I also said, “If you do feel it necessary to address the national debate on immigration reform, I would think it would be suffice to state that the city of Hollister 1) believes that immigration reform should be addressed, 2) cares about its residents, 3) supports keeping families intact, and 4) needs an adequate labor force, of which immigrants are a key component” and the point I was making was that the supervisors should not be addressing specific policies better taken at the federal level.
