New Immigration Policy for Mesa

Mesa is set to announce a new immigration policy on Wednesday (here is the Tribune article). Its not clear if this is in the wake of Sheriff Arpaio being in town last week or if this a fulfillment of one of Scott Smith's campaign promises or a little of both.

Mesa has needed a defined immigration policy for some time to help battle its image as a "sactuary city." The new deal cut with ICE combined with a new policy could go a long way to battle these perceptions. It will be interesting to see what they come out with tomorrow.
