Yes I did. You have to consider how he's handling it though. He will pick a Hispanic neighborhood then on one day he will send 100's of cops there to harass all the residents...also known as "racial profiling". I remember reading about the wedding he ruined by doing something like this. Anyway I suppose he probably means well on this subject - but he really abuses his office a lot of other ways which is why he's under a federal investigation.
