Because Attorney General Reilly declines to snitch out illegal immigrants to the Federales.
Indeed...Why the hell should he?
It is not the responsibility of the Commonwealth's Attorney General to slavishly ape the temporary fetishes of a bunch of corrupt political faddists in Washington DC.
In the absence of a single rational policy debated and duly enacted by congress and the executive department Reilly's attitude makes sense.
However, don't hold your breath for any sane immigration reform from off the banks of the Potomac this year. The praetorian class has hit on illegal aliens as a prime means to whip up the wowsers into a frothing fury, nothing more. If they retain control of congress the matter will be quietly dropped on the first Wednesday in November 2006.
Meanwhile, Kerry Healey who til now has been running as a sort of reluctant Shannon O'Brien, seems to have decided that illegal immigrants are her ticket to ride or at least they are a way to keep Massachusetts' freepers in her corner.
For all the good they will do her...
