Hatch: Admiring lawbreakers?

Current Minnesota Attorney General and DFL Governor wannabee Mike Hatch stated that he admires illegal immigrants.

MDE has the exclusive:
A rock-solid source tells MDE that Attorney General Mike Hatch made some shocking statements in remarks at the 84th Annual Minnesota Police & Peace Officers Association (MPPOA) Convention in Alexandria, MN this past Monday, June 12.

Hatch apparently told the assembled law enforcement officers that he admires illegal immigrants and that if he were in their shoes, he would do the same thing and illegally enter the United States.

This raises a number of significant questions about Mike Hatch:

1) Does Hatch admire the approximately 85,000 illegal immigrants who have come to Minnesota and are a big drain on our social services, costing Minnesota taxpayers more than $100 million per year to provide benefits for people here illegally?

2) As the state's top law enforcement officer, does this mean Hatch does not believe in enforcing federal and state immigration laws?

3) Are there other laws that Hatch thinks are improper and what other criminals does he admire?
