COURTS By Don Thompson The Associated Press SACRAMENTO A North- ern California sheriff is harshly criticizing Presi- dent Barack Obama's ap- proach to illegal immigra- tion after the recent fatal shootings of two deputies, just as the president an- nounces his own executive action on the issue. Sacramento County Sheriff Scott Jones vowed to crusade against ille- gal immigration after the shooting rampage last month by a Mexican man with a long criminal his- tory who was in the coun- try illegally. "Simply stated, you're the only singular per- son in this entire country that can advance or adopt meaningful immigration reform," Jones said, ad- dressing the president di- rectly in the video posted by his office Wednesday on YouTube. "By that very def- inition then, it is your sin- gular failure alone as to why we do not yet have re- form, why America contin- ues to be at risk, and new crimes and new victims are mounting each and every day in every single state." Jones said any national immigration policy must start with securing the na- tion's borders and should not include amnesty or de- ferred action for those who are in the country illegally. He also blamed the pres- ident for what he termed "the hands-off" immigra- tion policy adopted by fed- eral agencies. In a prime-time address Thursday night, Obama is expected to announce an executive order that would allow about 5 million im- migrants to remain in the country. The vast majority of those would be parents who are in the country il- legally but whose children are U.S. citizens or perma- nent residents. The man charged with killing the two depu- ties is the type of immi- grant the Obama admin- istration has worked ag- gressively to deport. The administration has had more than 2 million de- portations, with a prior- ity on deporting anyone who poses a public safety threat or has a serious im- migration history. In his eight-minute video, Jones sits behind a desk in uniform, an American flag by his side. He says he does not di- rectly blame Obama for the deaths last month of Sacramento County Sher- iff's Deputy Danny Oliver or Placer County Sher- iff's Detective Michael Davis Jr. A third deputy and a bystander also were wounded. But he said the shoot- ing suspect, Utah resident Luis Enrique Monroy-Bra- camonte, had been de- ported four times — twice more than previously dis- closed by U.S. Immigra- tion and Customs Enforce- ment. Monroy-Bracamonte and his wife, Janelle Mar- quez Monroy, have not yet entered pleas to multiple charges, including murder. Jones lauded California's large and productive pop- ulation of immigrants who are in the country illegally and said he is not anti-im- migration. But he said that population also includes criminals. "Like their American criminal counterparts, they commit murders, sexual assaults, kidnaps, thefts, engage in violent gang activity and murder police officers. The prob- lem I have is I can't tell which ones are good and which ones are evil, and neither can you. By their very definition, they are undocumented, untracked, untraced and unaccounted for," he said. "See, this is not about racism," Jones added later. "It is about an increas- ingly violent and uncertain world in which we are in- adequately protected." DEPUTIES KILLED Sa cr am en to C ou nt y sh er iff c ri ti ci ze s Ob am a on i mmi gr at io n SACRAMENTOCOUNTYSHERIFF'SDEPT.—THEASSOCIATEDPRESS Sacramento County Sheriff Scott Jones criticizes President Barack Obama's approach to illegal immigration a er the recent fatal shootings of two deputies by a Mexican man with a long criminal history who was in the country illegally. By Kevin Freking The Associated Press WASHINGTON Sen. Dianne Feinstein said Thursday that congressional efforts to pro- vide drought relief to Central Valley farmers and commu- nities are dead for the year. She vowed to try again in 2015, but the outcome could be even less certain because Republicans will control both houses of Con- gress after they retook the Senate in this month's mid- term elections. "Although we have made progress, it has become clear that we will be unable to present an agreed-upon proposal before Congress adjourns this year," Fein- stein said in a statement. She was one of the key players trying to bridge ma- jor differences between sep- arate bills. The House passed a bill in February that focused on rolling back environ- mental protections so more water could be diverted to farmers in the Central Val- ley. The Senate approved a more narrow measure that required federal agencies to pump as much water to farmers as possible without violating existing laws. The differences were stark, and compromise seemed difficult from the start. Feinstein worked with House Republicans behind the scenes trying to craft a measure that could pass both the House and a Dem- ocratic-controlled Senate. Environmental and fish- ing groups, as well as some members of Congress from Northern California, criti- cized the backroom negotia- tions and said their interests were not being represented. They worried that water would be diverted from their communities to appease ag- ricultural interests. They applauded Fein- stein's announcement Thursday. "Wehavebeenraisingseri- ous objections to both the se- cretiveprocessandtheharm- ful content of this legislation. We will continue to demand next year that any water leg- islation responding to Cal- ifornia's severe drought be balanced and take into con- sideration the array of stake- holders in California," seven Democratic lawmakers said in a news release. The state's salmon fish- ing industry is glad the talks have ended. John Mc- Manus, executive director of the Golden State Salmon As- sociation, called the poten- tial legislation arising from the negotiations a "threat to our jobs and livelihood."
