SAN MARCOS (KUSI) – The San Diego County Board of Supervisors voted on a number of issues this past week, one being a controversial program that will provide taxpayer-funded legal representation for undocumented immigrants facing removal proceedings. The board voted 3-2, with County Supervisor Jim Desmond being one of the county leaders who voted against funding attorneys for undocumented immigrants. KUSI’s Elizabeth Alvarez asked Desmond why he voted against the measure, to which he responded that there are a few reasons explaining his choice. Deportation is a federal issue, not a local issue, to which local tax should not be applied, Desmond explained.
