Carcieri will name advisory group on immigration
PROVIDENCE -- Governor Carcieri, after meeting with Rhode Island clergy today about his executive order cracking down on illegal immigration, said there will be an advisory group to monitor how the order is carried out.
Bishop Thomas Tobin of the Diocese of Providence called the meeting with the governor today "wonderful and productive."
The order has drawn controversy from various groups.
The governor did not know what the make-up of the advisory group would be.
Carcieri said he is not rescinding the order, but will seek input about how it is being implemented from his advisory board.

Hang in there Governor Carcieri. It's time for these ILLEGAL ALIENS to return to their home country and get out of our Country.
No truer words were said, when you said, "IF YOU'RE HERE ILLEGALLY, YOU SHOULDN'T BE HERE."
How can anyone argue with that?
All the very best, Governor Carcieri. I wish our Governor here in Delaware, Governor Minner, would issue an executive order to free our State of the 40,000 ILLEGAL ALIENS. They don't belong here, either.
