DAVIDSON COUNTY, TN - Gov. Phil Bredesen yesterday expressed support for a plan by Nashville-area law enforcement officials to step up identification and deportation of undocumented immigrants who pass through Metro jails. Bredesen spoke at a news conference yesterday where Davidson County Sheriff Daron Hall announced that he had sent a letter to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials asking that a federal immigration computer system and full-time immigration officer be placed in the local jail. "If there's anything true about the federal government, it's that the squeaky wheel gets the oil or gets the grease," Bredesen said. "And I think what the sheriff has done here, and what I hope other communities do, is really step up and start squeaking." Nashville's program would mirror a similar effort in Charlotte, N.C.
