Oregon Voters to Decide on Sanctuary State:  An Oregon ballot measure will allow voters to decide if the state will remain a sanctuary for illegal aliens.  Andrew Selsky of the Associated Press reports that Oregon became the nation's first sanctuary state to prevent racial profiling by law enforcement, but is was the Legislature, not voters which had made that decision.  Measure 105, which will be voted on next Tuesday, has divided law enforcement, with 16 county sheriffs supporting it and 20 opposing it.   A member of the opposition, Washington County Sheriff Pat Garrett, believes that voting down the law would "degrade community trust in law enforcement."
