Fletcher seeks to help check illegal immigration, an idea Beshear also supports.

Gov. Fletcher wants to do something about illegal aliens who have served or are serving their jail/prison terms to ensure that they get deported after serving their sentences.

Great move on the Gov.'s part that Kentucky's Congressional delegation also supports.

And so does Steve Beshear, though he saw the move as a "a political stunt", since "Ernie Fletcher has sat on his hands for the last four years on these issues, but now he’s chosen to do it six weeks before the election."

My question is why is it limited to just correctional officers and their prisoners, and not include those stopped by police on non pre-textual traffic stops and the like?
