Town Meeting on Illegal Immigration in Bradley County
Submitted by Reneé LaSalle on August 31, 2007 - 12:11am. News | Immigration: Cost of Freedom

Heated opinions on illegal immigration at the Bradley County courthouse Thursday night.

The meeting of concerned citizens was organized by Bradley County resident Noella Oberlin who is herself an immigrant.

Oberlin says there is a right way and a wrong way to come to the United States.

She says those who don't go through the immigration process shouldn't be here and many in attendance agree.

"(Mike Cecil - Concerned Citizen) People are just tired of it, and they're tired of them getting a free ride and us who've been here and paid our taxes, paid our dues to this country can't even get it."

Cecil says he was recently forced to move because of the violent activity of illegal aliens in his neighborhood.

We once were a country where everyone including legal immigrants understood the rule of law. One law for everyone, applied equally. That means our immigration law should be applied to every individual who wants to come here fairly and in the same way. The illegals come from failed countries, third world countries where the government does not function, is corrupt and does NOT abide by the rule of law. Instead it is who has most power, or most political influence, or yells loudest. The illegals coming to the USA are following this third world system of anarachy from which they fled. They think they are entitled, by yelling racism, or "family being torn apart" to do away with all our immigrations laws and get preference for themselves. We have to stop this NOW. All 20 million must be deported or forced to self deport. Or we will no longer be a nation of laws. Americans are already starting to say, why should I obey the law, the illegals don't. Our politicians better be very careful about this issue. They want to avoid offending anyone, but could end up with a society where the rule of law is no longer followed.
