Bradley County Deals with Illegal Immigration
Submitted by Jason Law on July 23, 2007 - 4:26pm.

Bradley County Commissioner Jeff Yarber says illegal immigration has become a major problem.

Yarber says Bradley County is becoming a "sanctuary" for immigrants looking for work and a place to live.

Tonight commissioners will try to figure out a way to curb the growing number of illegal immigrants...

One idea is to go after the people who hire and house them.

Commissioner Jeff Yarber: "[We should] hold renters responsible who rent to illegals...hold people who have companies and employ illegal immigrants hold them some folks say that's the first step."


Mondays meeting will begin at the Bradley County Courthouse in Cleveland at 7:00.
