Cherokee Co. - Illegal Immigrant Measure Passed
http://www.11alive.com/news/news_articl ... ryid=88657
Dec 5, 2006
Illegal Immigrant Measure Passed
Cherokee County Commissioners unanimously passed a measure Tuesday night that will make it illegal to rent to illegal immigrants. They also passed a measure making English the official language of Cherokee County.
Opponents of the measure were angered. They said they showed up hours early and signed up to have a chance to speak, but when the time came, commissioners told them they would not have any discussion on the issue.
Debbie Seagraves, the head of the ACLU of Georgia, says the Commissioners violated residents' First Amendment Rights by refusing to let anyone speak on either issue.
"They trampled all over immigrants tonight, it was spin the wheel on immigrant bashing in Cherokee County," said Jerry Gonzalez, Georgia Association of Latino Elected Officials.
For their part, commissioners said they know the county will likely be sued and that taxpayers will incur costs, but that it's worth it.
Opponents of the measure have already hired a team of lawyers to sue the county.
Supporters of the measure say illegal immigration is ruining their communities.
Billy Inman, a longtime Cherokee County resident, said immigrants need to be held responsible for their actions and that this is one way to do it.
"Anything to discourage this illegal immigration is a plus," said Inman.
Other communities in the United States have passed similar challenges that are being played out in court.
There is no word when the measure will take effect.Support our FIGHT AGAINST illegal immigration & Amnesty by joining our E-mail Alerts at https://eepurl.com/cktGTn

I left the spin part out. He's calling illegal aliens immigrants is the part of that phrase that kicked me. Illegal aliens are not immigrants don't blur the line. Immigrants are welcome, illegal aliens are not.
You know what, it really doesn't matter what Geri said because we are the ones with the victory. Cherokee County can say good bye to their illegal aliens. Isn't that a sweet victory?

Some 7.6 percent of Cherokee's residents are Hispanic or Latino, according to 2004 U.S. Census data. But Commissioner Derek Good said the number of illegals is much higher and contended that 22 percent of the inmates in the county jail came to the country illegally.`The county will have to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to defend it,'' said Jerry Gonzalez, the group's director.Join our efforts to Secure America's Borders and End Illegal Immigration by Joining ALIPAC's E-Mail Alerts network (CLICK HERE)
