287(g) – Pros and Cons

A forum was held in Lawrenceville Tuesday night to talk about Gwinnett’s implementation of a federal program aimed at illegal immigrants. The program, called 2879g) allows state and local enforcement to investigate, detail and arrest illegal immigrants on civil and criminal grounds.

Naturally, some support it; some are against it.

But one quote in AJC reporter Pat Fox’s story, which appeared today, hit home: “These are honest people,” said Richard Munoz of Norcross. “They are hardworking people.”

Unfortunately, they are also in the country illegally, a detail that can’t be overlooked, don’t you think?

Here is the 3rd illegal immigrant child molestor from Norcross arrested this week.

Are they molesting the children Americans are too lazy to molest?

Oh wait, according to the local idiot community it just shows that the American legal system is racist. Can’t hold anybody but White people accountable these days.

GT75, I recognize and duly make note of the fact that you couldn’t come here to discuss the topic, but only verbally rally against those whose opinion you don’t agree with. It is what it is…

We are seeing children withdrawn from school because their families are moving away. Some of these children have told us that they are going back to Mexico. I am still waiting to see what happens. I want the goat roasting to stop in my neighborhood.

Cindy, since we don’t have all of these problems in our community that you claim to have in yours, you are most likely pumping out talking points from someone like John Tanton or D.A. King. The Latinos in our neighborhood are great people, great neighbors, and I’ll take them over whining rednecks like you any day. They are a much better class of people than you are and a lot more interesting.
