Commissioners to Discuss Study on Illegal Immigrants
Cobb Commissioners are thinking about ways to keep tax dollars out of the hands of illegal immigrants.
After a 3-2 vote last month against the IMAGE Certification Program, the Cobb Board of Commissioners is considering ways to stop county funds from going to illegal immigrants.
Discussion led by District 1 Commissioner Helen Goreham on forming a committee to study illegal immigrants is expected to be on the agenda for the next board meeting.
County Chairman Tim Lee told The Marietta Daily Journal that Goreham's proposal is "in response to the proposed IMAGE code amendment" to make sure the county is doing the right thing and being "effective and efficient" when it comes to this matter.
Last month, the board voted 3-2 to reject the IMAGE Certification Program, a proposed code change that supporters say would ensure jobs paid for with taxpayer dollars go to legal U.S. citizens.
District 2 Commissioner Bob Ott and District 3 Commissioner JoAnn Birrell co-sponsored the Cobb IMAGE ordinance, and said that "the county can afford neither the time nor embarrassment suffered when the media discovered that illegal aliens working in 2009 were back on the same county job in 2010."
Under the proposal, contractors who do business with Cobb County would be required to apply for certification through the ICE (U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement) Mutual Agreement between Government and Employers program, commonly referred to as IMAGE.
It's all part of an effort to ensure that employers comply with federal immigration and employment guidelines.

Every illegal alien who comes in contact with law enforcement in any way should have to await their day in immigration court in their own country. Every day an illegal is allowed to work is another day that taxpayers are forced to support a law abiding family.

I am a survivor of an attack and attempted rape by an illegal alien from Mexico. I was attacked on April 20,2010, by Frederico Reyes, 30 , illegal Mexican.. He worked at the China Palace Restraunt in Summerville,SC. I want changes for women.
My story went National several times and is all over the web.

I was told he was deported December 7,2012, after serving 2 years and 7 months of a 5 year term.
I still have to live with fear every day because his brothers put out threats against me. I have been devastated over it.

The China Palace Restraunts here are not complying with laws. They own trailers that the illegals who work for him live in.
The one the illegal who attacked me, was fined, but still open. They had to close because no one would eat there after my story hit the news.
What is your goal in this study?
I googlied women raped and murdered by illegal aliens....its rampant across America.
