Hooray! According to today's Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Cherokee COunty, Georgia just passed a series of ordinances making English the official language, banning landlords from renting to illegal aliens, and checking immigration status of anyone applying for public benefits. Cherokee County joins Escondido, California and Hazelton, Pennsylvania in this effort to restrict government services and other benefits to those who are citizens or are legally entitled to be in this country. Such policies are on the rise nationally as local governments grow tired of the costs and crimes associated with illegal aliens.
Sadly, all three are now being threatened with costly lawsuits by the UnAmerican Civil Liberties Union, (ACLU or UACLU, as you choose.) The ACLU's stated goal is to force these governments to pay so much in legal fees that they drop the ordinances and let the illegals stay and apply for welfare and taxpayer-subsidized housing. However Escondido and Hazleton have now set up defense funds where concerned citizens can send donations to help them fight this fight. I encourage everyone to do as I've done and send them a check, even if only for ten or twenty dollars.
To help, send a check or money order to:
City of Hazleton Legal Defense Fund,
c/o Mayor Lou Barletta, City Hall,
40 N. Church St.,
Hazleton, PA 18201.
and:
Ordinance Defense Fund
City of Escondido
201 North Broadway
Escondido, CA 92025
If and when Cherokee County establishes a defense fund, I'll post that here as well. The ACLU might be able to defeat a few local governments with all of their money but they can't defeat all of us decent citizens.
