Cobb County Deputy dies in car wreck this morning. Illegal aliens arrested after fleeing scene
Today another American – again a cop – has lost his life because the President refuses to secure our borders.
Our sincere sympathy to the family of Cobb County, Georgia Deputy Loren Lilly who died early this morning on his way to work because people with no right to be in the U.S. can easily drive a car here. We will check later to see how the owner of the car got his tags. [ Licenses plates no non-Southerners]

A Cobb County sheriff’s deputy was killed in a hit-and-run wreck while driving to work early Sunday morning.
Police later arrested two men, charging one with felony vehicular homicide and the other with falsely telling police that the car they were in had been stolen.
Deputy Loren Lilly, 41, was headed south on Powder Springs Road near Baltimore Place about 5:40 a.m. when his green Honda Civic collided with another car that had veered from its lane, Marietta police said.
Lilly’s car overturned several times, and he was killed at the scene, said Officer Casey Camp.
The two men in the second car, a white Ford Taurus, ran away before police arrived.
Both men were later arrested.
Along with a vehicular homicide charge, the driver, Joel Camacho Perea, 27, of Marietta faces charges of hit and run, failure to maintain lane and driving without a license.
The passenger, Maurilio Herrera, 23, was charged with a misdemeanor count of falsely reporting a crime to police, Camp said.
Lilly, of Marietta, had worked for the sheriff’s department since 1989 and was assigned to the jail division.
Cobb Sheriff Neil Warren said in a news release that it was a “tragic accident,” and he described Lilly as a “fine deputy.”
Camp said that the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency has placed a hold on the two men, who were being held Sunday night at Cobb County Jail.
When will we have enough illegal aliens here? Will a path to citizenship stop the killing?
