Cronic earns praise for enforcing 287(g) law

I applaud Sheriff Cronic for his courage and attention to duty in implementing the 287(g) section of the 1996 amendments to the Immigration and Nationality Act in having some of his deputies trained to expand their existing authority to enforce American immigration law. So should the legal residents of Hall County.

Here’s wishing that in addition to applying the law to illegal aliens, he could also deport the illegal employers who have a better chance of being struck by lightning than being punished for violating some of the same laws.

From years of studying the results in many other jurisdictions that have done what Sheriff Cronic has, and seeing first hand the very quick change in Cobb County where our sheriff began the program in July, here are some predictions:

ID theft crimes will decrease. Illegal aliens will begin to migrate out of Hall County. Employers will whine that they must pay a higher wage and improve working conditions to get legal workers. Parasitic ethnic hustlers who encourage and feed on continued illegal immigration will begin to howl that any enforcement of the law that affects the illegals who are their golden goose is “profiling” and, sooner or later, “racist”.

For his using 287(g), we had a rally on the courthouse steps here to thank our sheriff, Neil Warren, and flooded his office with phone calls of appreciation. I hope that something similar happens in Hall County. Bravo Sheriff Cronic!
