Forsyth County Ga. To Screen Illegals
CUMMING - Forsyth County Sheriff Ted Paxton announced Tuesday that he has applied to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to begin enforcement of immigration statutes.
That means Forsyth County deputies will soon be trained to perform immigration-related duties of suspected illegal aliens who are arrested and brought into the Forsyth County jail.
"The time has come where the Sheriff's Office has got to be more proactive in addressing the issue of crimes being committed in our county by illegal aliens," Sheriff Paxton said. "The Immigration and Nationality Act give us the authority to do just that," he added.
It's long past time for local law enforcement to get involved.
