City Captures 22 Illegal Aliens

Posted by Greg Hambrick on Fri, Feb 8, 2008 at 11:57 PM

The City of Charleston reported a raid on a West Ashley bar and the capture of 22 illegal aliens.

The joint investigation began several months ago after law enforcement officials received complaints about possible narcotics, prostitution and gang activity occurring at El Arcoiris Club at 1970 Ashley River Road.

Although no municipal or state arrests were made, the manager, co-manager, a disc jockey and other employees of the business were taken into custody by immigrant officials. The illegal aliens were deported back to Mexico today.

Get ahold of your State Reps ASAP and demand that they pass S392 as written. The Chamber of Commerce has threatened to sue if this bill passes. That can only mean one thing, it's a good bill drafted after the bill passed in Arizona that has been upheld by the Federal Courts on 3 seperate occasions now. Let your State Rep know that the Chamber of Commerce will not be re-electing them if they fail to pass this important piece of legislation fighting Illegal Immigration on our State.

Send out the 8 million No-Match letters; let the mass exodus begin. Cut ALL benefits to illegals.
