County Administrator Warns of Immigration Crackdown Effect on Local Economy
Tanner said he expects that a countywide crackdown on illegal immigration may draw the ire of some residents, many of whom frequent businesses that employ illegal aliens.
“When we start this … the general public in Beaufort County, the citizens of Beaufort County are going to start calling me, (Beaufort County administrator) Gary Kubic, County Council members and other folks, saying, ‘Hey, y’all need to lighten up a little bit,’” he said. “When you got golf courses that can’t sell a tee time because the grass hasn’t been cut, you can’t get to your dry cleaners anymore or you go to a restaurant that you always loved and sit down and you’ve got to wait an hour and a half or two hours because they got a 50 percent cut in employees, we’ll have citizens calling us and tell us, ‘Y’all need to rethink this.’”
Imagine there’s no tee time
It isn’t hard to do
No one to dry clean clothes for
Or wash your dishes too
Imagine all the people
Losing all their slaves
You may say that I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
And the law breakers will all be gone
Ideas are far more powerful than guns. We don’t allow our enemies to have guns, why should we allow them to have ideas?JosefStalinJosef Stalin
