Re; Citizen complaint, violation of federal immigration law, Georgia Board of Regents

Special Agent Smith,

Please consider this my official complaint and request for an ICE investigation into well-publicized admissions of numerous violations of multiple federal immigration laws over which your office has enforcement authority.

Recently, members and official spokespersons of the Board of Regents (BOR) of the University System of Georgia have made several public statements regarding the policy set forth to regulate admissions into the public funded universities in Georgia. In doing so, that governing body has made it clear they are aware of the fact that ineligible aliens are not only admitted, but are welcomed into the Georgia university system and are presently attending classes.

Further, the policy set forth by the BOR knowingly awards and allows instate tuition rates to illegal aliens who illegally reside in Georgia, while denying that same tuition rate to U.S. citizens.

It is my contention that the former is a clear violation of 8 USC 1611 as well as 8 USC 1621– “Aliens who are not qualified aliens or nonimmigrants ineligible for Federal (& State and local) public benefits”. The BOR is in fearless and defiant disregard of the fact that both of these laws are designed to protect America’s finite – and shrinking – public benefits from the ravages of the organized crime of illegal immigration.

The number of eligible and eager citizens and lawful aliens who have been denied admission to, or instate tuition rates in, Georgia universities is unknown to me.

I submit that the instate tuition scheme is an easily recognized violation of both the letter, spirit and intent of 8 USC 1623, which, as you know, addresses and limits eligibility for preferential treatment of aliens not lawfully present on basis of residence for higher education benefits.

As a proud but concerned U.S. citizen, I am hereby respectfully requesting an investigation and that any resulting case be forwarded to the United States Attorney for the Northern District of Georgia for prosecution.

I am able and quite willing to provide any further information that may assist your investigators in this matter, including copies of official BOR policy and countless examples of public admission in the media of these actions by members of the BOR and their official spokespersons.

I am quite curious to learn if there are groups of persons for whom American laws officially do not apply and who are somehow immune from investigation and prosecution.

As an aid to your investigators, below I include a list of names of the 18 individuals who make up the Board of Regents of the Georgia University System of Georgia and for whom this complaint is intended, as well as officially listed contact addresses.

Read It Here — Every Detail Of The Arizona Enforcement Law (originally SB 1070)

By Rosemary Jenks, Friday, May 21, 2010, posted on NumbersUSA

(EDITOR’S NOTE: Unlike federal officials who have criticized Arizona’s law, Rosemary Jenks — an attorney and NumbersUSA’s Director of Government Relations — has read it thoroughly and offers here a full description of every thing the law does.)

Purpose of the Law:

To ensure “the cooperative enforcement of federal immigration laws throughout all of Arizona;”
To “make attrition through enforcement the public policy of all state and local government agencies in Arizona;” and
To “discourage and deter the unlawful entry and presence of aliens and economic activity by persons unlawfully present in the United States.”

Paltry crowd hears protests over illegal student
by Kathryn Dobies

May 21, 2010

MARIETTA – A small group of immigrant rights activists gathered before a paltry crowd on the Marietta Square on Thursday to protest Sheriff Neil Warren’s treatment of illegal immigrant Jessica Colotl, claiming he unfairly targeted the KSU student, but gives preferential treatment to his friends and colleagues.

“Why would a big man with a badge go after a 21-year-old college student, who’s a top performer, an asset to this country, an asset to this state? The questions are just too many,” said Rich Pellegrino, director of the Cobb Immigration Alliance, to a crowd of about 20 residents and media members.

Pellegrino and his supporters called for Warren to reply to the allegations of selective law enforcement. They also called for him to drop the charges against Colotl, who did not attend the gathering, and repeal 287(g), an agreement Cobb County has with the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency to check the immigration status of everyone booked into the county jail.

If the sheriff does not respond to the allegations, Pellegrino warned, he and his supporters would possibly seek civil rights charges against him.

“From this point on, the coalition will be watching,” Pellegrino said. “We will watch the sheriff and the other law enforcement officials, the elected officials, to see if they really believe in the rule of law or if it’s just a neat slogan in order to expediently target who they don’t like.”

The sheriff was not available to comment Thursday; however, Chief Deputy Sheriff Lynda Coker said Warren would respond within the next few days.

“Sheriff Warren hasn’t had a chance to review all of the allegations made against the sheriff’s office, and plans to respond as soon as he’s had that opportunity,” Coker said. “In the many years that I have worked with Sheriff Warren I have never observed him being selective in enforcement. He always legally and consistently enforces the law.”

Colotl, 21, was stopped on KSU campus March 29 for a traffic violation and later arrested for driving without a valid license. After Colotl was booked into Cobb Jail, she was turned over to immigration authorities. She was taken to the Etowah County Detention Center in Gadsden, Ala., on April 1, but was released May 5. Immigration and Customs Enforcement authorities agreed to defer any action against her for one year so she could return to her studies at the university.

On May 12, the Cobb Sheriff’s Office obtained a warrant for Colotl on a felony charge of lying to law-enforcement officials, based on a reportedly false address she provided upon her book-in at the Cobb County Jail in March. On May 14, Colotl turned herself into Cobb authorities and was released on a $2,500 bond.

D.A. King, founder of the Dustin Inman Society, an anti-illegal immigrant group, applauded Warren for his work as a law official.

In response to Thursday’s press conference, King said, “It looks to me very much like the Thursday train from cuckooville has arrived in Marietta, Georgia, and the usual suspects have disembarked and are demanding attention with race-bating. The despicable attempt to discredit the brave and dutiful Sheriff Warren in Cobb County is coming from all the right enemies. Neil Warren is an American hero. Here in Cobb County we are very grateful that he has authority to enforce the law.”

Pellegrino, however, said King is an example of Warren selectively enforcing the law.

Pellegrino cited an August 2008 Cobb County Commissioners meeting, in which King displayed two fraudulent Mexican identification cards. King said he had obtained the fake IDs and enlarged them to show how easy it was for illegal immigrants to get them. As obtaining a fake ID is illegal, Pellegrino filed a complaint with the Cobb County Sheriff’s Department. King was investigated, but never charged.

Officials said the IDs, which were blown up to the size of desk calendars, were clearly not intended to be used. However, Pellegrino quoted Georgia Code, which states that intent to use is not a factor in the law. Pellegrino also accused state Rep. Matt Dollar (R-east Cobb) of similar charges regarding a presentation of fake IDs in the Georgia Assembly. Dollar did not return calls for comment from the Journal. King called Pellegrino’s charges against him frivolous.

You Don’t Speak for Me, a Hispanic-American national organization against illegal immigration, reached out to the Journal on Wednesday in response to Colotl’s case.

Mariann Davies, vice-chair and charter member of the 20,000-member group, said it’s unfortunate that Colotl and other students like her don’t take advantage of educational opportunities given to them in their home countries. Davies said all Mexican nationalists are eligible to attend the National Autonomous University of Mexico in Mexico City for free.

“Again, it’s unfortunate what this gal did – she violated the law … You don’t do that,” Davies said. “I see this as a very black and white issue and I don’t understand why anybody would think she’s deserving to stay. Plus she has every opportunity available to her to go to a world-class university in Mexico for free.”

Pellegrino said, “The big picture is about immigration and immigration reform.”

In Washington on Thursday, Mexican President Felipe Calderon spoke to Congress in opposition to the new Arizona immigration law, saying that comprehensive immigration reform is vital to secure the countries’ border.

A spokeswoman for U.S. Sen. Johnny Isakson (R-east Cobb) said Isakson did not have a response to the speech because he was unable to attend due to an ethics

Media Statement from D.A. King and the Dustin Inman Society regarding the latest attacks on Cobb Sheriff Neil Warren from Rich Pellegrino et al.

21 May 2010

Today’s race-baiting attacks on Cobb Sheriff Neil Warren are despicable, but unsurprising.

Not wanting to be rude and use the term “useful idiot”, in Cobb County, it has long been the habit of most people paying attention to refer with a grinning, polite wink to the usually entertaining Rich Pellegrino as our “village thinker.”

Rich’s latest smears and mindless attacks on our much loved and respected Sheriff have likely erased the amusement and last vestiges of goodwill with which genuine Cobb County thinkers regard this desperate character.

While he constantly bleats about being somehow morally superior to the Americans who want secure borders and immigration law enforcement, Rich’s long held anti-enforcement agenda has steadily devolved into rabid race-baiting and frantic associations with such radical separatist groups as GALEO and Louis Farrakhan’s Nation of Islam as well as appearances with American leftist terrorists such as William Ayers .

By being the first sheriff in Georgia to taking advantage of the 1996 287(g) tool, signed into law by former president Bill Clinton, Sheriff Neil Warren has demonstrated his sense of duty, his respect for his oath of office and the courage that the majority of Americans in Cobb County and Georgia admire so much.

It is still America here, thanks to the leadership of Sheriff Neil Warren.

A large part of the reason Warren is respected here is his attention to duty. Rich Pellegrino filed a frivolous complaint against me in August 2008 which was investigated in depth, presented to the Cobb solicitor and dismissed. We support Sheriff Warren because he is an honorable man and when it comes to the law he is charged with enforcing, he is well known for his commitment to its equal application. Look up “Great American”, you will not find a photo of Rich Pellegrino or his attention starved associates, but you may see Neil Warren.

Sheriff Warren is an honorable man, a brilliant example of dutiful public servant and an asset to the well-being of Cobb County.

We note that Rich Pellegrino and his fellow travelers could learn much about honor and integrity from Neil Warren.

We are gleeful and grateful to Rich for so efficiently exposing his true self and educating the general public on what many of us have known for some time.

Cobb Sheriff Enforces Laws Selectively Based on Race, Vulnerability and Political Expediency

May 19, 2010

Marietta-GA. In a statement to the press regarding the justification for his arrest of college student Jessica Colotl, Cobb Sheriff Neil Warren stated “Georgia law establishes legal criteria for every potential offender, from traffic violations through capital felony murder. … I follow the Georgia Code and enforce those statutes. That is my oath of office and duty to the citizens of Cobb County.” The Cobb United for Change Coalition, composed of many and diverse Cobb based organizations and supporting organizations from around the state and country (CIA, NOI, NOHRO, SCLC, NAN, GLAHR, GALEO, SPLC, etc.) begs to differ and stated: “Sheriff Warren only follows the Georgia Code and enforces those statutes when it is politically expedient to do so, as in the case of college student Jessica Colotl, and looks the other way when the offender is one of his supporters or friends, as in the case of anti-immigrant activist D.A. King, State Representative Matt Dollar, and State Senator John Wiles ( documented proof of these allegations will be presented and distributed at the press conference). This is nothing but bullying with a badge, political pandering in the guise of “the rule of law”, an egregious violation of his oath of office, corrupt and unethical behavior of an elected official, and grounds for his removal from office,” states Richard Pellegrino, a spokesperson for the Coalition and Director of the Cobb Immigrant Alliance. “We will call for the Cobb County Commissioners, the Governor, and the U.S, Department of Justice to launch investigations into these actions of Sheriff Warren and his failure to apply the law equally and fairly in Cobb County.”

The Cobb Coalition, according to spokespersons Charles Muhammad, of the Nation of Islam, Rev. Dwight Graves, of the SCLC, and Gerald Rose, of New Order, will be planning and implementing direct actions and events in response to the continued racial profiling of immigrants and minorities in Cobb by the Sheriff and other law enforcement agencies—including a community/town hall forum at or near Kennesaw State University to educate the public regarding the facts surrounding the case of Jessica Colotl and other undocumented students and immigrants residing in Georgia and the abuses of the 287-G agreement the Sheriff is abusing, a solidarity march and rally uniting all of the diverse elements of Cobb County to say enough is enough, a meeting with Cobb Police Chiefs to solicit their cooperation in abandoning the Sheriff’s political pandering and racial profiling under 287-G, and are also considering several civil disobedience actions, if necessary, if this racial profiling and witch hunts are not halted immediately.

“We are going to send this message loud and clear to the Cobb Sheriff and all law enforcement agencies and elected officials—we will not tolerate racial profiling, political prosecutions and witch hunts, unequal applications of the law in Cobb County, which clearly the case of this college student represents, as well as many other cases involving people of color. Nor will we allow Georgia to copy Arizona’s apartheid and police state mentality.”
