“Inger Eberhart, a board member for the pro-enforcement organization the Dustin Inman Society blasted the rally.

Black Clergy: Don’t Deport Illegal Immigrants <\/strong> (VIDEO LINK ON BOTTOM)<\/em>
\nGroup Says Immigrants Of African Decent Targeted, Too<\/strong><\/p>\n

Written By: Rebekka Schramm<\/strong> – CBS Atlanta Reporter<\/p>\n

ATLANTA — Members of the group Concerned Black Clergy rallied<\/a> in front of Atlanta\u2019s Immigration and Customs Enforcement Office Monday. They prayed and sang songs, denouncing America\u2019s treatment of illegal immigrants — and not just the ones from Latin America. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s about those individuals, people of color, friends in Haiti,\u201d said Dr. Richard Cobble, the group\u2019s president. \u201cWe\u2019ve just gone through this thing in Haiti. People coming out of Haiti, they\u2019re sending folks back to Haiti. They\u2019re from South America, from Africa, from all over this world.\u201d <\/p>\n

The group<\/a> is calling on President Barack Obama to fulfill his campaign promise of immigration reform<\/a>. Until then, the group is demanding a moratorium on deportations until the system is fixed. <\/p>\n

\u201cShouldn\u2019t people who came into the country illegally be punished for that?\u201d asked CBS Atlanta\u2019s Rebekka Schramm. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe will be the first to admit that there are a lot of what we call undocumented who are here,\u201d answered Rev. Timothy McDonald of the First Iconium Baptist Church. \u201cBut why not create a path where they can become legal?\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cWe don\u2019t want criminals here,\u201d said state Rep. Tyrone Brooks<\/a>, D-Atlanta. \u201cWe want people who want to be here and be law-abiding citizens.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cWhat about the people, though, who are breaking our laws every day by driving without a license and getting into wrecks and killing people. What about those illegal immigrants?\u201d asked Schramm. <\/p>\n

\u201cI think the state can deal with that. I think we need to make it possible for those persons who are driving to gain a license,\u201d responded Brooks. <\/p>\n

Inger Eberhart<\/a>, a board member for the pro-enforcement organization the Dustin Inman Society blasted the rally. She sent CBS Atlanta the following statement: \u201cThe first people hit by the crime of illegal immigration are some of America’s poorest, including African-Americans and many native-born Hispanics. In these desperate times of soaring unemployment and scarce resources, this vigil against enforcement of our immigration laws is a shameless and mindless affront to hard working Americans of all descriptions.” <\/p>\n

An ICE spokeswoman sent CBS Atlanta this statement: \u201cWe recognize that our nation’s immigration challenges require serious solutions and are fully supportive of needed comprehensive immigration reform efforts. Until such reform is enacted by Congress, ICE will remain focused on smart, effective immigration enforcement, not sweeps or raids that target undocumented immigrants indiscriminately.\u201d\n <\/p><\/blockquote>\n
