Cobb group hosts public forum on immigration law

Cobb Immigrant Alliance will hold a town hall meeting May 31 on Georgia’s new immigration law, HB 87.

Immigrant experts will discuss how community development, employment and civil rights are impacted by the law.

Alliance director, Rich Pellegrino, called HB 87 an unfunded mandate and diversionary tactic that does not solve immigration problems or the community’s real issues of jobs and the economy.

The forum begins at 6 p.m. at the South Cobb Regional Library, 805 Clay Road in Mableton.
