Commissioner Stan Deatherage
The Strong Voice for the Taxpayer
Dear Fellow Republican,
Illegal immigration and the problems it brings is a challenge to government at
all levels - federal, state, and local.
It is an issue that also must be dealt with at all levels. We have seen some innovative ways that some
states like Florida and Texas are fighting back, as well as some local governments like the city of El Paso.
Here in Beaufort County, illegal immigration is a
big drain on our tax money for things like education, welfare, and health care. The influx of illegal aliens from policies like Biden's open borders
costs county /state taxpayers in excess of $12,000,000.00 each year in Beaufort County.
Illegal immigration also creates a
crime threat. Biden's DHS has recently confirmed that Venezuela is emptying its prisons and sending their criminals to our southern border. The extremely violent Salvadorian crime gang
MS-13 is also sending its thugs into our country as
"unaccompanied minors."
As your commissioner, I have taken the position that it is time to
fight back. Our county commission
has adopted a resolution I proposed to demand our federal government fulfill its responsibility to secure our borders. To obtain more data to deal with the federal government, I also proposed that the county compile all costs imposed on our taxpayers by illegal immigration.
One would think that all of our commissioners would stand up for our citizens and taxpayers against illegal immigration, but unfortunately that is not the case. Two of my opponents this year, Ed Booth and Frankie Waters, opposed both resolutions on this issue. Waters and Booth seem to have no problem with illegal immigration into this country. We need to
do a lot more but they will not even do that much.
Beaufort County citizens are concerned about illegal immigration and its cost to our community. With over 600 voting, the poll on Beaufort County Now shows
over 98% of residents concerned about the financial burden of illegal aliens on our county. The poll is still open for voting if you want
to add your opinion .
I humbly ask for your support and your vote in the November election for re-election as your county commissioner,
so I can keep fighting for our taxpayers against illegal immigration.
Please visit my website at

Sincerely,
