Four men are being held in the Cobb County Jail without bond on charges they had large amounts of methamphetamine. They are also being held on federal immigration violations.

Jose Juan Perez-Diaz and Alier Pineda-Sanchez, both of Mableton; Jose Edgardo Melendez of Sandy Springs; and Gerardo Milian Nagera of Cartersville; have all been arrested on charges of felony trafficking methamphetamine.

The nation's changing demographics will be its destruction. We need only look to Mexico and Africa to see our future.

Too bad these low lives weren't captured at the border. Now we have to pay to keep them in jail while their mamacitas soak the taxpayers for their baby anchors, aka future gangbangers.
