Newt needs ‘integrity upgrade’ on immigration, by D.A. King, Martietta Daily Journal, January 29, 2012
Last week Newt Gingrich has efficiently — and one can only hope, sufficiently — exposed his true inner character and shameless absence of any sliver of integrity or core values on illegal immigration. GOP primary voters should take careful note before they end up with a choice of amnesty from Barack Obama or amnesty from 40-odd-year Washington insider Newt Gingrich.

House bill would halt illegal immigrants’ admission to Georgia’s public universities, by D.A. King, Marietta Daily Journal, January 18, 2012
Georgia’s House Bill 59, from state Rep. Tom Rice (R-Gwinnett), is essentially a bill that says all public universities and tech schools in Georgia must ask for proof of eligibility from student applicants for admission and verify that aliens who apply are indeed eligible, using legal immigration status.
It should be passed ASAP

Prediction - Media in New Year will continue to ignore fact that enforcement works, by D.A. King, Marietta Daily Journal, December 29, 2011
Consider the ubiquitous campaign-driven “scientific immigration polls” containing questions that perpetuate the straw man argument that since it would be (regrettably) difficult to deport every illegal by sundown tomorrow, the only other option must be to begin another massive legalization. These skewed polls intentionally omit the proven and recognized effective reasonable solution called “attrition through enforcement.”

D.A. King: Gingrich guilty of ‘crackpot immigration trickery’, by D.A. King, Marietta Daily Journal, December 2, 2011
Even if the newly legalized aliens were denied the opportunity to become American citizens as we are told, how long would take the ACLU and La Raza to organize nationwide marches in American streets with millions of “victimized” screamers demanding citizenship — and the vote?

Adios, Newt - Nothing ‘humanitarian’ about Gingrich amnesty proposal, by D.A. King, Marietta Daily Journal, November 24, 2011
For Newt Gingrich, it seems that amnesty is an every-25 year “humanitarian” project.

Fundamental change? American student's freedom of speech lawsuit dismissed in California, by D.A. King, Marietta Daily Journal (blog), November 21, 2011
A note here: Naverrette knows very well that “white” is not the opposite of “Mexican” and that one does not exclude the other. “Mexican” describes a nationality. The terms Latino and Hispanic denote ethnicity, not race. Just ask one some of the proud Hispanic-American members on the board of the Dustin Inman Society.

D.A. King: Enforcement works — even if Mexico doesn’t like it, by D.A. King, Marietta Daily Journal, October 27, 2011
This is the ongoing attrition of the illegal population through self deportation because of fear of enforcement that was fully expected when the laws were drafted.
Mexican President Felipe Calderon is complaining about what he called “irrational” immigration laws in the United States.

A Letter I’d Like to Read About Immigration Reform and Agriculture, by D.A. King, Marietta Daily Journal - blog, October 17, 2011
For a variety of reasons, it will never happen, but below is an outline of a statement I would enjoy seeing made public by the majority of Georgia legislators who had the courage to vote “YEA” on Georgia Rep. Matt Ramsey’s immigration enforcement bill earlier this year. – D.A. King

D.A. King: Open borders high on Perry’s agenda, by D.A. King, Marietta Daily Journal, October 11, 2011
Like former Mexican president Vicente Fox, Perry, the would-be guardian of American security and sovereignty, has proclaimed his support for open borders more than once since becoming governor of Texas.
You read that correctly.

D.A. King: Perry record on immigration abysmal, by D.A. King, Martietta Daily Journal, September 20, 2011
Nobody in what remains of our American Republic wants Barack Obama to be a one-term bad memory more than this long-time American. That said, count this American as firmly — and now actively — opposed to nominating Texas Gov. Rick Perry to serve as his replacement.

D.A. King: Georgia GOP brass silent on Obama's amnesty coup, by D.A. King, Martietta Daily Journal, August 28, 2011
More than a week after Barack Hussein Obama made it clear that some immigrants are more equal than others and that there are groups of people for whom American borders and immigration laws do not apply, the natural assumption for readers would be to expect outraged reaction from Georgia's conservative elected officials in Congress including press releases, informative posts explaining Obama's anti-enforcement move and the assurance of oversight hearing, investigations and strongly worded protests.

When it comes to immigration, the U.S. has no need to apologize, by D.A. King, Martietta Daily Journal, July 20, 2011
The No. 1 country of origin for legal immigrants? Mexico, sending about twice as many (139,120) as No. 2, the People's Republic of China, at 70,863.

Pro-law Americans turning tide on immigration, by D.A. King, Martietta Daily Journal, June 17, 2011
Raise your hand if you think that these same "intellectuals" would be pecking out the same drivel if the hordes of invading illegals were English-speaking, potential conservative voters coming from Manitoba.
It gets worse for the left: A bill recently introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives by Judiciary Chairman Lamar Smith that would make use of E-Verify a national mandate has a real chance of becoming law.
-
Coming weeks will define illegals issue for GOP, by D.A. King, Martietta Daily Journal, April 10, 2011
We should all pay attention to what happens with the best state immigration enforcement bill in the nation. And watch for any effort to dilute, delay or kill the bill that would cause a nearly immediate mass exodus of illegals from the Peach State.
-
Final week's goal should be passage of bill on illegals, by D.A. King, Martietta Daily Journal, March 30, 2011
Last week about 5,000 screaming, chanting, resentful illegal aliens and the remora-like subversives who support them took over Washington Street in front of the Georgia Capitol in Atlanta, Georgia, USA.
Many carried signs that said "UNDOCUMENTED AND UNAFRAID" and "WE WILL NOT LEAVE!" and "NO TO HB 87!" and "LEGALIZATION FOR ALL" and "WE WILL NOT COMPLY!" The Capitol grounds looked and sounded like the televised mass rallies that take place in chaotic Third World nations on the way to revolution.

House immigration bill 87 the right choice for Georgia, by D.A. King, Martietta Daily Journal, March 18, 2011
Senate Bill 40, described as an enforcement measure to address illegal immigration in Georgia, passed the state Senate Monday. If we are lucky, that will be the last we hear of this bill.
As an American who has been studying our illegal immigration crisis for a decade, let me just say that SB 40 was the most poorly written, contradictory, unworkable piece of legislation I have ever seen make its way to the Senate floor. But I have only been going to the Georgia Capitol for eight years.

Battle lines drawn on immigration enforcement bill, by D.A. King, Marietta Daily Journal, February 18, 2011
The battle lines on ending the ongoing de facto state amnesty, real enforcement in Georgia and the outcome of HB 87 have been drawn. On one side is the much of the business community, the Farm Bureau, the ACLU, the state Democratic Party - and the Chamber of Commerce Republicans.
The other side is made up of the Rule of Law Republicans and the majority of the citizens of Georgia.

E-VERIFY enemies and the H2A visa, by D.A. King, Martietta Daily Journal, January 19, 2011
Unless the Chamber of Commerce here in Georgia has already been successful in killing them in the back rooms of the Capitol, there should be one or two bills requiring all employers to use E-Verify introduced here in Georgia.
The business lobby has already teamed up with the radical ethnic-based illegal alien lobby and started bullying legislators who may be willing to protect jobs for law-abiding workers by stopping the hiring of illegal aliens

Gold Dome support needed in solution to illegal immigrant problem: Simple enforcement, by D.A. King, Marietta Daily Journal, December 14, 2010
The real culprits in this mess are the employers who take advantage of the fact that they have a better chance of being struck by lightning than being punished by the Obama administration for illegally hiring taxpayer-subsidized, illegal, replacement labor ... while we struggle to pay unemployment benefits to jobless citizens.
Everyone can see what is happening here.

DREAM vote coming in lame duck Congress, by D.A. King, Marietta Daily Journal, November 23, 2010
Know this: If the DREAM Act were approved, the chances of resentful, newly legalized former illegal aliens and their families who have been raised on vicious identity politics becoming immigration enforcement stalwarts when they gain the ability to vote are slim and none. These are the folks who are even now - as illegals - marching with the ACLU demanding an end to enforcement of our immigration laws.

D.A. King: Immigration should benefit U.S., not just immigrants, by D.A. King, Marietta Daily Journal, October 29, 2010
is worth the trouble to go online and read the KSU conference "schedule of activities" for other headings for oh-so-enlightened presentations. My favorite title is "Mayans, Mexicans, Public Policy, Applied Anthropology and the limits of Highway Safety in the Suburbs." (Alan LeBaron, a KSU professor). I am not making any of this up ... honest.
-
Dream Act amnesty for illegals should be nixed, by D.A. King, Marietta Daily Journal, September 21, 2010
The related trickery, pandering, maneuvering and name calling in the senate are scheduled to start today.
Unsurprisingly, the mainstream media is doing a partial job of telling the American people what the amnesty legislation really entails.

Illegal Immigration - the candidates sound off, by D.A. King, Marietta Daily Journal, August 1, 2010
ON WEDNESDAY I posed six questions on illegal immigration, via a column on the editorial pages of the Marietta Daily Journal, to our three remaining major candidates for governor: Roy Barnes, Nathan Deal and Karen Handel. I promised to include their answers in a follow-up column.
All three read that column, and here are their answers. (Note: All responses came after the preliminary injunction ruling in Arizona.)

D.A. King: Candidate questions, by D.A. King, Marietta Daily Journal, July 27, 2010
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Georgia ranks 50th among the states in most year-over-year job losses and has lost more jobs than any other state except California.
Georgia ranks sixth in the nation for the population of "undocumented workers" and is home to more black-market labor than the state of Arizona. Most Georgians realize that illegal immigration is not a separate issue from "jobs, jobs jobs."

D.A. King: Regents demand workers' data, but not applicants', by D.A. King, Marietta Daily Journal, June 23, 2010
Call it the latest example of immigration law "nullification" - the negation and disregard of the law to further an agenda or policy goal

D.A. King: When it comes to illegals and higher-ed, Board of Regents have dropped the ball, by D.A. King, Marietta Daily Journal, May 20, 2010
Georgia law does not give the Board of Regents a free hand in making its own policy. It says that governing body "shall set forth, or cause to be set forth, policies regarding postsecondary benefits that comply with all federal law including but not limited to public benefits as described in 8 U.S.C. Section 1611, 1621, or 1623."

D.A. King: Speaker, Lt. Gov. not helping Georgia's workers, by D.A. King, Marietta Daily Journal, April 1, 2010
In non-partisan fairness, I devote the remainder of this space to bills introduced by Georgia Democrats intended to protect working Georgians from the ravages of the crime of illegal immigration.

D.A. King: ACCG, GMA lobbying against stronger law on aliens, by D.A. King, Marietta Daily Journal, March 16, 2010
The Association County Commissioners of Georgia and the Georgia Municipal Authority are not exactly well-known, household names to the average Georgian. They should be.
They are two of the largest and most powerful lobbying groups in the Georgia Capitol. And neither of them seems to be on the same side of the illegal immigration/illegal employment fight as the citizen majority.
-
D.A. King: Some observations on the crime of illegal immigration, by D.A. King, Marietta Daily Journal, February 26, 2010
It would be a mistake to gloat about the likely demise of the 2010 "Comprehensive Immigration Reform" scam. Including an "Amnesty Inc." open borders coalition of "conservatives" such as Grover Norquist, the chambers of commerce and leftist radical groups like the National Council of La Raza, many powerful people will never stop the attempt to create the international free flow of labor and the lowest possible wages in America.
-
D.A. King: Enforcing immigration laws can create jobs, by D.A. King, Marietta Daily Journal, January 26, 2010
And here is a suggestion: Protect the American worker by mandating use of the federal E-Verify employment eligibility system for all employers in the state to check newly hired employees for eligibility, using citizenship and immigration status. It's a no-brainer.
-
D.A. King Warning to Obama: Another amnesty not the answer, by D.A. King, Marietta daily Journal, December 16, 2009
"The contrived talking point is that legalizing the current batch of job thieves would result in a "boon to American workers" and somehow "strengthen our economy."
I am not making this up."

Illegals' invasion tears lives apart on this side, too, by D.A. King, Marietta Daily Journal, October 30, 2009
Rosas, a three-year United States Border Patrol agent, was mercilessly gunned down while on patrol on the U.S. - Mexico border near Campo, Calif., in July.
-
Open-borders lobby: Ignore '96 immigration law!, by D.A. King, Marietta Daily Journal, October 9, 2009
From the far-left fringe like the ACLU and the rabid, ethnic-based open-borders lobby, illegal immigration - and the growing constituency it brings - is about increasing political power needed to tear down America, its traditions, common language and our national unity. Not to mention the hated immigration laws

Mickey Mouse a 'racist hater'? Yes, say illegals' allies, by D.A. King, Marietta Daily Journal, September 23, 2009
You ain't seen nothin' yet. Citing a need for '"keeping families together" and even more labor, the open borders, amnesty industry will soon introduce legislation to repeat the "one-time" 1986 legalization and path to citizenship scheme for illegals. Again.

ObamaCare claim disputed by research reports, by D.A. King, Marietta Daily Journal, September 1, 2009
Everything would have been much easier for Barrack Obama if the bill had been passed without public inspection as scheduled.

Americans, make it clear: ObamaCare debate must include illegal immigration issue, by D.A. King, Marietta Daily Journal, August 9, 2009
To a direct question from the panel moderator, "What about health-care coverage for undocumented immigrants?" Agwunobi described Wal-Mart's position: "We believe strongly that everyone should have access to affordable health insurance. Everyone."

Dustin Inman's cause of death? Illegal immigration, by D.A. King, Marietta Daily Journal, June 16, 2009
Billy and Kathy Inman of Woodstock should be in our prayers today. Their only son was killed nine years ago today. An agonizingly sad anniversary they bear with incredible dignity and strength. Cause of death? Illegal immigration.

Open borders: Extremist solution on illegals?, by D.A. King, Marietta Daily Journal, May 11, 2009

Enforce borders instead of service cuts for citizens, by D.A. King, Marietta Daily Journal, February 11, 2009
Just another reason this long-time American is not a member of any political party and why he could not vote for either nominee.

Amnesty advocates active on 9/11 anniversary, by D.A. King, Marietta Daily Journal, September 11, 2008
Led by a tax-exempt organization that receives taxpayer funding, and whose name in English is "the National Council of the Race," the usual suspects for open borders have put up a pro-amnesty attack Web site called "We Can Stop the Hate."

Mexican Matricula Consular ID poses danger to U.S., by D.A. King, Marietta Daily Journal, August 20, 2008
In a stunning example of “follow the money”, it was primarily the U.S. banking industry’s lobby that was successful in overcoming the well-founded objections to recognizing the sham ID.

Ask a fifth-grader: Compliance with law is not optional, by D.A. KIng, Marietta Daily Journal, July 30, 2008
Heads up to all concerned: The law is not written in code or some impossible to translate foreign language. It was written, legislated and passed in English.

Change comes to Cobb: It’s ‘Adios’ to ‘business license’, by D.A. King, Marietta Daily Journal, July 23, 2008
The reader might be thinking right about here that we should not need another law to tell us not to encourage an illegal alien to open a business in our community, that we could just use common sense and not let that happen.
-
Cobb, cities turn blind eye to new law on illegal immigration, by D.A. King, Marietta Daily Journal, June 25, 2008
"On issuing business licenses, Cobb County is in clear violation of the law. As is Marietta and every other city in Cobb"
-
Cobb coalition just another leftist open borders group, by D.A. King, Marietta Daily Journal, May 29, 2008
Let me state the obvious for any reader who may not see what is coming: Media-starved, easily duped, self-appointed "leaders" in our community will soon find themselves howling in support of illegal aliens in the name of "civil rights."

Perdue should sign bills affecting illegal immigration, by D.A. King, Marietta Daily Journal, April 16, 2008
In an amusing bit of irony, officials in the Mexican state of Sonora are publicly complaining about being overwhelmed with demands for housing, services and schools to accommodate repatriated "migrants" who were formally residing in the U.S. illegally.

Official English resolution to be reconsidered, by D.A. King, Marietta Daily Journal, February 29, 2008
While the most verbal and obvious lobbying against HR 413 is coming from the usual suspects - the open borders anti-English crazies in the ethno-centric activist groups who advocate for illegal aliens - according to many state Reps, the most effective non-stop pressure to vote “no” is coming from the business lobby.
