Foley proved facts don’t matter

The Marietta Daily Journal

DEAR EDITOR:

I am a proud member and leader of a local tea party group. I recently read an MDJ guest column written by Kevin Foley (“West plays ‘Red’ card to hide record” ) in which he attacks U.S. Rep. Allen West as a tea partyer and curiously quotes Benjamin Franklin — wildly unrelated to his diatribe and completely out of context (“We must hang together, gentlemen, else we shall most assuredly hang separately”…what?)

More from Foley in the MDJ: “Tea partyers like West are failing because they see modern America in monochrome. The country has changed since the Constitution was written, yet tea partyers long for the days of when a man — and only a white man — could do as he pleased, however he pleased.”

Race-baiting aside, I don’t think Foley realizes that West is a black American. Could somebody at the newspaper please inform him of that? Neither do I think it would matter to Foley once he gets himself going at painting concerned Americans who do not subscribe to his liberal agenda as intolerant racists. This is a timeless example of the arrogant and facts-matter-not liberal attitude.

After attending the event (it fizzled, only about 100 street-screamers showed up) I read and viewed and listened to many press reports ( HERE is one) on the rally organized by Comrades Teodoro Maus and Adelina Nichols over at the Georgia Latino Alliance for Human Rights Inc.

The above communist party presence fact went unreported. As usual, this is not considered news worthy. Ooops, eh?

Imagine the press coverage if the loathsome, toothless and disgusting klanners ever were allowed to unfurl a banner at a pro-enforcement rally at the Georgia Capitol or anywhere else.

Some illegal immigration facts for Georgia’s political campaign season

In the Republican-controlled state Capitol, the Georgia General Assembly that ended March 29 was the first legislative session since 2004 in which no illegal immigration legislation was passed.

This less than a week after the U.S. Department of Homeland Security released an annual report on illegal aliens living in the U.S. and which states contain the most illegals. Georgia officially ranks number six nationwide and suffers more illegal alien fugitives than Arizona.

Georgia unemployment hovers around 9 percent. The conservative estimate is that 7 percent of Georgia’s work force consists of black-market labor. English is an optional language.
At least one dual language Communist Party banner (“We don’t have an immigration problem, we have a capitalism problem”) was openly displayed at the recent May Day organized by the Georgia Latino Alliance for Human Rights rally on the Capitol steps demanding an end to any enforcement of American immigration laws. That fact went unreported by any media outlet. But several Democrat state legislators attended.

In 2010, candidate Nathan Deal repeatedly promised to “do everything possible” to keep illegal aliens out of publicly funded Georgia universities and tech schools. In 2012, Gov. Deal did nothing to fulfill that promise while two such bills expired in the session.

With the business lobby howling about state illegal immigration enforcement that is successfully driving black-market labor out of Georgia, voters should be asking why Deal didn’t mention his signing of the famous House Bill 87 in his January State of the State list of proud first-year accomplishments.

An extremely important piece of legislation, Senate Bill 458, incorporated a ban on illegals in the university system with some badly needed corrections to existing state law regarding the way numerous official agencies administer public benefits and collect officially recognized identification.

The corrections would have made life much easier for literally every legally present Georgia resident and for numerous official agencies, including virtually all of Georgia’s municipalities and counties, the Department of Driver Services and the Secretary of State’s office.

The bill had the votes to easily pass — but because of the silence from the governor’s office and the refusal of House leadership to allow a floor vote on SB 458, it is as dead as Pancho Villa. When asked “why” SB 458 was not called for a floor vote, House legislators continually expressed their amazement and make it clear no one seems to know.

It is even more of a mystery considering Speaker David Ralston was integral in passage of last year’s HB 87 by standing up to the lieutenant governor, who was adamantly opposed to the job saving E-Verify mandate now in state law.

SB 458 also brought forward an urgent public safety, no-brainer issue the now campaigning legislators would do well to remember: The official acceptance of what can only be described as “undocumented foreign passports” as verification of lawful presence in the United States.

Currently, illegal aliens who escape capture at our borders and make it to Georgia simply go to their home nation’s Atlanta consulate and obtain a passport. These issued after-you-arrive-passports do not contain the federally issued documents and stamps proving lawful, inspected entrance through an official border port of entry or the date the alien is supposed to go home.
Lacking these U.S. documents is proof that the bearer is here illegally — the opposite of the intent of the law.

Expect undocumented passports to be an unavoidable issue on which candidates for election — and re-election — would do well to have an educated position.

An amusing note: Considering the ongoing, inflammatory and shameless race-baiting struggle by the illegal alien lobby to stop the use of the legally correct and far-too-accurate term “illegal alien” to describe illegal aliens pro-enforcement Americans are finding it quite difficult to disguise their knowing smiles of vindication at the fact that in April, at the one-hour-twenty-minute Supreme Court hearing on the Obama/Mexico/ACLU suit against Arizona’s 2010 illegal immigration/public safety law, the term “illegal alien” was used 11 times.

Each time by a justice. Seven times from the self-described “wise Latina” Justice Sonia Sotomayor.

I was so busy attending the illegal alien lobby’s tantrum at the Georgia Capitol on May 1st, I forgot to post this. PLEASE see this hyperlink which goes to photos I took at the protest. The Communist Party was indeed there. And as I predicted, the media forgot to report that fact.

Some bothersome facts about illegal immigration

Some illegal immigration facts that may be of interest to curious readers during Georgia’s campaign season:

In the Republican-controlled state Capitol, the Georgia General Assembly that ended March 29 was the first legislative session since 2004 in which no (zero!) illegal immigration legislation was passed. This less than a week after the U.S. Department of Homeland Security released an annual report on illegal aliens living in the U.S. and which states contain the most illegals.

Georgia officially ranks No. 6 nationwide and has more illegals than Arizona. Georgia unemployment hovers around 9 percent. The conservative estimate is that 7 percent of Georgia’s workforce consists of black-market labor. English is an optional language.

One of only two illegal immigration-related bills introduced was HB 59, which would have ended the admission of illegals into the University System of Georgia (USG). Candidate Nathan Deal repeatedly promised to “do everything possible” to keep illegal aliens out of publicly funded Georgia universities and Tech Schools.

Gov. Deal’s office did nothing to encourage passage of the bill. Concerned citizen callers to his office were told the legislation was “unnecessary.” Many Georgians are curious about the fact that Deal didn’t mention his signing of the famous HB 87 in his January State of the State list of proud first-year accomplishments.

The other relevant and extremely important legislation was SB 458, which incorporated the ban on illegals in the University System with some badly need corrections to existing state law regarding the way numerous official agencies administer public benefits and collect officially recognized ID. The corrections would have made life much easier for literally every legally present Georgia resident. Ditto for numerous official agencies, including virtually all of Georgia’s municipalities and counties, the Department of Driver Services and the Secretary of State’s office.

Both of the bills mentioned above had the votes to easily pass — but because of the silence from the Governor’s office and the refusal of House leadership to allow a floor vote on SB 458, they are as dead as Pancho Villa. When asked why SB 458 was not called for a floor vote, House legislators express amazement and make it clear no one seems to know. More than one has told this writer “I don’t know D.A. I am stunned!” It is even more of a mystery considering House Speaker David Ralston was integral in passage of last year’s HB 87 by standing up to the lieutenant governor, who was adamantly opposed to the E-Verify mandate now in state law.

SB 458 brought forward an urgent public safety, no-brainer issue the now campaigning legislators would do well to remember: The official acceptance of what can only be described as “undocumented foreign passports” as verification of lawful presence in the United States. Currently, illegal aliens who escape capture at our borders and make it to Georgia simply go to their home nation’s Atlanta consulate and then obtain a passport. These issued after-you-arrive-passports do not contain the federally issued documents and stamps proving lawful, inspected entrance through an official border port of entry or the date the alien is supposed to go home.

Lacking these U.S. documents is proof that the bearer is here illegally — the opposite of the intent of the law.

Expect undocumented passports to be an unavoidable issue on which candidates for election — and re-election — would do well to have an educated position. (See my MDJ blog for full details on SB 458.)

Speaking of the Georgia Capitol, at 11 this morning the illegal alien lobby has scheduled a massive, angry protest rally with the usual clenched-fist demands: An end to immigration enforcement, amnesty, “justice” and the right to vote yada, yada … Having attended many of these pre-revolution-type events, let me make it clear that the general public will not hear about the always present Socialist Workers Party vendors selling dual language “oppressed workers revolt now” literature or be informed of the history of the imported organizers. The outdoor event is open to the (very brave) public.

Considering the ongoing, inflammatory and shameless race-baiting struggle by the illegal alien lobby to stop the use of the legally correct and far-too-accurate term “illegal alien” to describe illegal aliens, pro-enforcement Americans are finding it quite difficult to disguise their smirks at the fact that in last-week’s 1-hour, 20-minute Supreme Court hearing on the Obama/Mexico/ACLU/La Raza suit against Arizona’s 2010 illegal immigration/public safety law, the term “illegal alien” was used 11 times. And each of those uses was by one of the justices. And using it seven times was the self-described “wise Latina” Justice, Sonia Sotomayor.

Immigration activist’s complaint gets city ordinance repealed

May 01, 2012

ATLANTA — At the behest of a Cobb immigration activist, the city of Atlanta has repealed an ordinance that recognized a particular Mexican ID card for city government transactions.

The city council voted April 16 to repeal the ordinance after a complaint was filed with the newly created state Immigration Enforcement and Review Board. The complaint said the ordinance adopted in 2004 violates a new state law targeting illegal immigration by recognizing a Mexican ID card, known as a matricula consular, for city government transactions.

The complaint filed in February by anti-illegal immigration activist D.A. King, president of the Cobb-based Dustin Inman Society, was the first complaint received by the board, which was also created by the anti-illegal immigration law enacted last year.

The seven-person panel has the power to investigate complaints, conduct hearings, subpoena documents and witnesses, and take disciplinary action. If the board finds a “knowing and willful violation or failure to enforce an eligibility status provision,” a public employee or agency could be removed from the list of qualified local governments, lose state funds, and could be ordered to pay a fine between $1,000 and $5,000.

“I’m happy to hear about the common-sense repealing of the ordinance,” King said Monday.

The matricula consular is an identification card issued by Mexican consulates to Mexican citizens in other countries. The Georgia law says agencies that administer public benefits must require applicants to submit a secure and verifiable form of identification proving eligibility, and it specifically says a matricula consular is not acceptable.

The city has said it did not knowingly and willfully violate the law because the ordinance in question was enacted before last year’s law took effect, and pointed out that it took quick action to remedy the situation once it was made aware of the problem. The city is asking the Immigration Enforcement Review Board to dismiss the complaint now that the ordinance has been repealed.

Board chairman Ben Vinson did not immediately respond to calls and an email seeking comment Monday. He has previously said the complaint process could end with a written response if the person or agency that was the subject of the complaint demonstrates that the complaint is not true or that remedial action has been taken.

Fewer Illegal Immigrants Stopped for Traffic Violations Will Face Deportation

Fewer illegal immigrants stopped by police for minor traffic violations would be held for deportation under changes announced Friday to a federal fingerprinting program, Department of Homeland Security officials said.

The policy change on how federal agents will handle illegal immigrants arrested by state and local police for offenses like driving without a license came in the department’s response to a report by a task force on the federal program.

One of the task force’s central recommendations was that the program, called Secure Communities, should avoid deportations of traffic violators.

The sharply critical task force report, issued last September, argued that such deportations were inconsistent with the department’s stated priorities of removing foreigners with serious criminal records. The increase in deportations of minor offenders under Secure Communities, the task force concluded, was undermining vital ties of trust between local police and immigrant neighborhoods.

In a 19-page response released Friday, Homeland Security officials forcefully reasserted their support for the program, which has been the center of fierce controversy since it began in October 2008. The program has put President Obama at odds with governors in Illinois, Massachusetts and New York, who are his political allies, and eroded support for him in Latino communities. Both Democrats and Republicans acknowledge that Latinos will be crucial voters in the presidential election.

Homeland Security officials also accepted almost all of the task force’s recommendations, acknowledging that poor communications by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the administering agency, had caused major confusion about the program’s goals and how it works.

The Obama administration’s changes came after a hearing at the Supreme Court on Wednesday where government lawyers argued against an Arizona law that would expand the powers of the police to enforce immigration laws. Administration officials say Secure Communities is an example of the aggressive federal enforcement that makes action by state police unnecessary and counterproductive.

In its response on Friday, the department said the program remains “the single best tool” for focusing deportation resources on immigrants who have been convicted of serious crimes, pose a threat to public safety or repeatedly violate immigration law.

Under the program, fingerprints of anyone booked by the police are checked against F.B.I. criminal databases — long a routine procedure — and also against databases of the Department of Homeland Security, which include immigration violations. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, known as ICE, has been rapidly extending the program with the goal of reaching all 3,181 jurisdictions in the country by next year.

Homeland Security officials contended that the new policy on traffic violators could bring a major change in the program’s impact.

As the program spread, more local arrests resulted in immigration holds, and illegal immigrants who did not have criminal convictions found themselves facing deportation because of tickets for speeding, burned-out tail lights or driving without a license.

In all but a handful of states, immigrants here illegally cannot obtain driver’s licenses.

Under the refinement, when illegal immigrants are arrested solely for traffic offenses and do not have a prior criminal record, federal agents will only consider placing a hold — known as a detainer — after they are convicted.

“ICE agrees that enforcement action based solely on a charge for a minor traffic offense is generally not an efficient use of government resources,” the department response says.

Immigrants arrested for drunken driving would not benefit from the new policy, officials said.

In practice, most traffic violators are released well before they are convicted, and now immigrants stopped by traffic police will not remain in custody to be picked up by federal agents.

Detainers are only in effect as long as the immigrant is in local police custody, homeland security officials said.

ICE also reported that it held more than 700 meetings last year with law enforcement agencies and immigrant advocates to explain the program.

In February, ICE created a public advocate to hear concerns of immigrants facing deportation, and has stepped up training for its staff.

The task force chairman, Chuck Wexler, executive director of the Police Executive Research Forum, praised the department’s response.

“It is encouraging in that they are not defensive and they recognize the issues we raised and appear to be committed to dealing with them,” Mr. Wexler said. His group conducts research on crime for police chiefs.

But dissension arose among task force members. Benjamin E. Johnson, executive director of the American Immigration Council, a pro-immigration group in Washington, said that ICE had not actually accepted the task force’s key recommendation, which was that no traffic offenders should be detained under Secure Communities.

Mr. Johnson said ICE would only further confuse local police by issuing immigration holds after traffic convictions.

“In a traffic setting, we were very clear that ICE should just get out of the business of issuing detainers,” Mr. Johnson said.
