Senior Republican state Senator in GOP Georgia on Obama’s exec amnesty: “If President Obama gave them a legal status, we should respect that and let them live in peace”

Another reason we call it “Georgiafornia.”

The below are quotes made to foreign langauge media last year by Republican state Senator Tommie Williams after he successfully led the opposition to an amendment that would have ended the practice of awarding Georgia drivers licenses to illegal aliens who benefit from Obama’s mass deferred action amnesty.

“If President Obama gave them a legal status, we should respect that and let them live in peace.”

“This is a country of laws, and if they gave you permission to be here, it is because they have met the requirements for that.”

Williams is the former President Pro Tem of the Georgia Senate. He is often thanked for his help by the illegal alien lobby here. With 56 total members, the GOP has a 38 member super-majority.

This year’s attempt at stopping driver licenses to illegal aliens is SB 6, from Senator Josh McKoon. It has 12 co-sponsors. And near zero chance of even seeing a hearing. There is no similar legislation in the Republican majority House.

Due to the extremely successful news blackout on all nearly things immigration by the Atlanta Associated Press buearu, the Atlanta Journal Constitution, Georgia Public TV, the local NPR station and most TV news outlets, most Georgians have no idea that the Republican-ruled state is giving illegal drivers licenses and other public benefits (including un-employment benefits) or that there is legislation to stop that lunacy. State Tea Party groups are mostly focused on Common Core, a bill to increase taxes for transportation improvement and “religious freedom” bills.

Republican Governor Nathan Deal, back when he would mention the fact that illegal immigration even existed, has made the public estimate that Georgia taxpayers spend about $2.4 billion annually on that crime. The Tea Party groups are crazed about a possible expenditure of $1.3 billion a year to re-build roads, bridges and improve Atlanta’s legendary horrible traffic problems. Most Tea Party groups are extensions of the local GOP groups.

Pro-enforcement conservatives here have taken to calling our Chamber of Commerce-controlled state “Georgiafornia.” We have more illegal aliens here than Arizona and English is an optional language. Ya’ll.
