Frequently Asked Questions About The Dustin Inman Society
What is the goal of The Dustin Inman Society?
The goal of The Dustin Inman Society is to educate the public, the media and our Georgia elected officials on the law, the facts and the consequences regarding America’s un-secured borders, and the resulting illegal immigration crisis.
Is The Dustin Inman Society against immigration or "anti-immigrant"?
No, real, legal immigrants join the American family according to our rules, and are welcomed. Many of our supporters are real, legal immigrants. Never allow yourself to become confused on the difference between immigrants and illegal aliens. That confusion is a tool encouraged and used by the illegal alien lobby.
We do not believe that it is "anti-immigrant" to demand that immigration into America - and Georgia - be legal... do you?
We are anti-illegal immigration.
Who organized The Dustin Inman Society?
The Dustin Inman Society was organized and founded with personal funds by D.A. King, at the request and with the blessings of Billy and Kathy Inman, Dustin Inman’s parents. Both Billy and Kathy sit on our board of advisors.
Who is D.A. King?
D.A. King, a former Marine, is a 23-year resident of Marietta, Georgia. He writes a column on illegal immigration in the Marietta Daily Journal and writes periodically in many other Georgia newspapers including the Atlanta Journal Constitution.
He is founder and president of the Dustin Inman Society.
With a focus on Georgia, The Dustin Inman Society is a coalition dedicated to educating the American public and elected officials on the consequences of illegal immigration, our un-secured borders and the breakdown of the rule of law in our republic.
The organization was named in memory of Dustin Inman, a sixteen-year-old boy from Woodstock, Georgia, one of the thousands of Americans who have lost their lives as a result of our intentionally unsecured borders and illegal immigration.
D.A. has been studying our illegal immigration crisis for more than five years and set aside his twenty five year insurance business in 2003 to devote full time to educating people on the facts and consequences of illegal immigration. He is widely regarded as an authority on the issue and has made four trips to the Southwest border in the last two years, the most recent of which being earlier this month as a guide to four Georgia lawmakers.
He has appeared on Anderson Cooper 360 Live, PBS, Fox News, CNN ESPANOL, Lou Dobbs Tonight, CBS EVENING NEWS and in a 2004 CNN Presents one hour documentary on illegal immigration in Georgia.
He was an invited witness and testified on the effects of illegal immigration in the American workplace to the August U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Education and The American Workforce at Congressional Field Hearings here in Georgia in August and was invited to address the Emory University Journalism class this year.
He has been featured in news stories in Business Week magazine, the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, the Atlanta Journal Constitution, the Rocky Mountain News, the Washington Journal, the Christian Science Monitor and other national newspapers.
He has been a guest host on nationwide radio broadcasts and is a frequent guest on numerous radio shows addressing illegal immigration including NPR and CNN.
D.A. lobbies at the county level, at the Georgia Capitol and in Washington D.C. and does public speaking to educate the public.
D.A. works at his own expense. He has spent his savings doing so. He has organized more than a dozen protest rallies against illegal immigration, both in Georgia and Washington, including a rally at the White House in April 2005.
He lobbied in support of the Georgia Security and Immigration Compliance Act [SB 529], signed into law in April.
D.A. and Sue have been married for 24 years. He is not a member of any political party.
Does The Dustin Inman Society have a board of advisors?
Yes. The board of advisors include:
D.A. King (President)
Billy Inman
Kathy Inman
Fred Elbel
Francisco Jorge
Lupe Moreno
Everett Robinson
Is The Dustin Inman Society a for profit company?
No, again, The Dustin Inman Society was formed in memory of Dustin Inman and to present his tragic death as an example of the true cost of our un-secured borders and what some call “cheap labor”. In November, 2006 we received tax exempt status from the Internal Revenue Service (effective July, 2005). Contributions to the Dustin Inman Society are not tax deductible. We will only be able to maintain our efforts with donations from the public.
Do the illegal alien lobbying groups depend on donations from concerned citizens to continue their efforts to further illegal immigration?
No. The corporations and businesses that reap great profits by continuing the supply of what is really taxpayer subsidized labor largely fund alien lobbying groups like MALDEF, LULAC, The National Council of The Race, GALEO and the Coordinating Council of Latino Community Leaders of Atlanta. They receive literally millions of dollars a year in tax-deductible contributions from these corporations. See this example (scroll to page 14) of who finances these groups.
Who in Georgia is most guilty of allowing and assisting illegal immigration into Georgia?
In our opinion, that would be former State Senator Sam Zamarripa (D-36th).
While there are many others, because of his advocating for the continued state acceptance of the Mexican Matricula Consular ID from his elected position under the Gold Dome, his efforts to grant driver’s licenses and the rights of citizens to illegal aliens, his membership on the national board of MALDEF and his being an active, founding partner of United Americas Bank – a bank that is encouraging illegal aliens to remain in Georgia by making mortgage loans to that group, we cannot think of anyone who is more worthy of the term “most guilty”. We give his errand boy and Executive Director of his illegal alien advocacy organization, the Georgia Association of Latino Elected Officials (GALEO), Jerry Gonzalez, an honorable mention here. That all-American luminary, Jane Fonda is a founding friend of GALEO.
Isn’t illegal immigration only a matter for the federal government?
No. Regardless of their oaths of office, many in the federal government, including the President of the United States, have made it clear that they have no intention of securing American borders or enforcing existing immigration or employment laws. The organized crime that is illegal immigration is a national problem, and Georgia is being severely damaged by that crime. According to the U.S. Census, between 2000 and 2005, Georgia suffered the highest rate of increase of illegal aliens in the entire nation, at 114% - with Arizona, a border state being second with 45%. We sadly note that we all live in border states now.
Governor Perdue and the elected officials under the Gold Dome have the ability to pass and enforce laws that will make life in Georgia very difficult for illegal aliens and their criminal employers. The Georgia Security and Immigration Compliance Act (2006), written by state Senator Chip Rogers is a very good start and is the strongest state level legislation in the nation.
Local governments also have the ability to adopt ordinances and policies that will discourage illegal immigration in their communities. We point to Cobb and Cherokee counties as examples. Both have leadership who has shown the courage to use available federal tools provided to them.
Wouldn’t Georgia and the nation fall apart if we were to enforce our immigration and employment laws and stop the influx of “cheap labor”?
No. There is no such thing as “cheap labor” with regard to illegal aliens. Employing illegal labor is only cheap for the employer, who is able to increase his own profit by paying artificially low wages, many times in cash with no deductions or taxes. By passing off the cost of health care and other social services to the taxpayer, the employer gains while the taxpayer loses.
It is a federal felony to employ an illegal alien.
When illegal aliens begin to leave and avoid Georgia, we will have higher wages, lower taxes, better schools, less crowded and more effective medical services and a return to an English speaking state.
For a mental image of what to expect, think of the Georgia of 1985.
If you are too young to have seen the Georgia of 1985…please ask your grandparents or someone who remembers that Georgians can, and have, built and maintained our beloved state for a rather long time.
When will The Dustin Inman Society Website be complete?
We will be adding and updating the Website on an ongoing basis, Please continue to check here for news, opinion and alerts.
Is D.A. King or the Dustin Inman Society associated with VDARE.com?
Neither D.A. King or the Dustin Inman Society has any association with Peter Brimelow or VDARE.com.
On September 6, 2006, D.A. King demanded that Peter Brimelow remove his name from the VDARE Editorial Collective and archive his writings along with other past authors. To date, Brimelow has refused to cease using D.A.’s name for commercial profit and is soliciting donations while doing so.
We hope to soon remedy this situation.
We encourage all who are considering donating to Brimelow to examine his IRS required form 990 to see how the money is spent… WOW!
WOW! on 2004 too!
