ACTION NEEDED!

This is a 2 minute action for HB 59

This is urgent and in addition to the calls and emails we need for HB 87!

ACTION NEEDED!

We may have a new problem: HB 59, a simple bill that makes it clear that the 2006 Georgia Security and Immigration Compliance Act – and federal law – intended to keep illegal aliens out of Georgia’s public funded university system has stalled in the House. The bill went through its House committee nearly a month ago. It should have come out of House Rules committee already. It hasn’t. The Speaker controls what does come out. We think it is a matter of timing, but cannot take a chance.

NOTE: All bills MUST be passed in either the House or the Senate before day 30 of the session to stay alive. Day 30 will likely be March 16. HB 59 must pass the House by next week. The white wine, “we are better than you mere citizens” set at the Board of Regents – including the Chancellor is working hard to kill HB 59. So is the illegal alien lobby.

HB 59 must be allowed to come out of the Rules Committee and go to the floor for a vote. A huge majority of Georgians make it clear (poll HERE) that we don’t want to educate illegal aliens in our limited university seats.HB 59:

A BILL to be entitled an Act to amend Chapter 36 of Title 50 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to verification of lawful presence within the United States, so as to clarify that postsecondary education is a state and local public benefit; to reserve postsecondary education benefits to citizens and lawfully present and eligible aliens; to require verification of the eligibility for such applicants for such benefits through the federal SAVE program; to provide for related matters; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.

Please call and email the Speakers Capitol office starting today today today (Speaker David Ralston), 404.656.5020 – his assistant’s email address ( Diane Hardin) is HERE

Your message: “Please let HB 59 out of Rules now! I am one of the majority of Georgians who demand that we treat illegals like illegals! Please make it clear to the Speaker that Georgians all over the state are watching. Illegal aliens who are deportable at any time and are not eligible to work in the United States have no place taking university classroom seats from hopeful and trusting real immigrants and American citizen students. We must do everything possible to make Georgia unattractive to illegals!” Be polite and respectful!

8 USC 1621

c) “State or local public benefit” defined
(1) Except as provided in paragraphs (2) and (3), for purposes of this subchapter the term “State or local public benefit” means—
(A) any grant, contract, loan, professional license, or commercial license provided by an agency of a State or local government or by appropriated funds of a State or local government; and
(B) any retirement, welfare, health, disability, public or assisted housing, postsecondary education, food assistance, unemployment benefit, or any other similar benefit for which payments or assistance are provided to an individual, household, or family eligibility unit by an agency of a State or local government or by appropriated funds of a State or local government.

Jerry Gonzalez of GALEO Inc.:

Yes, we should recognize that English is the language of success and we should work to ensure many of the immigrants who come here also learn and apply their English skills. However, there is no need for “English-only” or “English” as an official language of the United States. What we will see in the 2010 Census results once they are all finally released is that the Latino community is a growing and vibrant part of this nation’s future that must be respected. These types of “English-only” provisions are an insult to our culture.

Welcome to the Balkanized nation these anti-enforcement America hating crazies would create if we let them win.

PRO-ENFORCEMENT AMERICANS WIN IN THE GEORGIA HOUSE! WE MADE OUR VOICES HEARD!

THANK YOU ALL SO VERY MUCH FOR YOUR WORK!

VICTORY IN THE GEORGIA HOUSE ON HB 87! BECAUSE ALL OF YOU TOOK THE TIME TO BE INVOLVED IN OUR GOVERNMENT. WE WIN!

WE THE PEOPLE HAVE A HARD BATTLE AHEAD TO GET HB 87 PASSED OUT OF SENATE COMMITTEES AND THEN THE SENATE ITSELF! (The Mexican government is having a cow! I hear angry Jerry Gonzalez was weeping at the Capitol over the idea of enforcement coming to Georgia)

Special thanks to the many who took the time to come to the Georgia Capitol to speak personally to House members last week on the day of the floor vote in the House. We won by a HUGE margin! (VOTE TALLYS HERE) Thanks to those of you who wore the KICK ME, I AM A CITIZEN!strong> stickers. The message was clear and many legislators and even some reporters commented to me on how effective we were in the entire House campaign.

WE MUST NOT SLOW DOWN. YES TO HB 87! KEEP UP THE PRESSURE!

YOU JUST OVERCAME MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN LOBBYING EFFORTS FROM MANY SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS INCLUDING THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE/ACLU COALITION!

ACTION NEEDED TO PASS HB 87 IN THE GEORGIA SENATE!

FIRST: We must kill the incredibly awful SB 40. To do this we need to call and email the Senate Rules Chairman, Senator Don Balfour. Please deliver your own version of the message below with phone calls and then email. Just leave the message with his assistant when you call…then PLEASE send an email as well!! Also a fax if you are able.

NO TO SB 40! It is a joke of a bill and will not protect jobs in Georgia!

State Senator Don Balfour Chairman, Senate Rules committee

don.balfour@senate.ga.gov
Phone: (404) 656-0095
Fax: (404) 656-6581

Your message:

“Please tell Senator Balfour to hold SB 40 in Rules! SB 40 is poorly written, should never have been allowed out of the Senate Judiciary committee and should never be allowed out of the Rules committee. From many, just one example of why this is true: Amazingly, SB 40 exempts all H2 (H2A and H2B) visa workers from its E-Verify requirement. Federal regulations are clear: E-Verify users must run all newly hired employees through the system and will loose their E-Verify authority if they pick and choose which employees to run through the system. Another? Because there is no penalty for violation of the nonsense E-Verify section, SB 40 is a parody of an enforcement bill. PLEASE LET SB 40 die the silent death it so richly deserves. HB 87 is the right bill to attack illegal immigration in Georgia!”

Then, starting today, we begin the hard work with the Senate Judiciary committee on passing HB 87 out INTACT, so it can then go to Senate Rules, then to the Senate floor for a vote.

YES TO HB 87! YES TO ENFORCEMENT! YES TO E-VERIFY!

Starting today (Monday) we need thousands of calls and emails to the Republican members of the Senate Judiciary committee… tomorrow, we begin to contact the of the Republicans in the Georgia Senate. FORGET ABOUT THE DEMS! They will not vote to save jobs for Georgians – they will try to kill HB 87 hoping another federal amnesty will eventually make the illegals into Democrat voters. (It would)

ACTION NEEDED! PLEASE CALL AND EMAIL EACH OF THE BELOW OFFICES OF MEMBERS OF THE SENATE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE TODAY AND TOMORROW! THIS IS VITAL! PLEASE ALSO SEND A FAX IF YOU ARE ABLE!

“ Please tell the Senator to spare no time in getting HB 87 out of the Judiciary committee without any amendments – the bill is carefully constructed, well vetted and passed the House by a huge margin. Georgians all over the state are depending on your courage to stand up to the Farm Bureau, the ACLU and the Chamber of Commerce! And the Mexican government! WE NEED TO STOP ILLEGAL HIRING TO STOP ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION. NO CHANGES TO HB 87! The whole state is watching! We are part of a conservative coalition that is creating a voters guide on the illegal immigration issue for 2012 WE ARE WATCHING ALL VOTES. No one is above the law and we don’t need illegal aliens to grow onions!”

Please see HERE and HERE for more news and info.

Tomorrow, I will be sending out info on how to contact EVERY GOP member of the Georgia Senate.

PLEASE SAVE THIS INFORMATION. PLEASE PASS IT ON TO YOUR LISTS!

Georgia Rep Matt Ramsey gives it to the arrogant Mexican Consul General:

“I find it incredibly arrogant and audacious that the Mexican government would inject itself into the Georgia Legislature’s debate on this pressing state issue,” Ramsey said in a statement he issued in response Friday evening. “Their time would be better spent identifying ways to reform the extraordinary levels of corruption in Mexican government and society and improve their nation’s deplorable economy.

“The root cause of illegal immigration from Mexico is the failure of the Mexican government to provide its people economic opportunity or even basic public safety such that millions of its citizens are so desperate that they are willing to break the law to enter the United States in search of a better life.

“I also find it deeply hypocritical that the Mexican government, which has such repressive immigration policies of its own, would criticize our effort to enforce America’s comparatively liberal immigration laws, which are the most welcoming to immigrants in the world.”
