Tell them if they are going to continue to stand back while Georgia gives illegal aliens a drivers license, to change it so it doesn’t look like the one you use as ID to vote! Here is our suggestion.

Georgia Senate HERE.

Georgia House HERE .

SCORECARD 2016 GEORGIA GENERAL ASSEMBLY ISSUES

Action needed to change the below little-known issues in GOP Georgia 

*Are you pro-English?
Georgia has a law that says English is our official language, but it is meaningless and toothless. Proof? Our drivers license written test is administered in eleven languages! There will be an effort in the 2016 session to pass a Resolution that would allow all Georgia voters to answer a ballot question on amending the state constitution to make English the constitutional official language of government. We urge you to contact your state legislator to make your opinion clear on this.

*Should illegal aliens get a driver’s license that looks like what you use to vote?
Georgia has been issuing drivers licenses, official state photo ID cards and many public benefits (including unemployment eligibility) to illegal aliens since 2012. To date, about 20,000 illegal aliens who benefit from Obama’s executive action promising not to deport and to reward the illegals with a work permit and a real SSN have been issued a DL and or official Georgia ID.

According to the Obama administration and federal law, illegal aliens given a delay in deportation are still illegal aliens. They do not have legal status. See HERE.

Last session, legislation to end the practice of giving illegal drivers license, SB 6, from Republican Senator Josh McKoon was never allowed even one hearing and an amendment to stop the DL reward was defeated on the floor of the super-majority Republican senate by an unrecorded vote. You cannot go back to any records and see how your senator voted. Of 38 Repubs, only 12 Georgia state senators co-sponsored SB 6. Only 4 supported McKoon’s effort for a recorded vote.

The legislators are far more worried about the Georgia Chamber of Commerce than they are worried about voters.

We have a “Plan B” on a drivers card for illegal aliens HERE that will help to insure they don’t register to vote using the license they are now issued.

*Should the Georgia state senate have and use a rule that allows an unrecorded vote so that it is impossible to see how your own senator voted – on anything?

FYI – the un-recorded vote was also used to get to a final floor vote on the transportation tax hike.

For an easy to understand explanation of how illegals get a drivers license in Georgia, please see HERE. For a first-hand narrative of how the GOP senate defeated the McKoon amendment and insight into the practice of the unrecorded vote, please see HERE.

In the first few days of the 2016 session, State Senator Josh McKoon will introduce a resolution to alter senate rules to discard the unrecorded vote – now known as “rise stand and be counted” and put all floor votes on the tally machine.

Because of the power of the Georgia Chamber of Commerce, the Metro-Atlanta Chamber of Commerce and the Ag industry, the chance of passing SB 6 are very slim.

THE GEORGIA CHAMBER OPPOSES SB 6. The GOP legislators are far more worried about the business lobby than the GOP voting base. Also, they know that most Georgians are unaware of the DL issue and the unrecorded vote practice in the senate. The DL the illegals get looks almost exactly like your DL – SEE HERE.

Maybe they won’t use it to register to vote as in N. Carolina. What will come next? See HERE.

NOTE: There is no bill in the Georgia House to stop giving illegals a DL or official state-issued ID.

*Should illegal aliens get in-state tuition while legal immigrants/citizens pay more?
The move is on to reward the deferred action illegal aliens with instate tuition in taxpayer-funded Georgia universities. This would give them cheaper tuition than legal immigrants and U.S. citizens who live in Chattanooga, Panama City – or any other state. The Democrat-sponsored bill on instate tuition did get a hearing and is still alive in the senate.

*Why will the Republican General Assembly not allow us to vote on amending the state constitution making English the official language of government when we vote for president?

*Why are we giving drivers licenses to illegal aliens in conservative Georgia?

*Why does the state senate have and use a rule allowing unrecorded votes?

*Why are illegal aliens even allowed in our finite-seat university system, at any tuition rate?

*BONUS SHAKE-YOUR-HEAD FACT HERE

*The Dustin Inman Society has been working on immigration enforcement and English preservation in Georgia since 2005 and operates entirely on donations.

Proposed ballot question for November, 2016:

“Shall the Constitution of Georgia be amended so as to provide that English is the official language of the State of Georgia?
“All persons desiring to vote in favor of ratifying the proposed amendment shall vote “Yes.” All persons desiring to vote against ratifying the proposed amendment shall vote “No.”
If such amendment shall be ratified as provided in said Paragraph of the Constitution, it shall become a part of the Constitution of this state.”

Dax Lopez fundraiser: Seems like a lot of very liberal anti-enforcement Democrat hosts and donor-friends for “a Republican”

It appears he understands that his position on the board of directors for the anti-enforcement GALEO for eleven years has apparently killed his chances of being another Obama-appointed activist federal judge.

We are happy-dance proud to have shared the facts on GALEO with our two U.S. Senators, the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee members and the rest of Georgia.

The current drivers license issued to deferred action on deportation illegal aliens looks almost exactly like citizen’s drivers license – maybe they won’t use it to register to vote…

Here is the image of the current drivers license issued to illegal aliens in Georgia.

Deferred action illegal aliens do not have legal status. They are still illegal aliens.

 

From the Obama administration:

What Is DACA
“On June 15, 2012, the Secretary of Homeland Security announced that certain people who came to the United States as children and meet several guidelines may request consideration of deferred action for a period of two years, subject to renewal. They are also eligible for work authorization. Deferred action is a use of prosecutorial discretion to defer removal action against an individual for a certain period of time. Deferred action does not provide lawful status.” (emphasis added)

Georgia Department of Driver’s Services (DDS) Rob Mikell Commissioner (post in progress)

DDS is now saying they have stopped issuing drivers licenses to illegal aliens with the category “C-18” on their EAD (work permit).

QUESTION # 1:
Does this mean that all drivers licenses previously issued to this group of illegals have been voided, or that they have only stopped issuing to the C-18 category moving forward? Put another way: Are previously issued drivers licenses to C-18 still valid? If so, when do they expire?

Also, DDS assures us that they are still issuing drivers license to illegal aliens with deferred action on deportation granted by President Obama’s DACA program. In a direct quote on Insider Advantage Georgia from DDS PIO, Susan Sports, tells us that: “DDS has not changed the policy regarding driver’s license and/or identification card issuance to non-citizens. Those non-citizens in Deferred Action Status are eligible for GA licenses and IDs per the Federal Dream Act (assuming that they meet all other GA licensing criteria).

However, there is a separate group of noncitizens that are not eligible for GA license or ID Card issuance. Non-citizen customers with a category C-18 on their Employment Authorization Document (EAD) (which is the category if an individual is under an order of deportation/order of supervision) are not eligible for GA licenses and/or identification card issuance.”

Question # 2 – Is the DDS Commissioner aware that there is no federal DREAM Act? That legislation failed multiple times over the course of more than a decade in congress.

Question #3:
Please tell us what the SAVE response code is for queries made for public benefits/drivers licenses/ID cards for illegal aliens whose EAD (work permit) bear the category “C-18”.

Question # 4 – second request
Please send my office an image of the official Georgia ID issued to deferred action illegal aliens, front and back – and same for U.S. citizens and aliens with legal status if different from former.

Immigration related issues for the 2016 Georgia General Assembly – smart money is on the Georgia Chamber of Commerce winning out over the Republican voters

D.A. King in the MDJ today – my column on smearing pro-enforcement Americans as “Nazis” – is Barbara Jordan next? ‘Straw man anti-enforcement “Nazi” smear on immigration’

Straw man anti-enforcement “Nazi” smear on immigration; (Is Barbara Jordan next?)

D.A. King
Columnist

“Those who should get in, get in; those who should be kept out, are kept out; and those who should not be here will be required to leave… Deportation is crucial” – 1995 Testimony of the late Barbara Jordan, the Clinton-appointed Chair, U.S. Commission on Immigration Reform.

In Kevin Foley’s recent column (Trump’s final solution: ‘deportation force’ MDJ 11/20/2015) were treated to another amusing example of the liberal practice of inventing a false scenario, projecting it onto a political enemy and then smearing that enemy as if that enemy had created the scenario.

Look up “straw-man argument” to get a clue on this transparent manipulation.

If you missed it, Foley explained that he heard presidential candidate Donald Trump promise to create a “deportation force” for illegal aliens. Foley then went on to write his own script of what Trump’s immigration enforcement action would do. “In picturing Trump’s “deportation force” deployed throughout a sprawling Los Angeles, I envision something that looks an awful lot like the Nazi Schutzstaffel (“Protection Squadron”) or more familiarly, SS, and the Gestapo secret police who rounded up Jews, political opponents, intellectuals, homosexuals and everyone else Hitler deemed “undesirable,” wrote Foley.

We (yawn) get the idea. Anyone who supports deportation of illegal aliens is obviously a Nazi.

Score one for a slight variation on the observation made on weak arguments by Mike Godwin in 1990. ‘Godwin’s law’ asserts that “as an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches – that is, if an online discussion (regardless of topic or scope) goes on long enough, sooner or later someone will compare someone or something to Hitler or Nazism.”

“I see families torn apart
” is a regurgitation of the standard – and poorly constructed – liberal argument against immigration enforcement. Qualified, for now, with a possible exception for illegal aliens convicted of a felony. All this absent even a token nod to someday, maybe, securing American borders or monitoring visa-holder departures.

The reality is that about half of the illegals now here illegally did not come illegally. They came on a temporary visa and refused to leave. As did several of the 9/11 terrorists.

Don’t disregard the dangerous audacity of hope for this loony “only if they are convicted of a felony” deportation idea. It came a week after Islamists bombed Paris and ran on another day that news stories informed us of the capture at the southern border of illegal aliens from countries with known terrorist ties. The FBI has confirmed last week’s apprehension of six military-aged men from Afghanistan and Pakistan. (THIS IS THE MISTAKEN END OF PUBLISHED COLUMN IN THE MDJ TODAY)

None of these victims of borders have been convicted of a felony here and are apparently exempt from deportation under the enlightened “felons only” premise of immigration enforcement.

The truth is that we already have a federal deportation force. It is called “ICE” and part of its mission is to enforce our immigration laws in the interior of the U.S., including apprehension and processing of illegal aliens for deportation.

The crisis that we are now enduring on immigration has been created by successive White House administrations that refuse to allow ICE to do its job for political reasons. Currently, Obama has ordered ICE to implement policies that allow about 80% of the illegals in the nation to escape deportation.

The far left is in a frenzied panic because Donald Trump has permanently embedded the issue of immigration into the 2016 presidential contest and because the depth of the seething anger of middle-class Americans regarding illegal immigration has been bared.

Barbara Jordan’s recommended solutions to congress included the now proven premise that cutting off access to jobs, benefits and services would result in illegal aliens returning to their home nations in desperation. As has been presented in this space for more than a decade, the reasonable and logical solution is a steady attrition of the illegal population through enforcement of the law. Oh, my!

The late Barbara Jordan Source; GovTrack.us

In a nation gone mad in which the illegal aliens are victims and Americans who demand an equal application of the law are portrayed by many as ‘Nazis’, one should assume that the civil rights icon and presidential Medal of Freedom winner Barbara Jordan would come out on the wrong side of the 21st century liberal’s hate campaign against the pro-enforcement majority.

The bi-partisan Jordan Commission also recommended cutting legal immigration to about 550,000, which is half of today’s level. Oh, my!

We wonder exactly when the far-left will begin to smear ‘the Barbara Jordan solution.’

Foley sounds like Obama

November 27, 2015

DEAR EDITOR,

My wife and I read Kevin Foley’s column (Trump’s final solution: ‘deportation force’ MDJ 11/20/2015) about Mr. Trump and illegal aliens last week. My wife read it in her wheelchair where she has been since an “undocumented” put her there when he killed our 16-year-old-son Dustin in 2000.

We are just simple, struggling Americans looking for a better life in Woodstock. We don’t fly to Los Angeles, we don’t know much about the internments during WWII and we don’t think deporting the illegals like every other nation in the world does has anything to do with Nazis, except in the mind of MDJ’s Kevin Foley and other people who care nothing for people like us. We don’t think for a moment that Foley cares that an illegal alien separated our family forever.

We feel like outcasts in our own country when we see the illegals treated as victims. We plan on voting for Mr. Trump and we hope he becomes president and that he is able to put a stop to the illegal immigration that is killing our nation.

The fact that Kevin Foley doesn’t approve of voting for Donald Trump or deporting illegal aliens makes it all the more clear that it is the sane and correct thing for us to do.

Foley sounds like Obama and we don’t think Obama cares about us either.

An empty suit: Kevin Foley of Cobb County, Georgia goes all (yawn) “Nazi!” on immigration enforcement in the Marietta Daily Journal: “Trump’s final solution: ‘deportation force’”

Kevin Foley

 

Flying to Los Angeles a few weeks ago, I thought about Donald Trump’s campaign pledge to round up and deport the estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants living in America.

If you have never traveled to Los Angeles from Atlanta, you approach the airport from the east and begin flying over the L.A. suburbs starting at San Bernardino, which lies about 65 miles from downtown Los Angeles. That gives you some idea of the sheer vastness of greater Los Angeles’ 5,000 square miles.

Looking down at what had to be millions of houses and apartment complexes, I tried to visualize how identifying, processing and deporting the estimated 1 million undocumented immigrants living in metro Los Angeles might look.

As we began our final approach, I concluded such an undertaking is utter fantasy that only the most gullible voter would believe possible.

America has rounded up human beings in the past, starting with slaves brought here against their will from Africa where they were bought and sold like cattle. Later, Native Americans were forced off their ancestral lands and onto reservations. The “Trail of Tears” was but one episode in this long-running tragedy.

During World War II, we rounded up Japanese-Americans, took away their property, and caged them in remote internment camps. German-Americans, meantime, suffered no such injustice.

In the 1950s, America launched “Operation Wetback,” which brutally deported hundreds of thousands of Mexicans.

Nowadays, most right-minded Americans understand race was the common denominator behind these atrocities and are ashamed they happened here.

Yet Donald Trump promises to repeat this disgraceful history if elected president.

“You’re going to have a deportation force,” the Republican presidential candidate told an interviewer, “and you’re going to do it humanely, and you’re going to bring the country — and, frankly, the people, because you have some excellent, wonderful people, some fantastic people that have been here for a long period of time.”

Like most of what Trump sputters, the last half of his statement makes no sense, but the first half is, frankly, chilling.

In picturing Trump’s “deportation force” deployed throughout a sprawling Los Angeles, I envision something that looks an awful lot like the Nazi Schutzstaffel (“Protection Squadron”) or more familiarly, SS, and the Gestapo secret police who rounded up Jews, political opponents, intellectuals, homosexuals and everyone else Hitler deemed “undesirable.”

I see families torn apart as men, women and children are dragged from their homes in the dead of night with only what they can carry. They’re held in concentration camp-like “detention centers” and “processed” by uniformed clerks.

Eventually, armed guards herd them onto buses with bars on the windows and they’re driven to some military airfield where they’re “humanely” loaded by other armed guards into 747s bound for some remote airport south of the border.

All that’s missing, frankly, are the snarling German Shepherds.

Having missed many undocumented immigrants in their first sweep, hundreds of deportation force police go door-to-door telling family, friends and neighbors it’s their “patriotic duty” to turn in “aliens.”

When that doesn’t work, the threats and intimidation follow: “Listen, Senora, if you don’t want to find yourself on the next plane to Oaxaca, you better start talking! Where’s Diego hiding?!”

All that’s missing, frankly, are the black leather coats.

Meantime, Trump’s deportation force accountants are busy calculating the value of the homes, furnishings, cars, bank accounts and other property appropriated from the deported as “criminal forfeitures.”

And this nightmarish scenario plays out in cities across America, from sea to shining sea, including that bastion of freedom, hope and justice, Washington D.C.

The nativists might applaud Trump’s final solution, but those of us who look at undocumented immigrants and see desperate human beings trying to improve the lives of their families are appalled that someone aspiring to be the leader of the free world could suggest something so immoral and, frankly, so insane.

Yes, the undocumented immigrants committed broke our law in entering the country illegally. But our legal system also affords mercy. Let them come forward and pay a substantial fine. Perhaps they also perform a term of public service.

Let them pay federal, state and local taxes instead of accepting wages under the table from dishonest employers. Tell them if they’re convicted of a felony, they’ll face deportation.

Let’s at long last acknowledge the reality they are here and give them the opportunity to be productive guest workers while learning English. Eventually, put them on a path to citizenship after they satisfy their public debt.

You may call that “amnesty.” I call it, frankly, the American way.
