Hello D.A. King,

I am a freelance reporter doing a story for Creative Loafing on the immigrant enforcement review board, stemming from your most recent complaint filed with the board against the City of Atlanta. Let me know if you’d be available to discuss this complaint, as well as your previous complaints with the board and your work on HB 87 creating this board.

Thanks so much, and I look forward to speaking with you at your earliest convenience.

Regards,
Regina

Your editors do not have the professional courtesy to return queries about sending in response letters and columns as balance to the anti enforcement goop that shows up in your paper. That was not always the case.
But, I will send you replies to an email interview questions.

I just read Your Better Georgia “journalism” on ” Georgia Racists/Dax Lopez…” The fact that Creative Loafing has dipped so far into the barrel for free lance is not that surprising. You have no honor and you are not a journalist. But I will still reply to email questions.

Hello,

Thanks for agreeing to answer some questions. I’m interested in:

(1) Your work with the IERB. Do you know how many complaints you have filed? What source(s) inform these complaints (e.g. what makes you decide to file an open records request and investigate a certain body)?

(2) What do you hope to accomplish with this most recent complaint against the City of Atlanta?

(3) What have been some of the most important outcomes, in your opinion, from HB 87 in general? From the work of the IERB specifically?

(4) Many folks, myself included (as you have noted), have labeled you and your work as racist. What do you think drives folks to call your work racist/xenophobic? How do you respond to those assertions?

Regards,
Regina

On November 9, 2016 let me first say “VIVA, DONALD TRUMP!”

I don’t work “with” the IERB. Any registered voter Ga citizen can file a valid complaint.

By my count, before the current one, I have filed four complaints with IERB. One against City of Atlanta for violation of 2011 state law against official acceptence of consular IDs such as the Mexican matricula consular. Results HERE. Because real immigrants can and must obtain and carry US ID, the only people who need documents like the matricula consular are illegal aliens. In an effort to point you and CR readers to the difference between immigrants like my adopted sister and illegal aliens, like the man who killed forever sixteen Dustin Inman, try to remember that because they are here lawfully, immigrants do not require a repeat of the “one time” amnesty of 1986 and that real immigrants are already on a path to citizenship.

At one time I had several matricula ID cards used as a way of showing how insecure they are.

I also filed three other complaints taken from public records which showed literally pages of lists of official entities that had ignored or violated state laws aimed at protecting public benefits for eligible applicants and that official employers like cities and counties don’t hire contractors that use black market labor. This would exclude illegal aliens. Complaints can be found HERE. The IERB stalled for about two years, pointedly said the complaints were too voluminous and summarily discarded one complaint section entirely, saying that they lacked resources to handle so many violations. In the end, only DeKalb county was fined $5000, and that was suspended until the county (just one of pages of violators) demonstrated compliance. There is a very inaccurate write up here from one of your fellow anti-enforcement leftists. Imagine if these same cities and counties had ignored the laws that require free health care treatment and K-12 education to illegal aliens..

I file complaints when I have time. With a little effort, I can locate and document many other violations. It became very obvious that Mayor Reed and his lawyers had re-written and ignored the state law on issuing business licenses and other public benefits without the required sworn statement that the applicant is eligible. Giving public benefits to illegals would be a serious crime in Mexico. Here, not so much. We’ll see. There are a high but unknown number of violations in Atlanta over the course of four years. I file complaints because when it comes to monitoring compliance with immigration laws, Atlanta media usually takes a walk on its responsibility to address official defiance of the law the rest of us are held to.

(2) What do you hope to accomplish with this most recent complaint against the City of Atlanta?

The law provides for serious penalties for officials and public departments that are covered by the law. My hope is that the IERB will use all of its power to send a message to the other officials who are allowed to scoff at the law. Best case? Mayor Reed takes a heavy personal fine as the final authority in charge of what are admitted violations.The citizens of Atlanta should not be required to pay any fines out of the city treasure for Reed’s defiance of state law. I have also filed complaints with the Georgia AG. So far, silence from them. Because of the Chamber of Commerce affiliated state government and having more illegals than Arizona, the Peach State is morphing into “Georgiafornia.”

(3) What have been some of the most important outcomes, in your opinion, from HB 87 in general? From the work of the IERB specifically?

The heart of HB 87 was the E-verify expansion. Despite the endless assurances that it would be a thing of the past from a gaggle of liberal reporters in 2011, Georgians are still eating state-grown peaches, onions and berries. The number of illegal aliens has been reduced, which is what happens in other states where E-Verify is mandated. We still have a long way to go, but the joyus election of “Make America Great Again!” Donald Trump as president may help to increase the outward migration of the victims of borders who lower our wages and challenge our rule of law. The IERB was set up by lobbyists from the very people it is supposed to monitor – ACCG/GMA. There is a very narrow avenue for real enforcement or sanctions. But Mayor Kasim Reed and his administrators have managed to fill all of the requirements for punishment. The 2011 law HB 87 was done due to high public outrage, in an effort to make average citizens assume everything had been taken care of in the organized crime of illegal hiring and illegal immigration. It hasn’t.

(4) Many folks, myself included (as you have noted), have labeled you and your work as racist. What do you think drives folks to call your work racist/xenophobic? How do you respond to those assertions?

People like you use “racist” when they have no way to counter the facts of pro-borders conservatives. I normally let the proud Hispanic Americans and African-Americans on my board reply to these idiot questions. You need to know: “illegal” is not a race. Neither is Hispanic.

I see that you personally have labeled many elected officials as “racist,” including sheriffs. In the limited bubble-world of totalitarian progressives, borders, immigration laws and advocates for an equal application of the law are attacked with the liberal goop of racism. Thanks to years of this race-baiting and these baseless attacks, the American people woke up, took a stand and elected Donald trump president. Like most Americans, including Barbara Jordan, we take a pro-enforcement position on borders and immigration and have the courage to say that there is no universal civil right to live in the USA or to ignore American borders or our system of laws. You, your editors and your readers should try to understand that all nations, including Mexico, have borders, refuse drivers licenses and benefits to illegals, deport illegal aliens and protect their own citizens. You should headline your piece “Everybody I don’t like is Hitler” and call it a day. By the way, most U.S. Border Patrol Agents who are right now risking their lives to protect us are Hispanic Americans. How racist and xenophobic, ehh?

Hello D.A. King,

I do have a few follow up questions for you.

From D.A. King

On Nov 14, 2016 at 12:22 PM

(1) You’ve mentioned the board using ‘all of its power,’ both in your previous answers to my questions and in comments you made to the board. I get the sense that you are frustrated the board isn’t doing more. How would you ideally like to see the board operate?

Again, the board was dreamed up by lobbyists and lawyers from ACCG/GMA to ‘police’ their own members. It serves as a firewall. Having watched as various official entities have been caught violating the laws in HB 87 and seeing the “OK, now that D.A. King has brought forward these violations, you guys need to cut that out to avoid sanctions…” response from the board, it is difficult not to be frustrated. The IERB has subpoena power and can require the city of Atlanta to produce records that illustrate the scope of violations I have exposed. I am grateful that they voted to do that on this case. These are the clear violations the AJC and other sanctimonious Atlanta media have ignored. The General Assembly should abolish the IERB and the pubic should demand that violations of laws designed to safegaurd public benefits and sanctuary city laws go directly to the same system of enforcement that lowly citizen’s violations do. It should be noted that the AG’s office can still prosecute these violations, regardless of what the IERB does or does not do. Now, if I could only get a response from that office to my complaints…

You may have noticed at least one board member mention that he didn’t think there was “intent” on the part of the city of Atlanta to “knowingly” violate clearly written laws. This is a warm-up to the declaration that despite the Mayor being a former state legislator , despite having a crew of lawyers and advisors, the city of Atlanta “just didn’t understand” that it was administering public benefits in violation of a law ACCG/GMA fought – and the city and the mayor should not suffer and punishment. It’s the Comey/Hillary/bathroom server response to enforcement. Readers should remember that the next time they get a speeding ticket. Try telling the cop you just didn’t know about traffic laws…

(2) What do you make of the fact that you lobbied/advocated for HB 87 and subsequently are the primary person to use the IERB that law created? Why do you think you’re the primary person filing complaints?

Few other people even know the process. Most Americans have no clue how their government really works. Especially on the state and local level. My educated guess is that more people look forward to root canals than know about the IERB – or state law designed to stop illegal aliens from taking benefits and jobs meant for hard working legal immigrants and Americans.

(3) How do you think “the limited bubble-world of totalitarian progressives,” approaches immigration policy?

Ha! With the goal of open borders through thinking less and race-baiting more, the game is to blur the line between honest and law-abiding immigrants and the illegal aliens who are merely undocumented future Democrat-gimme more voters while smearing anyone, regardless of description, who stands up to say we should enforce our immigration and employment laws as enthusiastically and as unapologetically as does Mexico. Most people don’t know we take in more legal immigration than any nation on the planet. More than a million a year. While screaming for better jobs and higher pay, the mindless left joins the Wall St. Journal anything-for-a- buck right in trying for limitless immigration – open borders – clueless to the natural laws of supply and demand. To help out: More workers means lower wages. I grew up in a blue-collar working class family. It is stunning that people accept the ridiculous dogma that we need more immigration to be “fair” – while wages for working Americans are going down in real dollars.
What is your fear about what would happen if those policies went into effect?

It is easy to argue that in part they are already in effect in Obama’s America. Without a reverse, it’s Adios America – official open borders combined with the welfare state that is 21st century America and the current interpretation of birthright citizenship means we would further our current reputation as the ultimate destination for world-wide migration. Most of us prefer a real country to a teeming tower-of-Babel, lawless, welfare-admin region that will soon look more like a sci-fi movie than a constitutional republic with a rule of law if people don’t start recognizing the obvious. I always enjoy asking which laws the “tolerant progressives” want enforced and which ones they chose to ignore. A brilliant answer is evident in watching the freaked-out leftist media snivel and the loving millennials rioting in American streets screaming that Trump and American police should be murdered because they don’t like the results of the election. In today’s bizarro world, “racists” are people who are winning an argument with liberals. With Trump’s election, mainstream America just won a whopper of an argument. To quote about a gazillion conservatives on Twitter lately: “Liberal tears taste so sweet…”
