Georgia’s “use it or lose it” voter roll law? The Democrats did it

Here is a ‘take-away’ on the liberal media’s incompleteĀ coverage of Georgia Governor’s race: The Dems did the “use it or lose it” law and former Secretary of State Brian Kemp is only ‘guilty’ of following that law.

It was the 1997 Georgia Democrats who introduced, sponsored and passed the now infamous and partially reported ā€œuse it or lose itā€ voter ā€˜purgeā€™ law that the liberal media, loser Stacey Abrams and the 2018 Democrats are using to vilify Governor-Elect Brian Kemp. The exception on sponsors was Republican Robert Irvin.

It was Democrat Governor Zell Miller who signed the legislation, HB 889, into law.

It was introduced by Chatham County Democrat Rep Sonny Dixon and was cosponsored by Reps (the late) William Lee (D), Larry Walker (D), Jimmy Skipper (D), Robert Irvin (R), and Greg K. Hecht (D).

Sonny Dixon won a Best Anchor Emmy Award for his work in broadcasting in Savannah and has a major road intersection named in his honor.

Attorney and writer Larry Walker has served on the Board of Regents and on the stateā€™s Georgia Department of Transportation Board.

Greg Hecht went on to the state senate and was the Democratā€™s 2014 candidate for Attorney General.

Brian Kemp wasnā€™t in the Georgia legislature in 1997 when the Dems passed the bill they hate so vocally now that Comrade Abrams has finally admitted defeat.

We havenā€™t seen this in any liberal media outlets ā€“ but will do a complete search for a credible and compelling Georgia news article that we may have missed. But, maybe they are hiding it.

Federal law, 8 USC 1182: Who can the President stop from entering the USA? Pretty much any alien he finds is “detrimental to the interests of the United States.”

14 (F) “Whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would beĀ , he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate.”

See for yourself. It isn’t as confusing as the media wants it to be. Read it and pass it on. Maybe to an AJC or WSB Ā reporter.

8 U.S. Code Ā§ 1182 – Inadmissible aliens

HERE

(a)Classes of aliens ineligible for visas or admissionExcept as otherwise provided in this chapter, aliens who are inadmissible under the following paragraphs are ineligible to receive visas and ineligible to be admitted to the United States:

SCROLL WAY DOWN TO :

(14)

The Secretary of Homeland Security shall determine whether a ground of inadmissibility exists with respect to a nonimmigrant described in section 1101(a)(15)(U) of this title. The Secretary of Homeland Security, in the Attorney Generalā€™sā€Æ6 discretion, may waive the application of subsection (a) (other than paragraph (3)(E)) in the case of a nonimmigrant described in section 1101(a)(15)(U) of this title, if the Secretary of Homeland Security considers it to be in the public or national interest to do so.

–> (f)Ā Suspension of entry or imposition of restrictions by President

Whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate. Whenever the Attorney General finds that a commercial airline has failed to comply with regulations of the Attorney General relating to requirements of airlines for the detection of fraudulent documents used by passengers traveling to the United States (including the training of personnel in such detection), the Attorney General may suspend the entry of some or all aliens transported to the United States by such airline.

I’m sure they are the nicest of folks, but I never heard of these people until yesterday, when they sent me a text out of nowhere.

The second listed text below (bottom) came to my mobile phone last night. I have no idea how they got my phone number or who ‘Daisy” is. After I Googled ‘ColorOfChange‘ this morning and signed up to join with an email address, I received the top text.

 

*Added 3:00PM: My landline has been ringing all day – three times this message is left on the voicemail:

Voicemail from (866) 687-8683

“Hello I’m Congressman John Lewis Georgia. You still have the chance to make history. Did you anyone you know receive a provisional(?) paper ballot on Tuesday to make your vote count go to your County election office right now. Bring your ID and your ballot receipt. If you have any trouble call 8665 vote on www.go vote Georgia. Don’t wait make your vote count. Paid for by Karen …”

Added 5:58 PM – Now, in the AJC, Ā I see that Spellman College is passing on the same message as Lewis, here.

Response to the editorial board at the Savannah Morning News

A response to the editorial board of the Savannah Morning News. Editor told me to send it, but did not run it.

The next governor should enforce state laws aimed at illegal immigration

Ā D.A. King

Ā The boardā€™s recent forayĀ into the politics of immigration enforcement and which gubernatorial candidate would be most careful on the issue seemed to take an overly moderate path of moderation. It hit most of the well-heeled anti-enforcement lobbyā€™s talking points on the dangers of the rule of law to the quarterly profit reports of Georgiaā€™s industry, including the oft-used ā€˜immigration enforcement is a federal issue.ā€™ Itā€™s not.

That we are told we should not have an excessive amount of enforcement on immigration as it may have negative effects on ā€œchildren and familiesā€ is curious advice.

We canā€™t help but wonder at the boardā€™s position on enforcement of ID theft and Social Security fraud laws ā€“ which are both felonious components of illegal immigration. Should we only punish Americans for these crimes so as to not inconvenience families of illegal aliens?

The crime of illegal employment is primary driver of the crime of illegal immigration. Easily as important as securing our national borders, insuring that ā€œcheapā€, taxpayer-subsidized, black market labor is not allowed to take Georgianā€™s jobs and lower our wages should be high on the list of priorities for everyone concerned. Including editorial boards.

Against the powerful opposition of the business lobby, state lawmakers have twice (2006 and 2011) mandated use of the no-cost federal E-Verify system to head off illegal employment. Unsurprisingly, those laws are treated as optional when it comes to enforcement.

A recent investigative report from Bloomberg BusinessweekĀ shows that in the twelve years of the stateā€™s E-Verify statuteā€™s existence, the grand total of prosecutions for violation by employers isā€¦zero. This seems to represent the amount of concern or investigation by the stateā€™s media on the subject – but we do hear the constant approval that ā€œGeorgia is number one for business.ā€

Using data from the Migration Policy Institute, the left-leaning Georgia Budget and Policy Institute acknowledges in a pie chartĀ that Georgia is home to more illegal aliens than Lawful Permanent Residents (green card holders). The feds estimate that we have more illegals than Arizona. We issue drivers licenses and official ID Cards to aliens who are alreadyĀ under deportation orders. It is easy to refer to our beloved but increasingly bewildering state as ā€œGeorgiafornia.ā€

The boardā€™s advice to readers that we ā€œwalk a tightropeā€ on regulations and warnings that we not make waves lest we effect businessā€™s profits is not the common sense it is depicted to be.

The next governor should enforce the laws already passed under the Gold Dome on illegal immigration.
