OPINION – Readers write
Enforcing immigration law is not anti-immigration
In coverage of a public panel discussion on the 287(g) program [2] in Gwinnett County in which I participated, the AJC added that the discredited Southern Poverty Law Center [3] has listed The Dustin Inman Society as an “anti-immigrant hate group.” This ridiculous smear from the far-left SPLC was laughable to immigrants who support our donation-driven effort to see American immigration laws enforced, including immigrants on our board – and my adopted sister.
The AJC didn’t note that the SPLC made this false categorization in the same time frame it began lobbying [4] against legislation aimed at illegal immigration that we support in the Georgia Capitol. What a handy way to oppress political opposition.
The AJC also alluded to my writing against illegal immigration [5] as “past anti-immigrant rhetoric” despite constant reminders that taking a pro-enforcement position on immigration is not “anti-immigrant”.
The AJC should do a much better job on immigration reporting.
