Governor Deal has said he will sign HB 87 into law.

We were successful Thursday in getting this important legislation passed in the General Assembly.

One step remaining: PLEASE CALL GOVERNOR DEAL’S OFFICE RIGHT NOW TO “SAY THANK YOU FOR YOUR CAMPAIGN PROMISE TO SIGN A BILL LIKE HB 87! ALL OF GEORGIA IS WATCHING AND WE HOPE YOU WILL SIGN IT IN YOUR FIRST 100 DAYS! I AM A REAL, VOTING CITIZEN AND NOT A PUPPET OF THE SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS OR AN ILLEGAL ALIEN.” 404 656 1776

THEN, PLEASE CALL MATT RAMSEY’S OFFICE TO SAY ” THANK YOU FOR YOUR COURAGE!” 404.656.7146

The crazies are calling the Governor to beg him to ignore you and to veto the bill we fought for!

THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR HARD WORK!———–

Georgia lawmakers target illegal immigration

Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal said on Friday he would sign into law an Arizona-style immigration bill, a move that would thrust his state into the center of the national debate over securing the country’s borders. — The measure “fulfills his campaign promise to crack down on the high expenses that state and local governments here incur because of illegal immigration,” spokesman Brian Robinson said…

East Valley Tribune — Phoenix — April 17

“We’re 500 inmates below where we were last year.” (Note: L.A. County cut its prison population too — by releasing inmates early.)

SB 1070: A Year Later

Pearce, Brewer stand firm behind immigration law

It provoked demonstrations and boycotts. And some key provisions have been enjoined by federal courts.
But a year after Gov. Jan Brewer signed it into law, you’ll never convince Senate President Russell Pearce that SB 1070 which he crafted is anything but an unqualified success.
“They’re leaving in caravans,” he said of illegal immigrants.
“I’ve talked to a U-Haul dealer,” Pearce continued. “He said business has never been better.” […]
The Obama administration also did not seek to block enforcement of another provision of SB 1070 which makes it a crime to stop a vehicle in traffic to hire a day laborer, or for someone looking for work to get into a stopped vehicle.
And Bolton refused to block Arizona from enforcing some other provisions of SB 1070, including a separate state crime making it illegal to transport or harbor an illegal immigrant and changes in law dealing with impoundment of vehicles that are used to transport those not in the country legally.
All of that, Pearce said, has had an effect.
“Violent crime has dropped three times the national average in Arizona,” he said.
“That’s huge,” Pearce continued. “How many lives does that mean? How many victims does that avoid?”
There’s a financial component to that, too.
Pearce said prison population usually increases by between 70 and 140 a month.
“We’re 500 inmates below where we were last year,” he said. That, said Pearce, saves not only about $30,000 a year per inmates but also avoids prosecution costs.
And Pearce said the decline in illegal immigrant population also has reduced what the state needs to spend in aid to public schools, as families pack up for elsewhere.

LET ME BE CLEAR: WE ARE NOW BEING OPPOSED BY SENATE REPUBLICANS WHO ALLOW UNRECORDED VOTES ON AMENDMENTS THAT GUT HB 87

A gutted version of HB 87 passed the senate last night. This is not the great news we wanted. AP news story HERE

I am off, back down to the Capitol. I have no time to write up what happened in the Georgia Senate last night, other that what I put up late last night. It was very ugly. And sickening.

You now need to call your own state Senator ASAP to tell him to vote YES on the coming House challenge/response to the mess created by the senate on HB 87 last night. I am told the House will not agree to the Senate gutted bill.

When you contact your state Senator, your must also ask these questions:

“How did you vote on the amendments offered to HB 87 last night, and WHY did you not use your privilege under senate rules to demand the Republican Lt. Governor use the machine to record YEAS and NAYS on the amendments?”

“How does a freshman Democrat Senator get an amendment that guts enforcement passed in a Republican controlled senate…in an unrecorded vote?”

Many Republican senators should get used to the term ” primary opposition”. Ask me later which senators didn’t vote at all and were playing solitaire on their IPAD and posting on facebook… but not voting.

More later, PLEASE CALL YOUR STATE SENATOR NOW WITH THESE QUESTIONS. IT WILL HELP US GET A BETTER BILL PASSED

ACTION NEEDED THIS LAST WEEK OF SESSION TO PASS HOUSE VERSION OF HB 87

This is it. Crunch time. Today (April 11) is day 38 of the forty day legislative session. The General Assembly is in session tomorrow and the last day will be Thursday.

The segment of the Republican controlled legislature that opposes enforcement of our immigration laws and is helping the business lobby that hires the illegals while Americans stand in unemployment lines has been successful in stalling until this last week. The bill to save jobs for Georgians will not get any YES votes in the senate from Democrats.

Their hope is that the HOUSE VERSION of HB 87 can be stalled in the Senate a little longer and that we will then accept the excuse that “we just ran out of time.” Note: the version of HB 87 that came out of the Senate Judiciary committee is unacceptable. The Chairman there altered the E-Verify section to create exceptions for most Georgia businesses – including agriculture (more on that after session) . WE MUST PASS THE HOUSE VERSION OF HB 87!

Or… there may be an attempt to pass a watered down bill to make it appear to the unaware that some real, effective enforcement bill has been passed. We must have E-Verify for all industries in the bill to stop illegal hiring because that is the root cause of illegal immigration. WE MUST PASS THE HOUSE VERSION OF HB 87!

There is no excuse for not sending Rep. Matt Ramsey’s bill to the governor’s desk before midnight Thursday. We will not forget what happens this week.

ACTION NEEDED: What we need now, in this last week is for all of Georgia to call, fax and email the Lt. Governor’s office, the President Pro Tem of the senate, Tommie Williams, and your own GOP state senator with a simple message.

“We are watching what happens in the Capitol and there will be no acceptable excuse for any failure to agree and pass the HOUSE VERSION OF REP. RAMSEY’S HB 87…please get the bill to the governor as the majority of us depend on you to protect us…”

Please call and email before lunch and after lunch each day until the bill is acted on. We must make it politically impossible to not pass this important legislation. We must make ourselves more feared than the Chamber of Commerce and the Farm Bureau or we will become Georgiafornia and our children will ask us why we didn’t do something to stop the madness.

Save jobs for Georgians. Please call and email now.

For me, this is the culmination of eight years of hard work. Thank you all for your own work, support and encouragement. Please help us. Pass this on to your family, friends, Tea Party organizers and your clubs and active organizations. Special thanks to the Madison Forum.

See Karen’s letter below, but first, some of those horrid facts…

More than 243,000 employers representing more than 834,000 worksites currently use E-Verify and an average of 1,400 new employers enroll each week.

Please copy and paste the entire column in an email and send it to this character – feel free to call her with any response you may want to share with Karen. Then call your state Senator and make it clear that you are watching and expect a YES vote on the HOUSE version of HB 87.

Subject: URGENT CALL TO ACTION: Tell your Legislator to Vote NO on Immigration Bill

URGENT CALL TO ACTION!

Tell our Legislators to vote ‘NO’ on immigration bills SB-40 & HB-87

Dear GRA Members:

I am writing to you today to strongly encourage you to contact your elected officials to VOTE “NO” on immigration bills SB-40 and HB-87.

· It would cost you $127 per employee to use the federal E-verify system (according to the Georgia Chamber of Commerce)

· No safe-harbor with current E-Verify system

· Would make it a felony to transport your employees to a catering job or even to the emergency room

· No one knows how we are going to pay for the enforcement of these bills

· Our sister states are rejecting this type of proposed legislation

· This is a federal issue, not a state issue. Only Congress can fix a broken immigration system

As many of you might have heard, immigration legislation is expected to come across Governor Deal’s desk. If signed into law, these bills would devastate our state’s economy by potentially costing us millions in tourism, convention and international business. As the state of Arizona has already experienced, we do not want our visitors and businesses to view our state as unwelcome. We pride ourselves on our “southern hospitality” and our ability to give our diners wonderful experiences at our restaurants.

We all know times are tough and the economy still has not fully recovered. In the last several months, I have travelled our state and heard everyone’s concerns about the slow economic recovery. Last night, as I left our state Capitol and drove home, I was reminded by the evidence with closed restaurants, businesses and vacant office buildings. As a former restaurant owner, I understand the challenges you are facing. That is why the Georgia Restaurant Association is working hard to make sure that our industry will not be impacted by harmful legislation such as SB-40 and HB-87. But we cannot do it alone.

WE NEED YOUR HELP in telling your legislators that SB-40 and HB-87 would harm our industry! YOUR voice makes all the difference as we are the second largest private employer in Georgia.

Take ACTION NOW: Call, Fax or Email your Elected Official

And here is the attached letter they want sent:
Dear Elected Official:
As you prepare to move into the closing days of this legislative session, we trust that you will navigate the hard issues to keep us strong, safe and on the right economic course. For all of our economic strength, we cannot escape the harsh realities of our nation’s recession which has harmed so many people and businesses in Georgia. Neither can we easily counter the loss of manufacturing and construction jobs in our communities. We believe that our current problem with immigration is very similar and as such, we have come together, as both your constituents and as members of our State Restaurant community, to urge you not to overreach as you attempt to compensate for a failed federal policy.

We want to be very clear that we commend any action that identifies and prosecutes hardened criminals, especially those involved in drugs, trafficking or organized crime. We want the continued enforcement of provision SB 529, as it is the current law that covers access to public services. We also want incentives for large companies to participate in the federal E-verify program and to make improvements in this system. In a recent report, it was estimated that employers (nationally) spent $95 million in 2010 to comply with the E-verify system, concluding that it cost small businesses an average of $127 per new hire to comply. However, we do not support punishing our small businesses, local municipalities and communities for the failure of a federal policy. Simply put, we do not have all of the economic and legal tools required unless we redirect precious resources away from other critical issues and place the economic burden on our local communities.
We believe that the economic consequences of this bill are so potentially severe that it could damage our international and domestic reputation for current and future business. As the state’s second largest private employer after agriculture, restaurants provide Georgians with up to 385,000 jobs that result in $14.1 billion in sales; thereby contributing $962 million in taxes to our state’s income. Arizona has already suffered a loss of up to $217 million in tourism and convention business as a result of their law passage. Our sister states would certainly welcome the opportunity to host our potentially lost convention business should the bill pass. Atlanta competes directly with cities like Charlotte, New Orleans, and Orlando – all in states which have recognized the crippling effect to their recovering economic engines. It is hard to place a price on these consequences, but if we lose even one significant opportunity because of being perceived in the wrong manner, then it is one consequence too many.

The restaurant community is prepared to work with you to solve the immigration issue. Let us lead a trip to Washington to demand action from our federal delegation. Let us put permanent working groups in place to improve E-verify and work with law enforcement to target and rid our state and country of dangerous criminals. Finally, let restaurants be a partner in finding the common solution that keeps our state economically strong and strengthens our reputation as a leader.

Press Release

March 29, 2011

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

From the office of Arizona State Senator Russell Pearce, President of the Senate

Georgia immigration enforcement bill endorsed by the President of the Arizona Senate –

“YES to HB 87, the Georgia Illegal Immigration Reform and Enforcement Act of 2011” says Senator Russell Pearce, author of Arizona’s SB 1070 and the toughest employer sanctions law in the nation.”

Authored by Georgia Representative Matt Ramsey, Georgia legislation poised to reduce illegal alien population, protect jobs for real immigrants and citizens and greatly benefit public safety in Georgia and the nation, not to mention jobs for Americans and lower crime rates.

Today, I the President of the Arizona Senate, Russell Pearce, strongly express my support for pending immigration and employment law enforcement legislation in the state of Georgia and endorsed the Georgia bill, HB 87.

“I have read the very comprehensive bill from Georgia and commend Georgia Representative Matt Ramsey for one of the most well-written, well thought-out pieces of badly needed state enforcement legislation in the nation” said Pearce.

“This bill passed out of the Georgia House by a huge margin with bi-partisan support and is supported by the chairman of that body’s Agriculture Committee. Having seen the positive effects of enforcement here in Arizona, I can assure all concerned that HB 87 will serve to greatly reduce the illegal population in Georgia, save budget dollars and protect jobs for American workers in that great state.” Pearce added.

HB 87 is set for the committee process on this, the last full week of the 2011 Georgia General Assembly session. The new governor of Georgia, former Congressman Nathan Deal pledged to support an SB 1070 style law there during the recent campaign.

“I have no doubt that my good friend Governor Deal is anxious to sign Representative Ramsey’s bill into law and that the Georgia Senate is acting enthusiastically to get the widely supported legislation to his desk as soon as possible. It is easy to understand: enforcement works!

There are great savings to taxpayers here in Arizona from SB 1070, such as over $400 million in K-12. For the first time in state history we have a declining prison population from a historical growth of 70 to 140 inmates per month growth. Arizona’s violent crime rate has dropped over 3 times that of the national average. Media reports indicate 100,000 illegal aliens have left the state since SB 1070 went into effect. Arizona’s state motto of “attrition by enforcement” works. Jobs for Americans, lower crime rates, reduced cost to taxpayers and a respect for the rule of law will be noted in Georgia soon after the law goes into effect.

Georgia led the nation in enforcement with passage of the Georgia Security and Immigration Compliance Act of 2006, authored by Georgia Senator Chip Rogers. This new legislation from Matt Ramsey builds on the original law and I am told Senator Rogers is guiding HB 87 through the Senate. Georgia is in very good hands.”

The below is being sent out to the people on the DIS alert list

This is the last full week of the 2011 General Assembly session.

HB 87 has not yet been heard in the Senate Judiciary committee. It must be heard and voted on, passed out, then sent to Senate Rules committee, voted on, passed, then sent to the Senate floor and passed. (There is a possible plan B, but we want a public recorded vote. There will be news coming out of the early Monday morning House Judiciary (non civil) meeting at the Capitol. For a hint at what to expect, read this)

ACTION NEEDED!

Please call – and then e-mail (fax too, if you can)- these elected officials’ offices twice a day – all week – until HB 87 is passed.

Please pass this on to the other groups who are now getting involved to help us.

Developments have made the most effective and needed message very simple:

“PLEASE PASS THIS MESSAGE ON TO YOUR BOSS: LET THE SENATE VOTE ON HB 87! ALL OF GEORGIA IS WATCHING! YES TO ENFORCEMENT, YES TO THE RULE OF LAW, YES TO PROTECTING LEGAL WORKERS! THE MAJORITY OF GEORGIA GOP VOTERS WANT A SENATE VOTE ON HB 87 – INTACT – THIS WEEK. WE WILL REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENS. NO TO THE CRIME OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION!”

The crazies will be in the Capitol pleading against passage tomorrow, but have big surprise coming. Along with the ACLU , the Chamber of Commerce and Farm Bureau lobbyists will be everywhere in the Capitol this week trying to beat you. For them, it is all about the money. For a complete list of what business lobbies are working with the illegal alien lobby, click HERE and scroll down.

If you don’t make the calls and send the emails, we can lose on HB 87 and lose Georgia to the same people who chanted in a foreign language in front of the Capitol last week.

PLEASE KEEP UP THE POSITIVE PRESSURE!

Bill *****

Dear Bill,

Thank you for taking the time to contact me and share you views on strengthening Georgia’s immigration laws. It is an honor to serve as your Lieutenant Governor, and I always appreciate it when citizens like you contact me on the issues that matter to them most.

I share your frustration with the Federal Government’s inability to secure our nation’s borders. Because of these failures, Georgia, like other states, has to find ways to address the problems brought on by illegal immigration. We must use every reasonable tool at our disposal to minimize the negative impacts of illegal immigration on our state.

Here in Georgia, we have already made great progress with the passage of the Georgia security and Immigration Compliance Act in 2006. I recently joined with Speaker Ralston to create the Special Joint Committee on Immigration Reform and charged them with taking an in-depth look at ways to confront this problem and offer concrete solutions to improve the situation.

As a former State Senator and now as Lt. Governor, I have a proven record of supporting legislation that addresses the illegal immigration crisis and certainly support continuing to look for and implementing stricter controls in Georgia. It is my hope that the legislature will be able to implement these reforms this year and I look forward to insuring we are able to successfully pass this new law.

Again thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts on this matter. As Lieutenant Governor, I remain committed to strengthening Georgia’s immigration laws and look forward to working with you to continue this effort.

Sincerely,

Casey Cagle,

Lt. Governor of Georgia

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!”
