Maybe it paid off?<\/p>\n<p>Last February Coyne reported on a silly, but simple bill from anti-enforcement Democrats (apologies for the repetition) in the Georgia House that was virtue signaling against use of the term \u201cillegal alien\u201d (also \u201calien\u201d and \u201cillegal\u201d) that we were proud to have<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gacities.com\/Resources\/GMA-Handbooks-Publications\/GMA-Publications\/Immigration-Mandates-on-Municipalities.aspx\"> helped install in multiple state laws<\/a>. Through Coyne, the AJC reported that under the legislation, \u201cillegal alien\u201d would be replaced with the term \u201cunauthorized immigrant\u201d. One problem with the story was that \u201cunauthorized immigrant\u201d was not anywhere in the text of the bill. Apparently Coyne wished it or just made it up. Her yarn left out the changes to the other icky words \u2013 illegal and alien&#8230;.<a href=\"https:\/\/immigrationpoliticsga.com\/amanda-coyne-has-left-the-ajc-building-we-hope-it-was-something-we-said\/\">Here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From IAG: A now former reporter at the liberal Atlanta Journal Constitution newspaper known for multiple, unapologetic accuracy blunders is apparently now a \u201cCommunications Associate\u201d at the Georgia Municipal Association (GMA).
