D.A. King of Marietta is an anti-illegal immigration activist. He is president of the Dustin Inman Society,<\/a> named for the Georgia teenager killed in 2000 when an illegal immigrant crashed into the Inman family\u2019s car while it was stopped at a red light.<\/p>\n

In this piece, King addresses the president of Agnes Scott and her support of students on her campus whose parents are undocumented immigrants. President Elizabeth Kiss\u2019 column ran earlier this week on the Get Schooled blog. His point on students attending U.S. colleges under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals or DACA: \u201cThey are not merely children of illegals \u2013 they are illegals. If not, they wouldn\u2019t need deferred action on deportation.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

By D.A. King<\/p>\n

In her plea<\/a> to continue to educate the illegal aliens to whom President Obama has illegally granted executive amnesty, Agnes Scott College President Elizabeth Kiss\u2019 compassion is duly noted. We get it. She is an educated, caring and enlightened American whose family escaped the horror of the Nazis and totalitarian Communist oppression. And the students in question just want to be Americans.<\/p>\n

We respectfully note that such a column by a college president would not be needed in Mexican newspapers as illegal aliens are not considered victims or given special privileges in that nation.<\/p>\n

It is time for the left to invent a different \u201canything but-illegal\u201d label \u2013 it is too much of a stretch to call the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals illegals \u201cundocumented\u201d when they have been rewarded with a Social Security number, a work permit bearing fingerprints and a driver\u2019s license.<\/p>\n

For curious readers, yes, illegal aliens in Georgia are being issued the same driver\u2019s licenses issued to foreign diplomats and Mercedes-Benz executives. It does not note their still-illegal status, and they can use it to board airliners.<\/p>\n

Many of us who speak out for an equal application of American law \u2013 even on immigration \u2013 share Kiss\u2019 concern for some of these young people. But we take a dim view of holding them up as a negative example of the consequences of America\u2019s borders and already liberal immigration laws.<\/p>\n

Pandering politicians and the parental abuse perpetrated by foreign parents who recognized they could make more money if they lived in the United States caused this crisis of \u201cto enforce the law or not enforce the law\u201d \u2013 the American dream of Americans to preserve and protect a constitutional republic be damned.<\/p>\n

Many of the seven billion people in the world would jump at the chance to make it over our borders illegally \u2013 or overstay a temporary visa \u2013 to set up a permanent home for their families here.<\/p>\n

That reflection of human nature is being proven even now as a record annual number \u2013 more than in 2014 \u2013 of \u201cchildren\u201d and \u201cfamily units\u201d happily crossing our southern border illegally and rushing to report to the nearest demoralized Border Patrol Agent to take advantage of Obama\u2019s \u201csend them on\u201d policy.<\/p>\n

Given the lack of \u201cmainstream media\u201d coverage of this intentional and politically driven debacle, I triple-dog dare the AJC PolitiFact editors to challenge that statement.<\/p>\n

There can be no permanent solution to the illegal status of these DACA-covered illegal aliens or any other part of our immigration crisis unless and until there is lawful action by the Executive Branch and Congress to make it clear to the world the United States can and will forever secure our borders, track visa departures and enforce all of our immigration laws \u2013 even if illegal aliens have children.<\/p>\n

If we can find a Congress with the courage to pass genuinely \u201cone-time,\u201d narrow and honest legislation that can help allow some of the \u201cDreamers\u201d who are in school now to have their illegal status removed, it should be done. They should never be granted American citizenship.<\/p>\n

The concept that Obama\u2019s 2012 re-election ploy and his illegal executive decree that is DACA should directly result in U.S. citizenship and voting rights for anyone is a non-starter for most fed-up Americans.<\/p>\n

The rule of law and its equal application is what is supposed to set us apart from the people President Kiss\u2019 family escaped. HERE<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
