House Higher Education Chairman Chuck Martin (R- Alpharetta) went out of his way to tell his committee last week that GOP Rep Kasey Carpenter’s HB 131 would not give Georgia’s illegal aliens benefits unavailable to Americans and legal immigrants. Martin: “…this does not put people that are in the country illegally in front of others.”

Martin referred to an educational email sent to the Republican members of the committee in an effort to create doubt as to its accuracy. He declined to name the sender. I will. I am the sender. He also incorporated a few lines of the bill that have nothing to do with his remarks – which are entirely false. As a matter of fact it’s difficult not to refer to what state Representative Chuck Martin said as an intentional lie. You can see and hear his entire pre-hearing sale speech to the members of his committee here.

The legislation serves to lower the existing tuition rates paid by illegal aliens in Georgia’s public colleges and tech schools by dodging the term “instate tuition” and creating a new tier of tuition – they are calling it “Opportunity tuition.” Carpenter tried the same hustle in 2021 when his first two tries at fooling his fellow committee members failed. Illegal alien students who benefit from the new rate would be known as “Opportunity students.” That new rate would only be the sum of the instate rate plus one to ten percent – a huge reduction for the illegals.

American and legal immigrants who live in other states would not be eligible for this lower rate. They would still be required to pay the out of state tuition charge.

The powerful Georgia Chamber of Commerce is pushing for this bill to pass – again.

Enter the liberal AJC with a story today from education reporter Vanessa McCray on the bill and the false assurance from Martin (AJC On Campus: Georgia student loan numbers, DACA tuition bill). McCray and her editors know the illegals would be getting a deal on reduced tuition that a U.S. citizen in Michigan (for example) could not get at Georgia’s Kennesaw State University (for example) but they play along with Martin with the knowledge that any ignorant legislators and/or readers will take Martin’s hogwash as fact. For those in the back: the AJC wants the bill to pass.

We expect Martin to allow a few more days before calling a hearing on the bill to allow the AJC distribution of the misinformation to travel around the state. Dollars to donuts other ‘journalists” will parrot the lie.

This is standard fare for the Atlanta Journal Constitution. They pulled a similar misinformation campaign the last time Carpenter tried to slide his “illegal aliens first” bill through. See here and here as examples. More on the AJC here.

The below letter was sent to opinion page editor Andrea Jackson and the letters submission address the AJC last week (Jan 11). I have been cancelled for about two years.

Here is another example. I have many more.

Re: “Students need more schooling choices” Buzz Brockway, Jan 10, 2023

“School choice” talk should include immigration reality

In his recent guest column, lobbyist and former Gwinnett Republican state Rep Buzz Brockway offered a renewed argument for K-12 “school choice” in Georgia that warrants further consideration. The premise is that students are behind because of Covid so we need legislation to allow “…parents and guardians to access funds directly…” so they can use state money to pay for private school tuition and other benefits, including private tutoring.

Missing here is recognition of the raging illegal immigration crisis in the nation and in Georgia. Somewhere north of 260,000 unaccompanied migrant children/minors have been encountered at the southern border since President Biden took office, per U.S. Customs & Border Protection agency data. The Center for Immigration Studies in Washington estimates about 80% of the minors are placed with family members who are already living here illegally – including in Georgia.

School choice is a solid idea. Encouraging and rewarding illegal immigration into Georgia with offers of a taxpayer-financed private K-12 school education isn’t. The former should not include the latter.

There they go again. Today’s AJC “Jolt” run by editor Patricia Murphy leaps of the screen with a headline telling readers about “outrage after GOP warns Stacey Abrams is crossing ‘border’ for visit.” As you can see below the Patricia Murphy scare takes us back to 1912 – when the Democrats ran Georgia and Forsyth County. She failed to mention that in today’s race baiting “racial cleansing” plug for the 2018 runner-up for Georgia governor. So we did.

Melissa Clink, who chairs the local Democratic party, blasted the “dangerous and embarrassing rhetoric” from their GOP counterparts and singled out the line noting Abrams is “crossing our border.”

“Forsyth County’s history of racial cleansing and being a documented sundown town make this line especially incendiary, disgusting and shameful.”

She’s referring to the racial cleansing in 1912 that forced the Black population of roughly 1,100 to flee Forsyth County.

Clink added: “You will not silence us. If anything, your actions will make us louder.”

By now most people who can think for themselves recognize that the liberal media – meaning most of the media – is tireless in its endless effort to blur the lines between illegal aliens and immigrants.

Reporters, producers, editors and headline writers (and many politicians) intentionally refer to illegal aliens as “immigrants.” It doesn’t happen the other way around.

This is done to confuse the easily confused and the ever-decreasing number of Americans who still trust the liberal media. But it is also done with planning and foresight in an intentional effort to smear pro-enforcement activists. The end game is that if you dare to support immigration enforcement and deportation of illegal aliens – as the law allows – the liberal media will soon refer to you as “anti-immigrant” or “anti-immigration.”

Not many newspapers handle this dishonest scheme more shamelessly or more often than the Atlanta Journal Constitution where the latest marketing slogan is “It’s Worth Knowing What’s Really Going On.” Really.

Today’s edition of the AJC is a good example of the above. A front page story is headlined “Doctors: Immigrants need dialysis help.” The news report is all about selling Georgia taxpayers on the idea of providing illegal aliens with taxpayer-funded dialysis which doesn’t happen now. But as you can see from the headline, the average liberal reader who trusts the liberal AJC editors for “the news,” scans the headlines and moves on will be walking around from now on with the idea that immigrants cannot get dialysis.

Today’s AJC:

The same agenda was presented in an AJC online story on August 3 with the headline “Doctors push state to cover dialysis for undocumented immigrants.”

To recap for the few liberal readers we have here: Twelve days ago the subject of the same AJC sales presentation was “undocumented immigrants.” Today they are “immigrants.” Get it?

Whatever you think about encouraging more illegal immigration into Georgia by providing more and more services to “the undocumented” be aware of the constant, abject dishonesty in the presentation by the AJC.

For another example, see the AJC editors tell headline readers to open the door to higher education to immigrants.

• Our long-established and foolproof test of who’s who on this topic goes like this: Real immigrants come to the U.S.A. lawfully and do not require amnesty.

Sent to the liberal AJC June 30, 2022. It will never see print as I have been blacklisted cancelled.

Dear editor,

Stacey Abrams, runner-up in the 2018 Georgia contest for governor and current Democrat candidate, is Founder of the New Georgia Project, a far-left 501c 3 effort open about its advocacy for race-and ethnicity-based identity politics. In 2019 NGP distributed pre-addressed, voter information-gathering post cards featuring the demand to “keep ICE out of our communities” at an anti-enforcement forum in Georgia’s Gwinnett County. The goal (eventually successful) was to end the life-saving 287(g) partnership between the Gwinnett Sheriff’s office and ICE.

Gov Kemp is campaigning against Abrams with charges that she supports “defunding the police.” Media coverage — including in the AJC — features her denials of holding that position.

We note that nobody, including Kemp, has mentioned Abrams documented anti-enforcement stance on Georgia’s illegal immigration crisis or her demand that dangerous criminal illegals be released from Georgia jails without notifying the feds.

We think the disgraceful silence from all concerned is intended to keep illegal immigration out of the election equation in a state with more illegals than Arizona.

Both leading Republican candidates for Georgia’s 2022 U.S. Senate race have supported immigration amnesty

A Washington friend asked me to outline what is happening in Georgia with the 2022 race for U.S. Senate related to immigration. I explained that reading the liberal Atlanta Journal Constitution would not give him a full picture.

_____

The story so far.

Elected in 2010, career Big Ag lobbyist and Georgia’s current Commissioner of Agriculture, Gary Black, went to Washington in 2011 and recommended to a U.S. Senate panel that illegal alien farm labor be legalized. They should be required to remain in the farm industry to keep their renewable work permits, he said.

See here for a link to Black’s Senate testimony.

Gary Black is now a Republican candidate for U.S. Senate to replace pro amnesty Democrat Raphael Warnock.    

Agriculture is Georgia’s largest industry. Republicans control the state Capitol – as much as the Georgia Chamber of Commerce and Big Ag allow.

Georgia media treats Black’s amnesty and indentured servitude advocacy as a closely guarded secret. This includes the uber-liberal Atlanta Journal Constitution.  And some establishment Republican talk show hosts.

Black is the donor class choice for the 2022 Republican senate primary, which is illustrated by the fact that former Governor Nathan Deal has endorsed him. So have about seventy-five Georgia sheriffs and a long list of Republican state legislators – few of whom, we suspect, are aware of his past call for amnesty. We think it likely that few care.

Enter Trump-pushed senate hopeful and now front runner Georgia football icon Herschel Walker who finally announced his own candidacy in late August. Big on “unity,” Walker was slow to put out a real campaign platform or position on “issues” until news broke this week about his past call for immigration amnesty.

Yesterday the liberal AJC ran a story on Walker and a 2015 statement he made regarding amnesty.

“He told USA Today in August 2015 that he supports Trump’s idea of building a wall along the U.S. border with Mexico but disagreed with his plan to deport millions of immigrants living in the country illegally. He also said then that he’d back a proposal that enables such immigrants to earn citizenship” goes the AJC report. Update: Walker on controlling the border and the economy to the UGA College Republicans – January 13, 2022 .

The next day (Oct 19) the AJC political blog (“The Jolt”) reported that Gary Black created and is airing a radio ad hitting Walker for his immigration stance.

As of late October 19, the AJC still has not reported on Black’s amnesty advocacy or the indentured servitude angle. I waited until the daily AJC political blog was posted this AM to put this up. No mention of Gary Black’s call for amnesty. Some news is apparently more news than other news…

It’s a good bet the liberal AJC plans on keeping Black’s secret as long as they can. Meantime, pro-amnesty Democrat incumbent Warnock has (updated amount from “9 million”) $17 million cash on hand.

The Herschel Walker camp has not disputed or backed away from his 2015 comments on amnesty but has put out a statement that includes the below moldy-oldie dodge:

“America is a nation of immigrants, and Herschel strongly supports those who follow the process to legally enter this country,” said Walker campaign spokesperson Mallory Blount. “He has several dear friends who have done so. We have a humanitarian and illegal immigration crisis at our southern border that career politicians have created.

“When you have a leak, you fix it. Any conversations about immigration have to start with finally securing our southern border and Herschel will work to make that happen, unlike our current senators.” – Capitol Beat News Service.

We don’t think the advisors in Walker’s campaign have a clue about visa overstays and that more than half of the illegal aliens in the U.S. today did not come over the border illegally. Voters either. It’s not included in “the news” from the AJC.

Did we mention that Walker is in the race because Trump pushed his candidacy? It is good to see that Walker is urging people to actually vote in the coming election.

Also relevant is an October 4, 2021 AJC story finally breaking the news that some pro-enforcement Georgia Republicans are not happy with the betrayal by Gov Brian Kemp. A large metro-Atlanta area county GOP group censured the Republican Governor for, among other things, ignoring his detailed 2018 campaign promises on illegal immigration.

The agenda-driven AJC editors headline described Kemp’s pledge to go after “criminal illegals” and sanctuary cities as being “anti-immigration.” It helps outsiders understanding of “news” in Atlanta to know that the AJC served as dinner Chair for a MALDEF fundraiser here.

We are desperately seeking pro-enforcement candidates for the U.S. Senate and governor – and refer to our GOP-ruled state as ‘Georgiafornia.’
