More of Martha Zoller protecting Gov. Brian Kemp on the radio

By

Republican radio show host Martha Zoller says illegal immigration has increased so much that Brian Kemp “had to change his tactics” and abandon his campaign promises on “criminal illegals” and ending sanctuary cities.

 

The occasion was Martha Zoller responding to me accurately and repeatedly pointing out that Brian Kemp abandoned not only his campaign promises on “criminal illegals” sometime in January or February 2024 – a Thursday, according to my notes. I noted the remark then but only just found it today. I failed to date it.

Republican radio show host Martha Zoller:

“No politician ever keeps all of their promises. You have to look at the whole body of work.” 10:42 AM.

Later on the same day while discussing a different politician: “We gotta start keeping people accountable.”

Martha Zoller on “the border” and doing the right thing in Georgia

Georgia Gang TV talk show Fox 5, Atlanta – Feb 18, 2024

Georgia Gang moderator,Lori Geary:

“Gov. Kemp announced this week. He would send more Georgia National Guard troops to the US-Mexico border and Texas. Kemp held a press conference Tuesday afternoon as Republicans in both the House and the Senate pushed through resolutions condemning President Joe Biden’s border policy and saying they back any effort by Governor Kemp to allocate resources for the protection of the southern border. Martha.

Republican radio show host Martha Zoller says illegal immigration has increased so much that Brian Kemp “had to change his tactics” and abandon his campaign promises on “criminal illegals” and ending sanctuary cities.

Martha Zoller :

You know, I’m gonna say something good on both sides here, okay? I think that we did the right thing in Georgia, sending more resources down is good and we’re seeing in Texas a dramatic reduction because of the things they’re doing on the border. But on the Biden side, they did a couple of discussions with the Mexican government, which the Mexican government has stepped up their game and they are deporting people before they get across the border and this past month is gonna show a reduction in people crossing the border. So people are starting to listen on this issue on Democrat and Republican side, and, um, hopefully they will continue to do that.”

The below is from the Martha Zoller radio show on WDUN radio, about 10:40-ish on Feb. 15, 2024 and starts just after it is clear that Martha is again about to hit her points on illegal alien eligibility for her proposed repeat of the Reagan amnesty of 1986.

My cost $24.00 and about one hour of my time.

Martha Zoller:

It is exactly, exactly what you think. You got to stop the bleeding first, then you can fix everything else. Very simple.

Logan:

Just take it one step at a time.

Martha Zoller:

One, one step at a time. One day at a time, sweet Jesus, that’s for sure. Okay, so, and I’m with you about legal versus illegal. We immigrate. Y’all get tired of me saying this, but I’m gonna keep saying it until people start listening. We immigrate legally to this country more than the rest of the world combined. So, so a whole lot of other countries that have a lot fewer people immigrating every year and a lot of them wouldn’t want to, okay? We’re about the only country in the world that people wanna break into.

But 3 million, which is three times what the legal immigration rate is, is not sustainable in illegal immigrants every single year. And that’s what we know of, okay? Now, what I will say is there is a shut down the border, stop the flow, okay, of illegal immigrants. That’s one and two. Then three is legal immigration and DACA, okay? I would say three parts. Legal immigration, DACA, and people that have been here a long time, okay?

Moderate Republican radio host Martha Zoller

You have legal immigration that we need to fix and we need to make it merit-based. We then need to lower the number of green cards by about 400,000 and, and use that 400,000 to clear the backlog of visas that people have been waiting for green cards. Clear the backlog, get caught up, people shouldn’t have to wait 15 years if they come here legally to become, uh, permanent citizens, okay, or permanent residents, then you can apply for citizenship.

Two, is the DACA kids, all right. I do not think DACA kids are all the way up to 16 years old, okay? But if you came to this country with your parents and you were 2 to 10 years old, and Donald Trump even agreed with me on this, you should be able to stay with your parents and because you don’t know anything else. Your home is not Mexico or wherever it is that you came from. And even Donald Trump in April of 2017 said to Nancy Pelosi, not Nikki Haley, Nancy Pelosi, that he didn’t interpose them. He knew who he was talking to. He said to her, “I will give you the DACA kids and their parents, 2.2 million, if you will give me 5 billion for the wall.” Even Donald Trump thought that was a good deal, okay.

So I know there’s people out there, DA, you know who you are, that you say that’s me being amnesty. No, that’s me doing what Trump did, okay? And I don’t think he was for amnesty. Then there’s a third group of people, which you’re gonna laugh about, but there’s roughly a million and a half illegal immigrants that have gone to the trouble to get tax ID numbers from the IRS and they file taxes on time every year. Those people ought to be legalized, okay? If they go to the trouble, you wouldn’t do that if you didn’t think you were… you had some sort of legal claim.

Because you have a whole group of people, and granted, I know, you don’t wanna hear what, what Newt Gingrich said where sometimes you got to take it family by family. Okay, I know you don’t wanna hear that, but, but sometimes you’re gonna have to take it family by family. Because there are people that paid somebody 3 or 4 or $5,000 in their country, got documents, they thought they were coming here legally, they didn’t know they were coming here illegally, they didn’t find out until they got here. And then there’s no way to kind of fix that.

I don’t know what the answer to that question is, except for the fact if you actually got a tax ID number and you’re paying taxes, you probably ought to get into some kind of line where you can get to legal status, where you can get to at least vi- a visa where you can stay. If you’re… If you’ve gone to the trouble to get a tax ID number and file taxes, okay? Maybe that’s crazy and maybe that makes me an amnesty… You know what? I- I- you know, I’m, I’m getting so close, Logan, to saying words that I shouldn’t say. But I’m so angry about this but I’m gonna catch myself. Don’t worry. Okay? You don’t have to worry.

But it’s like I’m so tired of people saying that if you’re willing to talk about solutions that you want amnesty and you just wanna be overrun. I think it’s two different things.

Logan:

No, I mean, that’s not a, a crazy idea at all. A- and like you said, sometimes you just kind of bite your tongue, sometimes, (laughs) [inaudible 00:04:52]-

Martha Zoller:

I do. Sometimes I bite right through it. I do.

Logan:

Yeah.

Martha Zoller:

Okay, so then we got another text message and it doesn’t have a name on it, but it said, “Trump’s saying that he intentionally interposed names is a lame attempt to cover his gaff. Haley is correct that the US can never align with Putin.” Never. We can ne-

Martha Zoller on air: In response to a text Martha read from a listener noting that Gov Brian Kemp has not honored his 2018 campaign promises on illegal immigration and asking if she ever has D.A. King on her show:
 Zoller quickly starts with “I know D.A. King very well… he is the only person I have blocked on Twitter…”
Transcript from recording, still on D.A. King

“…Uh, and I’ve done it because he is unreasonable in his points of view. Um, I’ve worked with him on many issues related to Dustin Inman Society. I helped him raise money. I’ve been involved with it. And because I believe that Governor Kemp… First of all, you can’t assume every Hispanic person you see is an illegal immigrant. And that if they don’t speak English well, that they’re illegal. Okay, that’s- that’s unfair, that’s prejudiced. It’s not racist, it’s prejudiced, you’re, you have a prejudice against this person, okay. But what I will say is, um, we have pretty tough laws as it relates to illegal immigration and- and the governor has helped with the National Guard, he’s done all kinds of things with Governor Greg Abbott as far as the border crisis is concerned. Yes, you’re right, he hasn’t been “rounding up illegal immigrants” like he said in his primary ad. And I didn’t like that ad.

Screenshot, Brian Kemp 2018 TV campaign ad.

I was one of those people that, um, was seeing… I got to see those ads early and I picked the Jake one. I loved it. Where he was sitting on the porch by one of Jake Dateman’s daughter, I loved that. I thought it had a great sense of humor. And then the other one I liked was him taking a chainsaw to regulation. I didn’t like the- the pickup truck one, but that’s the one they went through. And I just believe the situation of, if you can’t look at the situation on the border and see that the s- that the game has changed, and that we’re gonna need different tactics to deal with it, then I can’t really talk to you about it. But, um, we’re gonna take a break and when we come back we’ll take you up to the top of the hour. I will look up Kayla Hamilton and, uh, try to be a little more knowledgeable about that. We’ll be back.*

Martha Zoller on air:

… first. Now, I looked up the Kayla Hamilton case. This happened in July of 2022. Uh, she was, um, autistic woman who was killed by an MS-13 gang member, um, and, um, you know, there, you know, is… She sent messages to President Biden, and look, anybody… Dustin Inman, anybody whose child or is killed because of a person who’s an illegal immigrant, that is a wrong thing to do. That is the, the wrong thing. Um, that is somebody that shouldn’t be in this country, so that person should still be safe and sound. So we should work hard against that, and that should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

We have got to secure the border, number one. You can join us on the phones at 770-535-2911, and I believe that we can do it. You know, I believe that we can deal with all of these things, and we can… we showed that we can do it during the Trump administration and, to some degree, during the, the Obama administration. The Obama… Obama was very tough on immigration. He deported more people every year. He, um… He didn’t do all this, “Come one, come all,” kind of stuff. He was very interesting because in front of his crowds, he would say one thing, but how he implemented the law was very different. And I’m sure that had to do, to some degree, with the fact that he had people that were legal immigrants in his life, and when you talk to people who were legal immigrants, who came here legally, they are very hard-line as it comes to the border situation.

But then you had Donald Trump come in, and he did the remain in Mexico. And he did a number of things, and he got the number of children, especially, in custody down to less than 500. And the sad thing about that was that those were people that they couldn’t find their families or their families didn’t want them. That’s really hard to imagine. Um, now we’re up to s- … of children in custody, and the reason why just whole separating kids from their parents, the reason why children… by and large, is they don’t have documentation they belong to that adult, and there is some rel- … reason to believe there might be something going on that’s… that could be bad for the child, either sex trafficking, labor trafficking, sut- …

We don’t just separate children from their parents, and we’ve got to stop making this a partisan issue because Republicans go in office, and we… we’re, we’re hard-line about it. Democrats come in, and we soften up. And then we go back and forth and back an- … Enforcing the law should not be partisan. Enforcing the law should be what we all do and that… what we all support, or we do what Governor Deal did when he was a congressman. You enforce the law, or you… if you don’t think the law fits anymore, then you change law. And that’s what you do. So I appreciate the [inaudible 00:03:12] from people, um, that related to this. You’ve got to really be… got to get on the same page as far as illegal immigration goes.

Um… in Cleveland said, “I’m so sick of democrats referring to our country as democracy. Thomas Jefferson had to say about democracies, ‘A democracy is nothing more than [inaudible 00:03:32] over 51% of the people may take away the rights of the other 40.’ They are a constitutional republic.” That’s Don from Cl- Cleveland.

Martha Zoller still pushing amnesty for illegal aliens she says “pay taxes” #KempRepublican

The below transcript from Rev.com is from the 10:00 hour of The Martha Zoller Show, WDUN in Gainesville, Nov. 29, 2023.

My cost: $22.00 and about an hour of my life.

Audio below

As in most of the state of Georgia, much of the Gainesville area economy depends on black market labor – or what the leftist media merely refers to as “immigrants.”

We note, again, that either Martha doesn’t know of what she speaks, or is intentionally misleading telling her listeners by telling them that illegal aliens who obtain an ITIN are “paying taxes.” We assume Martha means income taxes. She hasn’t yet told her audience that illegal aliens can and do use the ITIN to file claim the Child Tax credit and the Additional Child tax credit (“CTC & ACTC”). And despite our repeated heads up to Martha (maybe she doesn’t read our Martha Zoller file?) she is keeping to herself the fact that having an ITIN does not mean the illegal alien pays income taxes – not that paying taxes is a reason for another immigration amnesty.

And Martha is apparently silent on the fact that ITINs exist for people who cannot get a Social Security Number, which must be given to employers in the hiring process.

To illegally get a job in the U.S., illegal aliens use a fake or stolen SSN, which is a federal felony. Doing so is also a Georgia felony (we note tax the state law is seldom enforced for illegal aliens). So much for the “the only crime they commit is entering the U.S. illegally” and “criminal illegal immigrants” goop from Martha – which also leaves off the massive visa overstay crisis.

  • Related: How can Undocumented Immigrants be Hired Without a Social Security Number?

“Since the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986, all employers are required to verify the work eligibility of all new hires by completing Form I-9, which mandates the employee provide a Social Security number and show documents to their employer to prove work authorization and identity. U.S. citizens frequently show their driver’s license and Social Security card, but because there are a number of documents that can be used to complete the form, the worker does not necessarily need to show their actual Social Security card. “Undocumented workers” who are hired without valid work authorization may provide their employer a fake Social Security number, someone else’s number, or even a previously-valid number issued when they may have had work authorization that has since lapsed.”

We think Martha falls into the category of “not an honest broker.”

Martha Zoller is a “Kemp Republican.”

Richard (caller):

show in progress – “… th- that was my comment for the morning because it drives me crazy to hear people using the- the, uh, buzz words that Democrats put out there. Then the newscasters use it. And- and it becomes the common genre of everybody to use that- that verbiage to justify their point, not the truth.

Martha Zoller, Republican amnesty supporter:

No. I think you’re absolutely right. And look, it’s frustrating to me because enforcing the law, I mean tax law, uh, if I were … I’ve said this before. If I were going back to do my life over again, I would have been a staffer for a congressman and focused on tax policy. And then I would’ve gone out as a lobbyist, because the- the protection of the tax code is something like you’ve never seen before, Richard, because people don’t want us to simplify our tax code. They like it the way it is. But with that said, you’ve got to deal with it the way it is. And using the tax code to your benefit is not cheating.

Richard:

That’s right.

Martha Zoller, Republican amnesty supporter:

Absolutely. Thanks for your call today very much. (770) 535-2911. Yeah. I- I like to always say that, following the law is not cheating. All right? And I- I go back to what my friend, Nathan Deal, said. You need to enforce the law or change it. He was talking about illegal immigration at that time, but illegal immigrants now, their whole, their whole situation has changed, to where they are now saying they’re coming here because Biden told them to come here. They say they’re coming here because, uh, because, uh, they want, a- not they want a better life. They want what we’re giving them. And we’re talking about hundreds of billions of dollars that are being spent on these migrants that are coming across the border illegally, and we’re just letting them in, for untold amounts of time, until they get some kind of hearing. And we’re gonna lose these folks.

And look, I think that- that there are several different layers of immigration. There is legal immigration, which- which I’ve talked about before. We need to implement something like the RAISE Act, where we focus on catching up on green cards and on the skills that we need, and we’re less focused on just how many family members we can get in, and more focused, I’m not saying do away with the family part of it, but less focused on that. More focused on getting the skillsets that we need in the society. That’s the legal immigration part.

Then you have the illegal immigration part, where you’ve got the people that have been here for a long time. Some of them have tax ID numbers. I- I think, I forget the number. The IRS has a number on that of how many illegal immigrants have gone through the trouble to get their tax ID number. So we got, we know who they are, and we know that they’re paying taxes on the money that they’re earning. We have people that have been here for 25 years. But that group of people, and this is where I get in trouble with the, with a lot of the immigration groups, that group of people needs to be looked at differently than criminal illegal immigrants, uh, than people that are committing crimes once they’re here.

There was this story … And then there’s the group that came through in the last three years, which is the biggest group. And Joe Biden, you know, he keeps talking about in 50 years what people are gonna say about him. In 50 years, people are gonna say that he ruined this country and that it took us 30 years to get out of the mess that he made. That’s what they’re gonna be saying about him in 50 years. This is gonna be like some of the decisions He- Herbert Hoover made at the beginning of the Depression that cost us until we got through the second World War. That’s what this is gonna be like. That is, and it’s 100 year cycle. I mean, I hate to say it, but that’s where we are. We’re in this hundred year, hundred year cycle.

But the bottom line is that we have got a serious immigration problem. And it’s not if, but when we have a terrorist attack as a result of the people that we’ve let in this country that we have no idea who they are. And Joe Biden is wrong on this. Mayorkas is wrong on this. And we that are in the- the fix the immigration system camp need to work together instead of picking on each other because they might disagree about one thing or another thing. That’s why nothing’s gotten done here. That and the, both sides love raising money on this. Both sides love raising money on this.

Martha Zoller on D.A. King

Republican radio show host Martha Zoller says illegal immigration has increased so much that Brian Kemp “had to change his tactics” and abandon his campaign promises on “criminal illegals” and ending sanctuary cities.
From the Friday, Nov. 17, 2023 Martha Zoller radio show.

Martha Zoller:

“And you know, I have had Marilyn Marks on before, and she’s taken a lot of pot shots at me. But I’ll be very honest, she’s one of those people that you can’t have a conversation with, because she’s only got her point of view and she’s not willing to consider anything else. And look, I’m a, I’m as open as anybody else. Anybody can call in. I got DA King attacking me almost every day on Twitter, where I’ve reached out to him. I’ve told him on Twitter. I’ve called him in the past. He can be on any time he wants to to call, to, to talk about immigration if he wants to. But a lot of people just wanna get on their mountain, say their point of view, and not ever entertain anybody else.”

Republican radio show host Martha Zoller also says illegal immigration has increased so much that Brian Kemp “had to change his tactics” and abandon his 2018 campaign promises on “criminal illegals” and ending sanctuary cities.

 

The below is from the Martha Zoller radio show, Nov. 15, 2023. Martha was commenting on the statements from candidate Nikki Haley. See below and here.

Apparently Haley was merely re-hashing the RAISE Act?

Niki Haley, candidate for president:

When it comes to legal immigration, it’s a broken system. It shouldn’t take someone 10 years to become a citizen (note from D.A. : It doesn’t). So…

 

But what we need to do is reform it. So for too long, Republican and Democrat presidents dealt with immigration based on a quota. We’ll take X number this year, we’ll take X number next year, the debate is on the number. It’s the wrong way to look at it. We need to do it based on merit. We need to go to our industries and say, “What do you need that you don’t have?” So think agriculture, think tourism, think tech. We want the talent that’s going to make us better, then you bring people in that can fill those needs.

Martha Zoller GOP radio show host:

Um, that was Niki Haley talking to some folks in a diner in Iowa about legal immigration. There’ve been some people that have um pushed back on what she said. But what she’s talking about is really the RAISE Act, that yes, we have a very, very serious illegal immigration problem that could be fixed with the border being secure, with doing some things related to stay in Mexico. I mean, honestly, we’d have a lot easier time securing the Mexican border than we do have our own border. We could get some help from Mexico doing it, but there’s a lot of things we could talk about related to illegal immigration and we do. Okay? Because we have way too many people that have come in over the last three and a half, thirty years and especially in the last three and a half years. And then we have uh, a lot of people that we don’t know how they got in.

But what Niki Haley is talking about in this clip is legal immigration, okay? We need to shift from what is just an overall number of visas, at 1.1 million, that you apply for to that are some visa programs that are more merit-based, meaning that you have to meet some criteria. So in the RAISE act, which I supported, um it was things like being able to speak English. That wasn’t the only thing, there was a whole list of things. Where the more items, more boxes you could check the more likely you were going to be, to be able to get a um, a visa, okay?

You ought to have an ability to make legal, H-1B visa holders, they’re tech people, H-1B visa holders that have been living here for a number of years. They have children that have been born here, they are legal immigrants. They are not illegal immigrants. They are legal immigrants. They are waiting for a green card. We’ve got to speed up that process. That is not anti-American. That is pro-American. These are people that are following the law, okay, and want to come into this country and have the proper documents to come into this country. These should be separate from the what, two and half million a year that have been coming in, two million a year that we know of that have been coming in at the border since Joe Biden has been President. And the 1.1 million that legally immigrant. It’s a separate situation.

Lets go to the phones now and talk to Alan in Dahlonega. Hey Allan, how you doing?

Alan:

I’m good. You?

Martha Zoller GOP radio show host:

I’m fantastic. Thank you.

Alan:

All right. Appreciate it. Um, I tuned just a little bit ago so you might have already talked about this, but um, uh I heard um, about uh what Niki Haley had to say uh, on the news about social media?

Martha Zoller GOP radio show host:

Yes.

Alan:

And uh, I was thinking um, hopefully um everybody’s not getting all their news from social media. Maybe she’s uh, maybe they’re getting too much from TikTok or maybe she is. I don’t, I don’t know what’s going on here but uh, you know, I liked her most of the time but uh just things like that I thinks like infringing on uh, uh first amendment um-

Martha Zoller GOP radio show host:

Yeah. I do think, I think that you know, I think what she said was to be clear, she said she wanted the, she was going to ask the social media companies to um turn over their algorithms and she was going to say that every person had to use their actual name on their handles. I do think that oversteps. I agree with you on that. I, I, I do think that the government needs to work with social media companies about um, about, you know, what their algorithms are and what they’re doing. I think there ought, they ought to work with it because they’re functioning off of like 1990s law. And you know technology’s come a long way since the 1990s.

Alan:

Right.

Martha Zoller GOP radio show host:

I mean it’s kind of like it took forever to change the telephone laws because they were like 1906 rate or something like that. So we’ve got to look at that. And I personally, I do not respond to anyone that does not use what looks like a real name or has their real name in their um a, a, uh, has their real name in their description because to me, it’s kind of like, remember the old days of letters and stamps, right? So I, we used to get mail-

Alan:

Right.

Martha Zoller GOP radio show host:

… here at the station of people that liked you or didn’t like you,

Alan:

(laughs)

Martha Zoller GOP radio show host:

… and basically the rule of thumb was if they didn’t have a return address on the envelope it went into the circular file. If they wanted, you know, if, if you’re not willing to put your name on your complaint that you’re going to mail to me, then I’m not going to take the time to read it. (laughs) So, that’s kind of what the way I am about social media. If you don’t use a real name, I don’t really read it.

Alan:

Well and then like I said, the other thing is maybe people ought to consider uh, I don’t know how else we can do it, but electronically the newspapers or something or some other way besides just you know so many of these s-, especially millennials like that get their all they’re news from social media.

Martha Zoller GOP radio show host:

It does. And yeah I have a daughter. My youngest child’s 31. My kids are 31 to 41. And so my youngest child’s like, “Mom. I’m getting all this stuff in my feed that I didn’t sign up for. I didn’t ask for it.” And it’s all news-related. And uh you’re right. You’ve got to go somewhere else. I think it’s no different than Wikipedia, okay? It’s not a bad place to start. You might find something you want to learn more about. But you need to go to other sources to learn about it.

Alan:

All right. I appreciate it.

Martha Zoller GOP radio show host:

Thanks Alan.

Alan:

That’s it.

Martha Zoller GOP radio show host:

Appreciate, appreciate your call very much. And you know I do think, I don’t know Logan, I want to chi-, I’m always making Logan chime in these days because I think it’s important to get a person his age point of view. I don’t know if you heard the clip that Niki Haley said but basically she said, first we’re going to get, I want to see their algorithms. Second, I want them to require that that people are verified to be real people, not bots, okay? I think the second one might be a little easier to do, that you can verify that it’s a real person. But the first thing, I mean, that’s kind of proprietary to a company. I don’t know if the government can ask for that. I do think there needs to be an update of laws related to social media because they are running on 1990s laws.

Logan:

Right.

Martha Zoller GOP radio show host:

But I don’t, you know and I don’t, I don’t know if a President can actually control that.

Logan:

I’m not sure if they can and, and I’m not sure about the, you know, you have to have your real name on social media. And I can see why she might have said that, but also it kind of restricts your freedom that those apps give you. Uh because you know you can have various different Twitter handles and what not, and just kind of restricts it. But I get where she’s coming from but I think, like you mentioned, she kind of overstepped her boundaries there.

Martha Zoller GOP radio show host:

Absolutely. And you know what? People I know social media’s fun because you can say whatever you want and nobody knows who you are, but eventually you’re going to know who you are and you need to think about what you say. It’s the Martha Zoller show. We’ll be back….

Moderate Republican Martha Zoller still pushing amnesty, still confused on facts

By

 

The below is from the Martha Zoller opening monologue to start the week on Monday, Nov. 13, 2023. I say again: I get the impression she pushes amnesty and inaccurate related “facts” to her listeners pretty much every day. We’ll get to this when time allows, but part of the recurring theme seems to be if an illegal alien obtains an ITIN he should be rewarded with amnesty. SMH

Good news! Martha didn’t push her mindless defense of Gov. Brian Kemp today that goes like this: “He had to change his tactics” and refuse to honor his 2018 pledge to enforce anti-sanctuary city laws in Georgia, to create a public database of what he referred to as criminal illegals” and to send legislation to the general assembly that he labeled “the Kemp Track and Deport Plan.” So, that’s something, eh?

Amnesty supporter Martha Zoller:

… now. So, as I’ve said before, you know, I get criticized for it ’cause there’s some hardliners out there, but as I’ve said before, there is a complica- it is a complicated issue, but it’s not that complicated to solve. The first thing you gotta do now on the northern and the southern border, because there’s a big problem on the northern border now, a 500% increase in people crossing on the northern border. There’s bigger challenges because when you cross in cold weather, and there’s a lot of people that somehow have gotten to Canada that are not Canadians that are coming across this border. So you’ve got to secure the border, you’ve got to use troops if you have to. You’ve gotta build a wall where it makes sense to build a wall. But the whole concept of building a wall was never gonna be, you built a 2,000-mile wall on both on the north and south of the border.

It always depended upon terrain, and geography, and where it could be built, okay. So, you know, what’s co- the goal is to drive people to the legal points of entry so that they have to do the things that people do to come in legally or be turned away. So that’s gotta be done first. Then you’ve got the people on… there’s an app for that, you know, that have signed up that we pretty much know where they are. Need to round those folks up and get them outta here because they’re not all asylum seekers, seekers. We’ve probably already let terrorists in. We probably have, I hate to be so negative about that. I got an email saying, “Martha, don’t say that because it’ll scare people.” Well, I’m scared, okay. I’m not changing the way I live my life, but I am aware that there’s probably cells of, of Hamas or Hezbollah in the United States right now, um, think that’s true.

Then I hope people would look at the RAISE Act, uh, which deals with the legal immigration issue, uh, because there are H-1B, H-1A  (Note from D.A.: the H-1A nurse program, enacted by the Nursing Relief Act of 1989, expired on September 1, 1995.[4][5] The last H-1A visas were issued in Fiscal Year 2000.[6]  – here.) visa holders that are waiting for green cards, they’re waiting longer than what they would normally have to wait. And, uh, because of that, uh, they have lots of limitations on them. Their spouses can’t work. There’s other things, but these are people that wanna stay in the United States. They filed the paperwork, they’ve done the process, they’ve done their time. The big challenge is w- if they… As they wait for the green card, is it’s their employer that’s implied for the green card. So their employer, they kind of are indentured servants. They can’t change jobs. So that’s a big problem that could be fixed through the RAISE Act that was introduced by Senator Perdue.

Then we’ve got to have more pressure on employers so that they don’t have incentives to hire illegal immigrants. There ought to be E-Verify everywhere. There’s supposed to be E-Verify everywhere, but there are some places where they’re not. We need to make sure that employers have more penalties for hiring illegal immigrants, that will stem the tide if there’s not work. Um, but then ultimately, what we’re gonna have to do is there’s a whole group of people that have been here a long time that have different levels of, of situation. And again, you know, I don’t know if it’s 20 years Newt Gingrich talked about 25 years, 20 years, 10 years, 15 years. I don’t know what it is. That’s for other people to decide, that if you have lived here X period of time, you have not interacted with law in other ways, and you have followed certain… It ought to be taken on a family by family basis and looked at.

There’s also a group of people. I mean, I know this is complicated. I’m making y’all… I’m, I’m sure you’re head splitting around like Linda Blair, but you’ve got also a group of people that have gone and gotten tax ID numbers and they’re filing taxes every year. Those folks… I mean, I think they ought to be put at the front of the line because they’re, they’re paying taxes even though they could get away with not paying taxes, that shows they wanna be a part of the country. So I don’t think there’s one answer to this. I do think it’s complicated, and I am a Conservative, I am a no illegal immigration person, but you also have to know, you know, you’re dealing with people here that are in different situations.

Let’s just… For example, a person that I helped at one point in time, because I didn’t know she was an illegal immigrant, but she finally confessed to me that she was, and she had come in on a false document, but since she had come into the United States, she had married, been married for 13 years to an American, and she had two children. She had, uh, documentation that when she paid for it… she was a Venezuelan at that time, this is 25 years ago, she paid $3,500 for this document. So she thought it was a legal document. In her mind, I’m paying money, I’m getting this document back, it must be legal.

She noticed that the name was spelled wrong, and when she asked about it, they said, “Oh, don’t worry. It’s fine. It’s fine.” So she came in on a false document, and she’s been working, she’s been doing things. Um, and you know, I told her, “I cannot help you except for to say I know you to be a good worker because you’re here illegally, and I don’t want you to be taken away from your children.” But there’s a, there’s a situation here. So finally, you know, an immigration lawyer was able to help her and she was able to stay with her family. And I think that that was a good end to that situation.

But I think that right now that’s what we’re having all around the country is there are people that are intentionally breaking our laws in coming in. There are people that are being taken advantage of by the cartels, and there are people that are in 21st century slavery because they owe money to the cartels, and they can’t pay it back. And so because of that, they’re in a big situation where they’re just being trafficked, either labor trafficking or sex trafficking, and we need to stand up against all of that and we’re gonna need a president that understands how to put this process back together.

And you know what, there’s a couple of people on the Republican side that have done it. I think Nikki Haley could do it. I think Donald Trump could do it. I think Donald Trump did do it. So I think it’ll be a big issue in this next election. We’ll be back on the Martha Zoller Show.

Martha Zoller is looking for “getting things done” and “a good life for the American people” – supports amnesty and dishonestly defends Brian Kemp’s betrayal

Martha Zoller radio show, Nov 8, 2023 – about 10:27 – ish.

Martha felt it necessary to talk on-air about my attention to her now blatantly dishonest and mindless defense of Gov.Kemp on his defiance of his 2018 campaign promises again today and repeat her support for another amnesty for illegals. I was not listening closely and was only able to record a short part of Martha’s latest. I report the rest from notes made while she was speaking and memory after she finished.

If indeed Martha wants her positions well-known, she really needs to arrange a podcast of her entire show each day. Erickson does.

My scribbled notes (no quote marks on the parts I am not sure of) before the recording started I guess about 30 seconds) with the transcript and audio of the rest below that.

On “…D.A. King,” I gather sometimes speaking directly to me (?): “Hardline…”, :…living in the past… “I know he loves me…” that’s why he posts so often, stays on me…makes those posts… every day?  He feels like he has been…

Transcript from recording below – audio below that.

Martha Zoller:

“… talking about any of you, that are one or two people, that live, eat, and breathe that issue. I understand why you’re there, and I understand why you feel betrayed, because it seems like you give and you give and you give flexibility, and you never get any of the things that you’ve been trying to get. And you feel betrayed by politicians, and I get that. What I want… You know, and I know, you know, people think that my explanation of what happened, um, is lacking, because I see what you post, but you know what? It doesn’t bother me, because I think if anybody goes back and listens to the explanations that I’ve given, if anything, I’ve taken it into consideration too much all the sides of the issue.

And I… I give myself that problem, okay? I see ’em… Uh, sympathetic is not the word, but I acknowledge that my point of view is not the only point of view. I think I’m right, okay? I think I’ve done the reading, the research, the… All of that, to be right. But I also understand it takes time to get there, and that what we need to do is find the places where we overlap. Find the places where we agree, and act on those, then we can actually get things done, okay? So that’s… That’s all I’m looking for. I am looking for leadership, I am looking for getting things done, and I am looking for a good life for the American people. We’ll be back.”
