D.A. King, 1 April 1952 – 5 March 2025

April 2, 2025 By D.A. King

We are sorry to inform you that D.A. King, President and founder of the Dustin Inman Society, has left us.

Donald (“D.A.”) Arthur King, 1 April 1952 – 5 March 2025.

D.A. King left this life and his work for the nation that he loved, confident that he has done his best. D.A. passed on peacefully after a private battle with cancer.

“Once a Marine, always a Marine” – D.A. was always visibly proud of his service and his honorable discharge from the U.S. Marine Corps (1970-1976).

D.A. described himself as “pro-enforcement” on immigration and borders, an issue on which he dedicated the last 21 years of his life as an expert activist, writer and public speaker.

“Thank you” to Rep Stephen Sainz: New bill (HB 18) to reform the Dual Enrollment scam

February 3, 2025 By D.A. King

Rep. Stephen Sainz

Rep Stephen Sainz (R – St. Mary’s) has introduced HB 18 to reform Georgia’s Dual Enrollment program. It is now in the House Higher Education committee. The corporate-funded illegal alien lobby has already organized and started their campaign to kill the bill.

They have taken the position that ending the current arrangement in which Georgia taxpayers are paying 100% of the tuition, books and fees for illegal aliens still in high school to take collegial classes is somehow “anti-immigrant.” They hope you remain silent.

Pro-enforcement voices are needed now to see Rep Sainz’ bill be approved by the Higher Education committee and then go to the House Rules committee – then for a vote by the entire House.   Pam: Small pic of Rep Martin here

Conservative, pro-enforcement voters can help with a simple “please pass out HB 18” phone call to the office of Rep. Chuck Martin, the chairman of the Higher Ed committee.

  • Rep Martin’s Capitol office phone number is 404-656-5146.

A short, polite call telling the staffer who answers that you are watching HB 18 and expect the Republican-controlled committee to advance the bill will serve to start the process.

Feel free to mention some of the bullet points in the image above.

If you take two minutes to call, you will be helping to exclude the illegals which will make space for thousands of Americans and legally present students to reap the benefits of the Dual Enrollment program.

And I’ll come to your house and wash your car.

DeSantis says “no” to instate tuition for illegal aliens

January 15, 2025 By D.A. King

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.

DeSantis targets Florida’s college tuition break for ‘Dreamers’

TALLAHASSEE, Florida — Florida appears poised to scrap a longstanding tuition discount at state colleges and universities offered to undocumented immigrants, as Gov. Ron DeSantis signaled Monday that he wants the state Legislature to quickly dissolve the policy.

GOP lawmakers, particularly in the state Senate, have already supported the idea, but now it could come to fruition as soon as this month after DeSantis said he would call for a special legislative session to address immigration coinciding with the incoming Trump administration.

Ending Florida’s tuition break for undocumented students would raise the cost of attending college for thousands of students, a move DeSantis claims is necessary because “preferential” treatment encourages illegal immigration.

“No more excuses on this,” DeSantis told reporters Monday. “We need to remove all incentives for them to come here illegally and this is one of them.  (More here).

Dept. of Corrections in violation of illegal immigration law *Updated and corrected

December 31, 2024 By D.A. King

Update: Dec 31, 2024 noon: The Department of Corrections apparently saw the version of the below column that ran on the subscription outlet James Magazine Online yesterday (Dec 30). They have posted a list of prisoners with ICE detainers and labeled it “HB 1105 Quarterly Report December 2014.” It’s a start, but what they have posted is a small part of what the law requires.

Correction: January 1, 2025: The state law requires GDC to post the report cited below on October 1, 2024 – then Dec 1, 2024 and then quarterly thereafter. I am correcting my typo in the below column that reported those dates as 31 October and 31 December. I regret the typos and the errors    dak.

 

Department officials and staff apparently didn’t read the law

Some noteworthy news from Georgia Department of Corrections (GDC) related to the high profile illegal immigration legislation (HB 1105) passed in the 2024 session of the General Assembly: The department is already in violation of one of the laws (see section 7) contained in the fifteen-section measure. Unless they act extremely quickly, Commissioner Tyrone Oliver’s office will be in further violation tomorrow, Dec. 31. 

GDC Commisoner Tyrone Oliver.

Known as “The Georgia Criminal Alien Track and Report Act,” HB 1105 passed into law after Laken Riley was brutally murdered by an illegal alien in February. Sponsored by Rep Jesse Petrea (R- Savannah), the bill contains language that requires various law enforcement agencies to submit reports throughout the year designed to provide the public with detailed, official information that will expose the staggering cost – both monetary and human – of criminal aliens in Georgia.

Here is an easy-to-read general explanation of HB 1105.

The GDC is charged with producing a quarterly, public report to be posted on the department’s website, with the first edition due October 1st, 2024 – three months ago. The second quarterly report is supposed to be posted, Dec 1st.

After scouring the GDC website last week looking for the report and not finding it, I contacted the GDC communications department asking if I had somehow overlooked it or why it was not there. Minutes later I got a call from GDC Manager of Communications, Lori Benoit, who informed me that they would have the report up on March 31st, 2025 – “because that law doesn’t go into effect until January 31st, 2025…” Not true.

The text of HB 1105 has different effective dates than the official GDC spokesperson.

SECTION 14.  “Except as otherwise provided for in subsection (b) of this Section, this Act shall become effective upon approval by the Governor or upon becoming law without such approval. Section 10 of this Act shall become effective on December 31, 2024. “

GDC General Counsel Jennifer Ammons.

It looks like the staff and management at GDC have not read the law. It’s short, so I post it below in its entirety so JMO readers and GDC staff can read it together. Gov Kemp signed the bill into law in May.

Section 7 (OCGA 42-1-11.4): “The commissioner shall, on the official public website used by the department, publish a report of aggregate data on the immigration status, offenses, and home countries of inmates who are confined under the authority of the department who are not citizens of the United States and to whom the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement Division of the Department of Homeland Security has issued immigration detainer notices as such term is defined in Code Section 42-1-11.5. Each report shall include the total number of inmates who are not citizens of the United States; provided, however, that any inmates who are citizens of both the United States and one or more other countries shall be designated as such as a separate category. Such report shall be first published on October 1, 2024, and every 90 days thereafter; provided, however, that if the ninetieth day falls on a state holiday or Saturday or Sunday, then such report shall be published the next business day.” Italics mine.

Assuming GDC eventually creates and posts the mandated report on the number of criminal aliens in our prisons, there will exist an unambiguous method for Georgians to calculate the monetary cost of housing them.

There are a lot of anti-enforcement people both in and out of state government who will be very unhappy that Georgians have access to what is regarded as “too much information.”

 But for a ballpark cost, it is possible to get a preview by using the figures Rep. Petrea obtained from GDC last year in preparation for processing his pro-enforcement legislation.

Last January GDC showed there were 1579 illegal aliens in the prison system with ICE holds (not total illegals). According to online data from GDC the (2021) daily cost per prisoner is $73.79. my math puts the total annual cost to Georgians at over $42 million.

AG Investigation without prosecution? (carve out)

It appears GDC may not have concerns about sanctions for violations. While the legislation – passed to crack down on officials ignoring the laws that were already in place – contains misdemeanor penalties for some violations (including for law enforcement officials), language in HB 1105 authorizes the Attorney General to Investigate and prosecute violations of some of the laws it created– but limits the AG only to investigate failure to compliance with the law GDC has ignored – (see lines 349-342).

We can’t help but wonder if Laken Riley’s family knows about any of this.

Fact checking anti-enforcement Dual Enrollment nonsense

December 7, 2024 By D.A. King

 

 

 

 

 

“…Republicans reduced access for Americans and legal immigrants by including the illegals.”

 

Pyler v Doe Reality

“Although Plyler was a seminal case concerning undocumented students’ access to education, it had several significant shortcomings. Most notably, it applied only to K-12 public education, so federal and state laws that bar undocumented students’ access to postsecondary college education remain in place today.” From the Columbia Law Review, September, 2018.

 

The landmark 1982 Plyer v Doe Supreme Court decision began when a Texas school district tried to exclude illegal aliens from an education by charging tuition in K-12 public schools. Without getting into eye-glazing detail, as referred to above, the decision requires American taxpayers to fund a K-12, public school education regardless of student’s immigration status. School districts cannot ask about immigration status.

Mostly from people who want to continue the lunacy of including illegal aliens in Georgia’s Dual Enrollment (DE) program, we are hearing the ridiculous assertion that the Plyler v Doe SCOTUS ruling somehow prevents excluding illegals from DE “because we can’t ask them about immigration status.” Nonsense.

For one thing, we dont need to ask – merely require that all DE beneficiaries be either U.S. citizens or Lawful Permanent Residents (aka “green card” holders). An application for DE is handled by the Georgia Student Finance Commission. And they make it clear no SSN is required.

According to the Georgia Department of Education “Dual Enrollment is designed to prepare students for college and career opportunities leading students to postsecondary institutions for an industry-recognized certification or licensure, an associate and/or higher college degree, and successful employment.”

  • Related reading from the U.S. Dept. of Education: “School districts may not request information about the citizenship or immigration status of students or their families with the purpose or result of denying them access to educational opportunities.”

Georgia taxpayers are paying 100% of the college tuition — and books and fees for DE recipients – including the illegal aliens. Here, all concerned need to be reminded that illegal aliens are not eligible for employment under federal law. Why are we prepping them for a career?  Is it a nod to an upcoming amnesty attempt?

College classes are not K-12. The very fact that tuition is involved clearly separates Dual Enrollment from K-12. Nothing in Plyler v Doe applies to DE. It’s true that school districts are prohibited from asking K-12 students about their immigration status. But again, it is not necessary to ask about immigration status to keep illegal aliens out of DE – just as Georgia excludes them from the recently instituted K-12 “school choice” benefit (*see line 342 of 2024’s SB 233).

The 2025 state budget has more than $91 million ready to go for the DE program.

In a cost reduction move several years ago, the Republican-ruled General Assembly put a limit on the number of class hours any DE student could take instead of excluding the illegal aliens. Put another way, Republicans reduced access for Americans and legal immigrants by including the illegals.

  • Related reading: Model language for DE reform in Georgia

About 4000 illegal aliens graduate from Georgia high schools each year according to recent figures from the leftist “The Guardian” news outlet.

How many illegal aliens are getting a no-cost college education courtesy of our tax dollars from the DE benefit? Including this writer, for most pro-enforcement conservatives, one is too many. Judging from the absence of loud and fearless pushback on the Dual Enrollment arrangement, that sentiment apparently does not apply to most Republicans.

Nancy Pelosi fact-checked by Washington Post for claim ‘fewer’ migrants crossed the border under Biden

November 15, 2024 By D.A. King

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“…the former House speaker earned “Four Pinocchio’s.”  

Fox News

Nov. 14, 2024

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was fact-checked on Wednesday by The Washington Post for claiming that fewer migrants came into the U.S. under President Biden than under President-elect Trump’s first term.

“I don’t think we were clear enough by saying fewer people came in under President Joe Biden than came under Donald Trump,” Pelosi told The New York Times during a recent interview. “It’s clarity of the message, and if that’s what [Sen.] Bernie’s [Sanders] talking about, and that’s what [Sen.] Joe Manchin’s talking about, we weren’t clear in our message as to what things are, then I agree with that.”

The Washington Post published a fact-check on the claim on Wednesday, and noted that it was “documented fact” that “at least four times as many migrants entered the United States under Biden than under Trump.”

An aide told the outlet that Pelsoi was referring to deportations during the interview and pointed to numbers in a Reuters report, according to the Post.

“It showed that in fiscal year 2024, Biden was on pace to exceed the number of deportations of any single year under Trump. But the article did not say that deportations under Biden would be higher than they were under Trump — far from it. Through four years, Biden almost certainly will have fewer deportations than Trump, according to the Reuters count,” the Post’s report read.

The outlet reported that Pelosi’s claim “veers even more off course” when they dig deeper into the numbers and said the former House speaker earned “Four Pinocchio’s.”

During the same New York Times interview, Pelosi suggested Vice President Kamala Harris might have won if Biden dropped out sooner.    Here.

Priorities: U.S. Veterans vs Illegal Aliens

November 9, 2024 By D.A. King

 

 

 

 

 

  • Unlike American veterans when they apply for medical care at the VA, illegal aliens do not undergo a means test for taxpayer-funded, no-cost care in U.S. emergency rooms.

A version  of the below commentary was originally published in the Washington Times newspaper in 2006 and is republished here with permission. While the income eligibility thresholds have been adjusted since then, VA priorities remain about the same. Readers can see the current requirements for Category 8 g  vets at “VA Priority Groups” on the VA.gov website.

In 1966 my friend Fred was sent to Vietnam and survived a year as a door gunner on a U. S. Army “Huey” helicopter gunship. You won’t hear it from him, so I will tell you that Fred had one of the most dangerous jobs possible in that long ago and divisive war. While Fred’s ship went down more than ten times in action, he came home without a scratch.

Welcome home Fred Dague — and thank you.

Unlike Fred, in 1970, after observing my 18th birthday in Marine Corps boot camp, I was drew duty in sunny southern California.

We both kept our promises to our nation.

Like our fathers, as young recruits, both Fred and I were promised lifetime free medical care by our government as a benefit of our service.

We are learning that this is not our father’s America.

As “50 somethings,” Fred and I have both applied to the Veteran’s Administration for those promised medical benefits.

In 2004, both of our applications for that promised free health care were denied.

The response from the VA reads in part: “Each year, the Secretary of the Department of Veterans Affairs determines which priority groups will be enrolled in the VA health system.  You are not eligible for enrollment or VA health care for most conditions.”

Fred and I have been placed in the “Priority Group 8g, which means that we applied after January 2003, earned over $31,000 last year, and have no service related ailments — thereby disqualifying us for the free medical care we were promised as young men.

PFC D.A. King 1970.

Priority Groups are the result of the federal government’s budgetary shortages. Veterans without service-connected health problems are now held up to a means test to determine eligibility for VA medical benefits. For now, we can both make do without the promised care, but many of the approximately 200,000 other category 8g veterans cannot.

So much for the promise. So much for priorities.

For Fred, myself and the other vets who are denied or offered limited medical care from our government, these priorities are difficult to accept while we watch millions of illegal aliens not only demanding, but receiving taxpayer funded free medical care at American emergency rooms and clinics.

  • Related reading: Illegal Immigrants Leave US Hospitals With Billions In Unpaid Bills

There is no “means test” for the free health care provided for anyone — from anywhere in the world — who can illegally cross our intentionally unsecured borders and get within 250 yards of an American emergency room. It’s the law.

The Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act of 1985 (EMTALA) is a law that is vigorously enforced.

We are taxpayers, Fred and I, so to us, it is a little more than ironic that as veterans, we are paying for health care for millions of illegal aliens while we are not eligible for that same promised free care from our own Veterans Administration.

The Medicare Prescription Drug Modernization Act of 2003 included one billion dollars to help reimburse American hospitals for the federally mandated health care that they must provide to illegal aliens. It included nothing to help Priority Group 8g veterans.

Priorities indeed.

Because illegals and their criminal employers seem to have a better lobby than American vets in Washington, our nation is keeping the promise to the illegal aliens.

The same people who have decided which promises to keep have also made a decision on which of our laws are enforced. Not that anyone asked, but if it is a matter of priorities, in our own search for a better life, Fred and I would much rather see the laws that apply to border security and illegal immigration enforced and the VA Priority Groups ignored.

If it is a matter of priorities.

Defamation: Dustin Inman Society demands correction and apology from the Atlanta Journal Constitution

‘DEFAMATORY’: Conservative Demands Swing-State Newspaper Retract ‘Hate Group’ Smear

 

From the Daily Signal

Tyler O’Neil

October 22, 2024

D.A. King, an immigration enforcement activist whose defamation lawsuit against the Southern Poverty Law Center is proceeding in court, sent a legal demand letter to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, requesting a correction when the newspaper called his organization an “anti-immigration hate group.”

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, the paper of record in and around Georgia’s capital city, mentioned King’s group, the Dustin Inman Society, as an aside in an Oct. 7 article about Katy Stamper, who won the Democratic primary in Georgia’s 11th Congressional District. Democrats now support a write-in candidate, claiming Stamper won the primary on false pretenses.

“A search of activity under her birth name, Karen Sacandy, which Stamper legally changed in 2019, showed that she previously was aligned with a Marietta-based anti-immigration hate group,” The Journal-Constitution’s Washington correspondent, Tia Mitchell, wrote. Mitchell went on to include links to the Dustin Inman Society’s website, without mentioning the society or explaining why the paper characterized it as an “anti-immigration hate group.”

The Daily Signal depends on the support of readers like you. Donate nowfreestar

The Dustin Inman Society, which advocates enforcing immigration law and combats illegal immigration, has three legal immigrants on its board of advisors: Mary Grabar (from Slovenia); Maria Litland (from Austria); and Sabine Durden-Coulter (from Germany). The society takes its name from a 16-year-old Georgia boy killed in a 2000 car crash caused by an illegal immigrant.

“This smear is an ongoing and retaliatory habit for the staff at the AJC,” King told The Daily Signal in a written statement Friday. “They know it’s false and have had to run corrections many times over the years telling readers that we are aimed at illegal immigration and are not somehow ‘anti-immigration.’”

Where Did AJC Get the Idea?

King is already fighting to restore his reputation in court after one left-leaning organization, the Southern Poverty Law Center, branded the Dustin Inman Society a “hate group.”

The SPLC, which routinely brands mainstream conservative and Christian organizations “hate groups” and puts them on a map with chapters of the Ku Klux Klan, branded the society an “anti-immigrant hate group” in 2018. Yet back in 2011, the SPLC told The Associated Press that it didn’t consider the society a “hate group.”

The Southern Poverty Law Center, which advocates lessening immigration restrictions, registered a lobbyist to oppose a bill the society supported. The SPLC marked the society as a “hate group” around the same time.

King sued the SPLC for defamation, and a federal judge allowed the lawsuit to move to the discovery process.

As I explain in my book “Making Hate Pay: The Corruption of the Southern Poverty Law Center,” a terrorist used the organization’s “hate map” to attack a conservative Christian nonprofit in Washington, D.C., in 2012, and a former SPLC staffer called the “hate” accusations a “highly profitable scam.” Many defamation lawsuits against the SPLC have failed, however, in part because few plaintiffs before King could prove that the organization had reason to suspect the “hate group” label was false.

 

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution didn’t cite the SPLC in its attack on the Dustin Inman Society, and it didn’t respond to The Daily Signal’s request for comment for this story.

In Competition With the SPLC?

King told The Daily Signal that the newspaper is echoing the Southern Poverty Law Center’s attack but setting itself up as a separate arbiter of “hate.”

“Since we began our battle against illegal immigration here in 2005, the AJC has migrated from merely being biased, liberal and agenda-driven to blooming into apparent competition with the despicable SPLC,” he said. “They have now apparently taken it upon themselves to bypass the leftist establishment smear artists and classify pro-enforcement political opponents who talk back as operating an ‘anti-immigration hate group’ themselves—including those who are immigrants.”

King said the newspaper was engaging in a double standard: condemning his organization as a “hate group” while celebrating those on the Left who advocate amnesty for illegal aliens. He cited the Georgia Association of Elected Officials, which goes by the acronym GALEO and describes itself as focusing “on increasing civic participation of the Latinx community and developing prominent Latino leaders throughout Georgia.”

“In the meantime,” King said of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, “they label anti-enforcement, far-left groups such as the notorious GALEO that publicly protest against immigration enforcement as ‘civil rights groups.’”

King also noted that the AJC paid to sponsor the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund gala in 2004. Mario Obledo, MALDEF’s co-founder, had suggested that non-Hispanic, white California residents should move “back to Europe.”

When then-President Bill Clinton gave Obledo the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1998, a man in the audience asked, “You also made the statement that California is going to become a Hispanic state and if anyone doesn’t like it they should leave. Did you say that?”

“I did,” Obledo replied. “They ought to go back to Europe.”

“The AJC has promoted open borders and helped this far-left, anti-borders group with fundraising,” King told The Daily Signal. “Just because MALDEF founder Mario Obledo called for Americans who didn’t agree with his plan for California and saying those who didn’t ‘ought to go back to Europe’ didn’t stop AJC from serving as ‘dinner chair’ for a MALDEF funder gala here.”… please read the entire article here.

Illegal Immigration Could Cost Taxpayers $2 Trillion in Medicare Spending

October 8, 2024 By D.A. King

 

Illegal immigration will cost taxpayers $2 trillion in Medicare spending in a Kamala Harris Medicare for All system, according to a Tholos Foundation study published Tuesday.

The study discusses the immense strain Harris’s amnesty plan would put on the Medicare system; specifically, under her own Medicare for All proposal.

While Vice President Kamala Harris may pretend she doesn’t support Medicare for All, ATR has compiled several of her passionate statements in support:

Harris was the first Senator to co-sponsor Senator Bernie Sanders’ Medicare for All bill. Their proposal goes even further left than most foreign versions of socialized medicine. Canada, for example, has about 30 percent of its healthcare spending coming from the private insurance market. The Sanders-Harris proposal would have none. Harris was clearly passionate about the plan, as she personally authored her own Medicare for All plan during her own presidential run in 2020.

Further, both Harris and VP candidate Tim Walz have come out in support of a pathway to citizenship for the 11 to 12.5 million illegal immigrants (Note:  It is our educated opinion that the number of illegal aliens now in the United States exceeds 25 million – D.A. King) now residing in the U.S.

Given the ensuing insolvency of Medicare by 2036, these contentious proposals could prove disastrous, especially if both are accomplished under a Harris-Walz administration.

As the study explains, an estimated 90 percent of illegal immigrants are under 55, meaning that under our current Medicare system, amnesty would significantly increase those covered, costing $163,650 per person over 10 years. In this way, the sum cost of every illegal alien’s first 10 years receiving benefits would be $1.8 trillion.

Additionally, under Medicare for All, amnesty would cost an additional $2 trillion over just the next 10 years. The cost of socialized healthcare is an unimaginable strain, given that the United States is on the brink of a fiscal crisis. The national debt is over $35 trillion, and the U.S. government is on track to spend over $1 trillion on interest payments by the end of this month.

Under Medicare for All, Americans Would Pay an Additional $14.3 Trillion in Taxes

Taxpayers would be on the hook for the additional costs of amnesty. The Medicare for All plan Kamala Harris endorsed as a Senator would increase taxes by $14.3 trillion over the next decade, roughly $26,000 per household per year. This would pay for a fraction of the $44 trillion cost of single payer healthcare.

By Senator Sanders’ own admission, Americans making more than $29,000 per year would pay more in taxes under Medicare For All. Of course, this would violate Kamala Harris’s pledge to not raise any tax on anyone earning less than $400,000.

The list of proposed tax hikes in the Sanders-Harris plan are unfathomable. They include a new 4 percent employee payroll tax, a new 7 percent employer payroll tax, the elimination of health tax expenditures, the elimination of HSAs, a 70 percent top tax bracket for ordinary income/capital gains, a 77 percent death tax, and many more.

Medicare for All Risks Bankrupting the Country if Substantive Policy Reforms are Not Adopted

The Tholos Foundation also cites potential reforms to address immigration, Medicare, and fiscal issues. For example, implementing “a strong federal spending limit, capping annual spending growth at a maximum rate of population growth plus inflation, similar to Colorado’s Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights (TABOR).”

The study also discusses potential work requirements and block grants for social programs:

“Expanding work requirements and block grants to states for government social programs, like Medicaid, would better ensure that native-born and foreign-born recipients contribute economically. Implementing work requirements for these programs would support increased self-sufficiency and reduce dependency on taxpayer-funded programs.”

In addition to visa auction and market-driven immigration reform, the paper discusses the importance of the rule of law and enforcing the border policies we have in place:

“… the economic benefits of immigration must be balanced against the short-term costs and the rule of law. The U.S. is a sovereign country with borders and legal processes for entry and citizenship. While immigration can support more economic growth, it is essential to maintain the integrity of the legal system and avoid incentivizing illegal entry, which undermines the rule of law and imposes costs on taxpayers.”

As Milton Friedman once said, “You cannot simultaneously have free immigration and a welfare state.”

Both Medicare for All and amnesty would cost taxpayers trillions of dollars. Together, the costs would be devastating – accelerating the Medicare system into ruin. While we must resist these efforts, it is imperative that we implement reforms with sustainable budgets and rule of law in mind.
