Brian Kemp as quoted by 11 Alive news and delivered here today by Georgia pundit.
[Discussing HB 1105, “The Georgia Criminal Alien Track and Report Act of 2024”:]
“This is a state of almost 11 million people,” he said. “And I think people were outraged, and I was too about the whole Laken Riley tragic murder that we saw and somebody that had broken into this country illegally and had been apprehended two different times and was still here, you know, and we didn’t even know he was here.”
Kemp said they talked to municipalities, sheriff’s offices, and others about the bill.
“I think at the end of the day; we got a good piece of legislation that will help with the issue here, to make sure when somebody gets arrested that we’re, you know, checking to make sure that they’re here legally.”
