Anti-enforcement Marxists likely to see another success against cowering GOP majority state legislature

Led by a Mexican citizen, Adelina Nichols, the anti-borders Marxists at the Georgia Latino Alliance for Human Rights (GLAHR) are demanding that Georgia’s governor veto just-passed legislation intended to offer additional protections to law enforcement officers and other first responders for “biased motivated crimes.”

HB 838 was passed as an attempt at saving face and as a distraction for conservative voters by the trembling Republican legislators who voted for passage of a thought crimes bill under pressure from the Chambers of Commerce, the Democrats – including Marxist Black Lives Matter and Antifa rioters who have been terrorizing Americans in Atlanta and around the country for more than a month.

Protections for police was included in the committee process of the hate crimes legislation later passed by the Republicans, but was removed when the GOP majority caved to the Democrats and the BLM rioters.

“We’ve had ongoing discussions with the minority party for the large part of two days and within our own Republican caucus and we’ve reached a compromise that I think everybody will be pleased with,” state Sen. Bill Cowsert (R) said, ABC News reported.

Georgia state Senator Bill Cowsert.

Governor Kemp was quick to sign the hate crimes capitulation legislation and that bill becomes law today.

Below is a Twitter post from GLAHR on the measure designed to protect police:

After reviewing the legislation, the ACLU has noted that it can be interpreted to actually reduce penalties for killing a police officer. The liberal AJC happily wrote that up here.

Note that the GLAHR objection to the poorly crafted bill isn’t that it a poorly crafted bill, but that it is somehow “anti-Black Lives Matter.”

We predict that Kemp will veto this one. We blame massive incompetence.

SCOTUS: Yes, DACA is illegal but we want to leave it in place

“To state it plainly, the Trump administration rescinded DACA the same way that the Obama administration created it: unilaterally, and through a mere memorandum,” he wrote, calling Chief Justice Roberts’ reasoning “mystifying” in finding that what Mr. Obama did is acceptable and what Mr. Trump did is not.” Stephen Dinan in the Washington Times.

The U.S. Supreme Cpurt has ruled that Obama’s DACA amnesty will remain in place. The ruling creates a situation in which a former president, Barack Obama, can illegally create an illegal executive amnesty but the legal system in the fading U.S.A. says the next president will not be allowed to undo the illegal act.

In May, the Center for Immigration Studies pointed out the obvious and what we have been saying for years:” Perhaps even more importantly, a generation still in Central America is waiting in the wings, their parents and grandparents waiting to see what special protections await their children if they bring them over.”

Stephen Dinan wrote it up in the Washington Times. The entire WaPo report should be read here.

Rioters across the United States have waved Mexican flags in various American cities to protest the death of George Floyd, allegedly at the hands of a Minneapolis, Minnesota, police officer.

While rioters waved Mexican flags, American flags were routinely burned at riots in Los Angeles, California, Atlanta, Georgia, Portland, Oregon; and Chicago, Illinois.

Portland: A man brought an American flag to the antifa/BLM protest (later riot). He is confronted & then sucker-punched by a man wearing a “F— Trump” shirt. The mob rushed in to beat him. He never let go of the flag. @PortlandPolice did not help.

Reminder: A whole New DACA Generation Is Waiting in the Wings

Probably a million children soon enough will be seen and heard

Soon, the nation will know the fate of the so-called “Dreamers”, the 800,000 or so recipients of President Barack Obama’s 2012 DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) work-permit program. As my colleague John Miano discussed earlier this month, the U.S. Supreme Court is expected to rule on a legal challenge to President Donald Trump’s revocation of the DACA protections for these hundreds of thousands of illegally present adults who came to the U.S. before age 16.

The DACA generation at issue is all grown now, acculturated to life in America with their DACA work permits and finding fairly broad sympathy, some of it quite bipartisan. About to become front and center again on the national stage are great political, moral, and policy questions as to whether the Dreamers will be cut a special path-to-citizenship break or sent packing to countries some may not remember.

But lost in the discussion of the old DACA generation is the brand new DACA generation, just imported, that almost no one has acknowledged as the spinning political football it is heading fast and hard into Washington. Today’s policy-makers, political candidates, and advocacy groups that don’t appreciate DACA ought to be thinking ahead about what to do about them, while they are still children, if Democrats win power in November. To even start to do that, acknowledgement is the prerequisite.

The mass-migration crisis of 2018-2019, when more than a million mostly Central Americans crashed the southern border, was largely fueled by media-powered mass discovery of the previously obscure “Flores Settlement” loophole, by which adults knew that crossing with at least one child entitled them to be quickly released into the United States, where they could permanently join the nation’s illegal immigrant population.

Children poured in, hundreds of thousands of them. No one seems to have measured the parameters of this next DACA generation. But U.S. Customs and Border Protection apprehension data shows that, at the very least, 722,700 children crossed into the United States in fiscal years 2018, 2019, and through April 2020.

I say “at the very least” because that 722,700 number is the sum of unaccompanied minor aliens sent over the border and family units. CBP defines family units as “the number of individuals (either a child under 18 years old, parent or legal guardian) apprehended with a family member by the U.S. Border Patrol”. I’m only counting one minor per family. So the 722,700 figure would balloon considerably if, say, half of the 622,692 families came in with a second child. Many more came through at ports of entry as “inadmissibles”, for example 53,430 family units in just 2019.

It’s safe to say that the next DACA generation is well over one million.

Disgraced and discredited SPLC hate mongers lobbying against anti-sanctuary legislation in Georgia HB1083

By

SPLC Action Fund logo
 *We note that it seems the Southern Poverty Law Center and it’s lobbyists here in Georgia have copied much of the Dustin Inman Society’s action alert urging law and order Georgians to call key House leaders to urge passage of HB1083. You can see that noon-ish alert here. Too funny. The SPLC alert from this evening pasted below, but we added a link.

 

F**** *****

We urgently need your help today to help defeat an anti-immigrant bill moving through the Georgia House of Representatives.

Republicans in the House are working with several known anti-immigrant hate groups monitored by the SPLC, including the notorious Federation for American Immigration Reform, to push forward an anti-sanctuary policy. The legislation – House Bill 1083 – mandates that counties, cities and towns across Georgia must collude with federal immigration enforcement.

Under this reckless and irresponsible scheme, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) will be able to request that local law enforcement arrest and detain members of our communities solely on the suspicion that they are undocumented. Similar policy in Georgia and other parts of the country has proven ineffective and costly. But the one thing we can be sure of is that H.B. 1083 will allow local law enforcement to detain and lock up immigrants who are vital members of our community.

Will you take a moment now to call key members of the Rules Committee and tell them to kill this dangerous anti-immigrant bill?

Here are their numbers:

Chairman Richard Smith: 404-656-511
Vice-Chairman Matt Hatchett: 404-656-525
Speaker David Ralston: 404-656-500

And here’s a sample script:

Hello, my name is ________ and I’m a resident of ________, Georgia. I’m calling today to ask that Representative ________ kill House Bill 1083. This bill will harm valued immigrant members and families of our Georgia community. These polices are costly and ineffective and will undoubtably hurt our local economy.

Across the state, a coalition of immigrant rights activists are calling on the Rules Committee to ensure we kill this bill.

Join them now by taking a minute to call Chairman Smith (404-)Vice-Chairman Hatchett (404-) and Speaker Ralston (404-656).

With your help, we can stop this unnecessary and hateful bill in its tracks.

Thank you,

From Iran to Atlanta – Azadeh Shahshahani: Shouting down free speech is “solidarity” #ProjectSouth

Readers may remember last week when then Acting United States Secretary of Homeland Security Kevin McAleenan was shouted down at Georgetown University after being invited to be keynote speaker for Georgetown’s 16th annual Immigration, Law, and Policy Conference.  MacAleenan left the stage without being allowed to offer his thoughts on immigration because some students have been taught that the right of free speech only applies to confirmation of the anti-American dogma they have been fed by the haters who run our educational system. CampusReform.org has a write-up and video here.

According to Azadeh Shahshahani, Iranian-born Communist sympathizer who is the Legal and Advocacy Advisor at Atlanta’s Project South Institute to Eliminate Poverty and Genocide, preventing McAleenan from his sharing wrong-thought on immigration and borders “is what solidarity looks like.”

It should be noted that Shahshahani was one of the anti-enforcement panelists selected by Gwinnett County Commissioner Marlene Fosque for a July 31st discussion of the decade-old 287 (g) program in the Gwinnett jail. Along with Adelina Nichols of GLAHR she dropped out at the last minute in an effort to prevent this writer from sharing facts on 287(g). Dropping out of the event did not prevent these radicals from sending in their own hate-trained youth to try to prevent me from speaking with screams and signs inside the auditorium. Photo here. More from the growing file on Shahshahani & Co. here and here.
