Illegal Alien Lobby

Georgia’s Corporate-funded Illegal Alien Lobby

The above is taken from a March, 2024 media release from a coalition of corporate-funded Georgia groups opposed to immigration enforcement – specifically 2024’s HB 1105.

 

This page under construction, but the first thing to remember is that whether you call them the “illegal alien lobby”, “the anti-borders lobby”, “the anti-enforcement mob” or simply the un-American “crazies”, most of them are funded by corporate America. For the notorious, far-left *GALEO Inc, that statement includes The Coca-Cola Company, Southwest Airlines, Atlanta, Univision 34 Atlanta, Georgia Power, Cox Enterprises, Inc. (yes, that Cox Enterprises, the owners of the AJC and WSB-TV and radio news outlets), American Federation of Teachers, Briarcliff Pediatrics, Kuck Immigration Partners LLC. See also: Many Georgia elected officials, not all of whom are Democrats. See here for a look.

*For readers who are to familiar with GALEO Inc, here is a Beginners Guide created when former President Obama nominated a GALEO board member to a lifetime position as a federal judge in Georgia. The campaign to expose GALEO and Dax Lopez, the nominee, was successful. Thanks to public outrage and the courage of Senator David Perdue, the nomination was stopped in the U.S.Senate Judiciary Committee. We weren’t the only pro-enforcement conservatives to thank Senator David Perdue.

ILLEGAL ALIENS ARE NOT IMMIGRANTS – IMMIGRANTS DO NOT REQUIRE AMNESTY – IMMIGRANTS HAVE GREEN CARDS

Another important thing to know is that the illegal aliens lobby intentionally smears real immigrants by blurring the line between them and illegal aliens. The trick is that the dimmest among us (and the willing media, like the Associated Press and the Atlanta Journal-Constitution newspaper – and most TV stations – will not recognize the “illegal” part. immigrants are legal, have green cards and are already on a path to citizenship.

 

 

 

Fast Fact: Temporary drivers license for foreign nationals “proper ID” at Georgia polls #DDS #LimitedTerm

Temporary drivers license issued to non-citizens is “proper ID” at Georgia polls.

This seems far, far away from “voter suppression.” The driver’s license Georgia issues to non-citizens – including illegal aliens who have already been ordered deported – is acceptable and “proper identification” when casting a ballot.

This, according to multiple staffers at the main office of the Cobb Board of Elections and Registration office in Marietta when asked multiple times by this early voter last week. To get an answer I had to explain what a limited term license is.

For those who are not well versed in the topic, the driver’s license DDS issues to foreigners is labeled “LIMITED TERM” across the top, which is the only difference between it and a U.S. citizen’s driver’s license.

The acceptance appears to be in compliance with Georgia law (OCGA 21-2-417) which merely says “proper identification shall consist of any one of the following: A Georgia driver’s license which was properly issued by the appropriate state agency;…”

This brings to mind the several attempts in the last few years under the Gold Dome to clarify the limitations of the limited term driver’s license, which, generally, is supposed to be valid for the period of an alien’s visa.

In the 2017 General Assembly, House Rep Alan Powell introduced a bill to add “INELIGIBLE VOTER” – which was a compromise to his original language, which would have added the term “NON CITIZEN” to the non-citizens driver’s license. Powell came under heavy fire from the illegal alien lobby and his attempt at driver’s license/voter ID reform died.

More than 20,000 aliens who have received a deferral in deportation proceedings or who have already been ordered deported also hold the same limited term license according to information from DDS early this year.

In 2016, the state senate passed a bill sponsored by Senator Josh McKoon that would have marked the limited term driver’s license held by this group with “NO LAWFUL STATUS.”

McKoon contended his bill would help prevent voter fraud and terrorism. The driving and ID credentials are also accepted as ID to enter federal buildings and to board airliners in America’s airports. Including the Georgia Association of Latino Elected Officials (GALEO), corporate -funded opponents argued such reform would “stigmatize” people and represented a ‘Scarlett Letter’ for “immigrants.” The legislation died in the House.

For this writer, the lunacy that a driver’s license designed and intended for foreign nationals is accepted as valid ID to vote in Georgia is surpassed by the fact that literally no official I have ever spoken to at my Cobb polling place over the years – supervisors included – had ever even heard of a “limited term” driver’s license.

For a memorable first-hand education, readers may want to ask about this when they vote.
