Retired senior immigration enforcement agent Bob Trent copied us on a note he sent to GA07 GOP runoff candidate Mark Gonsalves. We post it below. Thanks, Bob! Note to readers: We think Bob was too modest. Bob Trent is a combat Marine, a former Border Patrol Agent who worked on both the northern and southern borders, Senior Special Agent in the INS and retired as the Assistant Director for Enforcement Training at the U.S. Immigration Officers Academy, Federal Law Enforcement Training Center, Glynco, GA.

In his email he reminded all concerned that “at a time when the Biden administration is operating the worlds largest alien smuggling operation the very last thing we need is to concede and provide amnesty.”

Below is a screenshot reminder from Michael Corbin on Twitter (@Corbin4Congress) carefully confirming his position on illegal aliens last week (most educated estimates put the number of illegal aliens in Georgia below 400k) – we hear Corbin told the Fulton Co. Republicans that he is no longer in favor of amnesty at their breakfast meeting today. We think Corbin’s positions fully depend on what room he is in.

Race baiting Republican candidate in the GA07 runoff #MichaelCorbin

Update: Pro-enforcement candidate Mark Gonsalves defeated Michael Corbin in a landslide.

Video included

We are getting contacts from Republicans in Georgia’s 7th District about one of the candidates in the GOP runoff. We hope it’s not what it looks like, because it looks a lot like race baiting.

The two Republicans in the runoff are Michael Corbin and Mark Gonsalves. GA07 includes part of metro-Atlanta’s Gwinnett County.

Corbin has an interesting but confusing entry open his “About me” page on his campaign website apparently not about race, or something:

“As a loving husband of someone of color and having multicultural children. I don’t see race; I see the woman and children that I love, not color.”

Oh.

While I haven’t seen his Facebook page, Republican candidate Michael Corbin also  has a Twitter post about “racism” and says his opponent has “announced support for books with caricatures of African Americans as monkeys…”

Mark Gonsalves, who I have known and respected for years, sent over a couple of photos of the book in question that was apparently marketed at a Gwinnett GOP meeting.

The book is an obvious parody of Dr. Suess’ Cat in the Hat yarn for children.

“Corbin called me a racist on Social Media over the book he took acceptation to. (He) Thought the caricature was Obama as a Monkey, when it’s very clear it’s a Cat! Cat in the Hat takeoff ” says Gonsalves.

More on candidate Michael Corbin

Sure enough, Corbin’s campaign Twitter account has the below post. We are going to check into this further. So far, Corbin sounds like a Democrat to us.

Foreign-Born Population Hit Record 47 Million in April 2022

By

Center for Immigration Studies

June 1, 2022

Increased two million since January 2021, driven largely by illegal immigratio

By Steven A. Camarota and Karen Zeigler on June 1, 2022

An analysis of the Census Bureau’s monthly Current Population Survey (CPS) shows that the total foreign-born population (legal and illegal) in the U.S. hit 47 million in April of 2022 — a record high in American history. The foreign-born population includes all persons who are not U.S. citizens at birth. The size and growth of the foreign-born population in the CPS are important because, unlike arrival figures for legal immigrants or border apprehensions, the CPS measures the total number of legal and illegal immigrants actually living in the country, which is what ultimately determines immigration’s impact on American society.

There is a good deal of variation month-to-month in the data, but the two million increase in the foreign-born population since President Biden took office last January is both large and statistically significant. The dramatic growth is also quite striking because for the foreign-born population to grow at all, new arrivals must exceed both emigration and deaths, as all births to immigrants in the U.S., by definition, add only to the native-born population.

  • The 47 million foreign-born residents (legal and illegal) in the country in April of 2022 is the largest number ever recorded in any U.S. government survey or decennial census.
  • The total foreign-born population (legal and illegal) increased by two million in the first 16 months of the Biden administration — January 2021 to April 2022 — twice as fast as the U.S.-born population grew.
  • We preliminarily estimate that illegal immigrants accounted for two-thirds of the growth in the foreign-born population since January 2021 — 1.35 million.
  • Taking a longer view, since 2000, the total foreign-born population has grown by 50 percent; it’s doubled since 1990, tripled since 1980, and quintupled since 1970.
  • As a share of the total population, the foreign-born now account for 14.3 percent of the population, or one in seven U.S. residents — the highest percentage in 112 years. As recently as 1990 they were one in 13 U.S. residents.
  • If present trends continue, the foreign-born share of the population will reach 14.9 percent of the U.S. population in September 2023, higher than at any time in the nation’s 246-year history.
  • On average the foreign-born population has grown by 132,000 a month since President Biden took office, compared to 59,000 per month in Obama’s first term, 76,000 per month in Obama’s second term, and 42,000 per month under Trump before Covid-19 hit.
  • While much of the recent increase in the total foreign-born population is due to illegal immigration, those in the country legally still account for three-fourths of all foreign-born residents.
  • The states with the largest increase in the total foreign-born population from January 2021 to April 2022 are California (up 527,000), Florida (up 390,000), Pennsylvania (up 375,000), Michigan (up 247,000), Georgia (up 152,000), Arizona (up 148,000), New York (up 145,000), Tennessee (up 130,000), and South Carolina (up 128,000).

Introduction

This analysis is based on the Current Population Survey (CPS), sometimes referred to as the “household survey”, collected each month by the Census Bureau for the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). We use the terms “immigrant” and “foreign-born” interchangeably in this report.1 The foreign-born or immigrant population in Census Bureau data includes all persons who were not U.S. citizens at birth — mainly naturalized citizens, lawful permanent residents, long-term temporary visitors, and illegal immigrants. The CPS shows a dramatic rebound in the foreign-born population after declining in the latter half of 2019 and then a dramatic fall-off in 2020 due to Covid-19 travel restrictions. While the CPS is a very large survey of about 130,000 individuals, the total foreign-born population in the monthly data still has a margin of error of about ±500,000 using a 90 percent confidence level. This means there is a good deal of fluctuation from month to month in the size of this population, making it necessary to compare longer periods of time when trying to determine trends.2

Republican Rep Bonnie Rich loses primary race in Gwinnett County – opposed voter security measure, HB 228

By

Rep Bonnie Rich. Photo: Tn Star

Noting foreign status on drivers licenses and official ID would be a “scarlet letter…”

Rep Bonnie Rich has lost the race in the Republican Primary for the newly redrawn House District 100 seat. Rich, chairwoman of the House Republican Caucus, has represented House District 97 for the last four legislative sessions was beaten by state Rep. David Clark who is the (pre-redistricting) House District 98 representative.

A carefully protected favorite of Speaker David Ralston, Rep Rich is best known to pro-enforcement advocates as the lead opposition to HB 228 sponsored by Cherokee County Rep Charlice Byrd.

HB 228 was a simple, “belt and suspenders” bill that addresses voter ID security and the drivers licenses and ID Cards Georgia issues to foreigners here as immigrants, guest workers, foreign students – and about twenty thousand illegal aliens with DACA protection. These credentials are labeled “LIMITED TERM” and almost exactly the same as the ones commonly issued to U.S. citizens. Not many people, including most legislators, have any clue what “LIMITED TERM” means. Explanation: the valid term of the credential is timed to expire when the holders visa or “green card” runs out or renews.

HB 228 also addressed  the startling fact that there is nothing in state law that says these ID documents are excluded from acceptance as “proper identification” for voting purposes.

HB 228 also required the warning “BEARER NOT U.S. CITIZEN – NOT VOTER ID” to be added to the front of the LIMITED TERM credentials. Also, as mail-in vote security, the Department of Driver Services would begin a system in which the first two characters of the drivers license/ID Card numbers be “NC” on the cards issued to non-citizens. We would catch up with Alabama on that one.

“Limited Term” GA. drivers license issued to foreign nationals.

HB 228 died without a 2022 hearing or committee vote. In the process of killing the measure, the members of the House Special Committee on Election Integrity revealed a troubling lack of knowledge on the identity credentials Georgia issues and related immigration basics. Rich criticized the bill with the explanation that noting foreign status on ID credentials would be a “scarlet letter” for immigrants.

Rep Clark may present problems for pro-enforcement Georgians. He introduced a bill (HB 920) in the 2019-2020 session that would have allowed illegal aliens to access instate tuition in Georgia’s public colleges. Clark’s bill was not limited to illegal aliens with DACA status. We will watch to see if Clark, a member of the Georgia “Freedom Caucus,” submits similar legislation in the coming 2023-2024 legislative session.

Rich was endorsed in the race by House Speaker Pro Tempore Jan Jones (R), the second highest ranking member of the Georgia House.

*Updated 26 May with a blurb from the liberal AJC:

Ralston nemesis ousts colleague, but most lawmakers cruise in primary

“Buford state Rep. David Clark has been a pain in House Speaker David Ralston’s backside in recent years, and Tuesday he delivered another blow.

Clark ousted Rep. Bonnie Rich, R-Suwanee, in the Republican primary for the newly drawn House District 100 in Gwinnett, Forsyth and Hall counties. Rich chaired the House Redistricting Committee that drew the district maps.

Most incumbents cruised to easy wins on Tuesday in the new districts, which were drawn last year in such a partisan way that the candidate who wins the primary will likely win in the November general election as well.” Here.

“H2A is a very good program if you can afford it. This- the federal government says that the minimum wage for a H2A worker is $9.11 and you provide transportation and you provide housing and you cover all the visa costs. It ends up costing you about $13.50 per employee per hour for those operations. If we could all drive Cadillacs it’d be great, but everyone can’t drive a Cadillac. Some people can, others can’t. So we don’t need a Cadillac system and, and that’s what the, the H2A system is a Cadillac system.” Bryan Tolar to the Georgia House Judiciary Committee (non-civil), Feb. 2011

Bryan Tolar was president of Georgia Agribusiness Council in 2011 when HB 87 was going through the committee process and eventually passed and was signed into law in Georgia. Georgia has two E-Verify laws. One for private employers and one for public contractors and taxpayer-funded entities like cities, counties and other offices, including state agencies. Neither law is enforced. We challenge anyone to produce evidence of any sanction for violation.

Cost to me: $16.10

BigAg lobbyist Bryan Tolar (00:01)
This is a very delicate issue for agriculture because being the largest industry and representing, uh, economic impact in all 159 counties, we have a lot at stake in this. We are in the midst of trying to grow our industry in several ways. One of which, and we’ve heard the, the governor talk about it and many of you have probably weighed in on it, the expansion of the port in Savannah. We want those large container ships to come to Georgia to carry agricultural products out, not bring agricultural products in. And the system that we have in place now with the, with the technology that’s in place, with the natural resources that are abundant to our great state, we are poised to grow this industry because commodity prices have finally reached a point where people are sta- talking about what do I have to plant to make a profit, but what can I plant so I can make the most profit.

BigAg lobbyist Bryan Tolar (00:51)
And when we look at that, we need to have a labor force to be able to harvest that product. And we want, obviously, want to utilize and do utilize a legal workforce. The federal government puts in place a pa- the parameters for hiring a legal workforce. If we have employers now, whether they’re agricultural or otherwise, that are not completing the I-9, then they’re already in violation of federal law. We can’t help them, this bill can’t help them, I’m not going to try to help them. But when we look at the e-verify portion, that really is the part of the bill that gives us the, the most challenge. And I, I, I- you’ve heard from others and there’s, there’s certainly different parts to give people challenges of their own. But for ours, it’s, it’s the e-verify requirement and I, and I apologize, I have not seen the latest draft to know where we are on the e-verify part, so, um, I’ll, I’ll wait to get details on that later.

BigAg lobbyist Bryan Tolar (01:35)
But if we require the e-verify, then we are putting another layer of government on an already challenged workforce that’s out there for agricultural production. And I’m talking getting your hands dirty workforce. Um, um, very difficult to find those workers no matter where you are. And over two-thirds of our counties, agriculture’s either the number one or the number two industry in those counties. So we’re not talking about small, small beans here. We’re talking about real economic impact. So as we move forward, we need to see- and it is a federal issue. I know you’ve heard that time and time again, it is a federal issue. And Representative Franklin, I’ll, I’ll say that- and I heard your comment earlier about the constitution that we don’t have any Georgia citizens, they are also US citizens. And so we have to operate- ’cause the US is the one that provides us- federal government provides us the visas that we need to get those workers in a guest worker program to pr- to get those citizenship papers so that we can have those legal citizens here.

BigAg lobbyist Bryan Tolar (02:26)
And that’s what, that’s what we’re trying to comply with. We’re trying to comply with a federal system that also provides a federal outlet through visa programs through H2A, which many of you may be familiar with, and H2B and I’ll touch on them very quickly. H2A is a very good program if you can afford it. This- the federal government says that the minimum wage for a H2A worker is $9.11 and you provide transportation and you provide housing and you cover all the visa costs. It ends up costing you about $13.50 per employee per hour for those operations. If we could all drive Cadillacs it’d be great, but everyone can’t drive a Cadillac. Some people can, others can’t. So we don’t need a Cadillac system and, and that’s what the, the H2A system is a Cadillac system. Now let’s talk about H2B. That’s really where we get to our landscape workers, our urban agriculture, the environment we’re in right now.

BigAg lobbyist Bryan Tolar: (03:15)
That is- that program is capped by the federal government was capped in 1990 with 66,000 visas nationwide. In 2004, we reached the cap of that. We can’t expand it. The state of Georgia can’t expand that cap. All we can do is apply for it and hope like heck that we get the workers, ’cause if we don’t, you’re out of business. And if we’re out of business, if we take a $68.8 billion industry and we take a just a 10% hit, we’re talking almost a $7 billion hit to Georgia’s economy. And that’s real. And when those- whe- and when those farming operations and when those landscapers, when they go away, they don’t come back, especially in rural Georgia. It’s that much more difficult if you’re trying to harvest a crop or if you’re trying to milk a cow or you’re trying to care for chickens, it’s a very diverse industry, it’s a very complex industry. This problem is a, is a very complex problem and it requires a federal solution.

BigAg lobbyist Bryan Tolar: (04:08)
But we understand immigration reform needs to happen and we understand there are things the state of Georgia can do and we recognize that this legislation carries a lot of different components in it that will serve the state of Georgia and will serve the state of Georgia well. But, but we take the biggest challenge in this legislation is with the e-verify part and mandating that on private employers. And at that point, Ms. Chairman, I’ll take any questions.

Committee Chairman: (04:29)
Let me, uh, let me ask you a, a question that warrants a probably a 10 to 15 minute answer about-

Committee Chairman: (04:36)
[crosstalk 00:04:36] Okay, well I won’t do that.

Committee Chairman: (04:37)
But I’m going to ask you to do it in 30 seconds.

Committee Chairman: (04:37)
Okay.

Committee Chairman: (04:38)
Very reasonably, I think.

Big Ag lobbyist Bryan Tolar: (04:39)
Yes, sir.

Committee Chairman: (04:42)
W- where’s the line? Where’s the line between those folks in the agricultural community who this perhaps not as big a deal and where- with the folks that where it is? In other words, where is that line of the, you know, where compliance with, uh, with H2A and e-verify and everything that you talked about, what’s the comfort level? And I understand that’s something of a subjective determination and, you know, in our minds we take an oath to support and defend and protect the law.

Big Ag lobbyist Bryan Tolar: (05:12)
Yes, sir.

Committee Chairman: (05:13)
Um, and we all take it seriously. I’m a little concerned about the fact that what I’m hearing is a message from you that says, “Well, we should enforce the law and protect the law and adhere to it, but only if we can afford it.” And that’s what I think I’m hearing. Tell me if I’m hearing something differently. And then tell me about who is it in your mind, just from your industry, intra-industry, where- who, who can afford it and who can’t. And the size of that operation.

Big Ag lobbyist Bryan Tolar: (05:54)
Okay.

Committee Chairman: (05:54)
Talk about the law first and how it is- I mean, that’s the message that I just heard and I want to make sure that I didn’t hear it wrong.

Big Ag lobbyist Bryan Tolar: (05:59)
That’s actually a, a 30 minute answer so I’ll, I’ll do my best. Um-

Big Ag lobbyist Bryan Tolar: (06:02)
I warned you (laughs).

Big Ag lobbyist Bryan Tolar: (06:04)
With regard to, to who can and who can’t take advantage of the H2A program because it is an expensive program, uh, the answer is it depends. It depends on what your commodity is, it depends on your locale for where your market is. Um, and I know that’s, that’s a lawyer type answer. I think I’ll say it depends a lot too. Um, but it- there is no, there is no simple answer and it’s because the industry is not simple. The solution is not simple. And it’s not a matter of drawing a line and saying, “Well, if we get above this point or we’re below this point, then, then we’re in

 

 

 

 

Buzz Brockway, lobbyist – SB 45, 2021/2022 – (video): Gutting occupational licensing security

By

RE: OCGA 50-36-1

Buzz Brockway lobbies for changes in occupational licensing, House version of SB 45, 2021/2022 session.

As passed the senate bill here. Note line 49. We pushed hard for that addition. The fifty-seven page House version (that did not pass and did not see a vote) was changed into an unrecognizable dumping ground, wish list for the dismantling of the verification system in place to keep illegal aliens out of the occupational licensing process. That complete rewrite was done in the House Regulated Industries committee chaired by Rep Alan Powell.

Brockway is not what a lot of kindly but naive people think he is. Alan Powell does not enjoy that confusion.

Our goal for the last nineteen years has been to make Georgia as difficult and inhospitable for  illegal immigration as possible.

That is not Brockway’s mission. Or Powell’s.

Anything for a buck.

“Conservative groups,” Frontline Policy Action and the con on “school choice!” in the 2022 GA General Assembly

Illegal immigration in Georgia: Beware the BF from trusted “conservative groups” on “school choice!”

We passed on some important facts on the “school choice!” hustle in the 2022 legislative session. We are happy that the excessive exposure to the facts helped kill three separate bills aimed at providing taxpayer funded private school scholarships to relatively few K-12 students in Georgia – including illegal aliens. The bills were HB 60, – HB 999 and SB 601. All of them were derived from model legislation provided by and pushed by an organization called American Federation for Children. The bills would have given the taxpayer funded money to a small fraction of the total K-12 student body in the state.

None of that model legislation contained any prohibition or device to stop the scholarships from going to illegal alien families.

One more time: Illegal aliens would have been included in the benefits while many American students and families would have been excluded because of limited funding that was subject to appropriati0ns.

I take the time to type this all again so that nobody forgets the corporate-funded “conservative” groups (hello, Buzz Brockway at the Georgia Center for Opportunity) that pushed these bills and lobbied so hard under the Gold Dome and the fact that they all withheld the whole truth from trusting voters.

I’ll add to this post when I get time to include a list of names but today we focus on ‘Frontline Policy Action’ run by Cole Muzio.

On the “who we are” page Frontline Policy Action describes their effort as “a state-focused, biblical organization that could tactfully address issues of life, religious freedom, educational opportunity, God’s design, human dignity, free speech, and principled government.”

Indeed.

Muzio still has the call to action on the Frontline website. In it he is telling people that the last “school choice!” bill to fail, SB 601, would have increased “educational opportunities for the vast majority of school children in the state…”

As gently as I can say it: Bull Feathers! This is simply not true. Again, the bills would have applied to a small fraction of K-12 students.

Florida Gov Ron DeSantis wants to know cost to taxpayers of medical care for illegal aliens

Florida hospitals have until May 23 to turn over the information to the Agency for Health Care Administration

How many Georgia hospitals have closed because of the cost of providing no-cost services to “undocumented workers?”

FloridaPolitics.com

May 5, 2022

Gov. Ron DeSantis is calling on Florida’s hospitals to compile information on how much money they are spending to treat immigrants who have entered the country illegally.

Agency for Health Care Administration Secretary Simone Marstiller sent a letter on Thursday to Florida Hospital Association President and CEO Mary Mayhewpointing out that regulators earlier this week asked all licensed hospitals to figure all costs and expenditures and “report any uncollected debt calculations related to the health care of illegal aliens.”

Marstiller said AHCA was undertaking the effort to comply with an executive order from DeSantis from last September that asked the agency to find out the amount of taxpayer money spent on “illegal aliens in the state of Florida.”

Below we again remind voters of the campaign promises made by “I got a big truck” Kemp in 2018.

 

Pro-enforcement voices prevail on immigration-related legislation under the Gold Dome in 2022 #HB932 #HB120

  • Big money lobby vows to try again next year on “Americans last” bills in Georgia

  • FWD.us “Immigration Director” in Georgia is an illegal alien – Refugee Services Coalition co-chair has powerful business partners, but pro-enforcement Americans prevail in Georgia 

 

Pro-American Georgians were successful in preventing the passage of several bills aimed at putting illegal aliens and refugees ahead of Americans in the 2022 session. We are proud to have provided information that resulted in the demise of the various bills. But nobody should relax. The corporate-funded “foreigners first” lobby has already made it clear that they will try again next year. We may start an informal pool on guesses for names of likely Republican sponsors.

Biden Released 756K Border Crossers, Population Larger than Boston, into American Communities Since Taking Office: Court brief

By

Getty Images.

Biden officials admit they expect up to half a million border crossers and illegal aliens — the equivalent of Atlanta, Georgia’s, resident population — to arrive at the border every month.

Breitbart News

John Binder

16 April 2022

President Joe Biden’s administration has released more than 750,000 border crossers and illegal aliens, a foreign population larger than the population of Boston, Massachusetts, into the United States since taking office in January 2021, a court brief confirms.

The brief, dated April 14 and filed in the Supreme Court by Stephen Miller’s America First Legal Foundation, details the extent to which Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has put its Catch and Release network into overdrive in just a little over 12 months.

Specifically, DHS has released more than 756,109 border crossers and illegal aliens into American communities from January 21, 2021, to February 28, 2022, the brief states. This is larger than the resident population of Boston, about equal to the size of Denver, Colorado, and larger than the population of Detroit, Michigan.

Releases by month are as follows:

America First Legal Foundation

America First Legal Foundation

Broken down by agency, Customs and Border Protection (CBP) released nearly 545,000 border crossers and illegal aliens while the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) released close to 212,000 border crossers and illegal aliens.

At the current rate of deportations, which have been gutted by Biden’s so-called “sanctuary country” orders, it would take ICE agents 14.5 years to deport the border crossers and illegal aliens released into the U.S. interior by Biden’s DHS.

That 756,109 total does not include the 500,000 illegal aliens who successfully crossed the U.S.-Mexico border in 2021 without being apprehended, nor the nearly 123,000Unaccompanied Alien Children (UACs) that have been resettled across the U.S. since the beginning of Fiscal Year 2021.

Altogether, the Biden administration is likely to have welcomed nearly 1.4 million border crossers and illegal aliens into American communities since January 2021.

The figure comes as Biden plans to end the Title 42 border control authority first imposed by former President Trump in 2020. The authority has successfully prevented waves of illegal immigration in the name of public health.

Biden officials admit they expect up to half a million border crossers… more here.
