AJC inventing “facts” on state legislation again – HB960 and “illegal alien”

By

Photo: Poynter’s job online

UPDATE: Watching everyday, we were unable to find any correction on this in the liberal AJC. 12March2020

A Tuesday, Feb 25, 2020 AJC print version blurb (Removal of “illegal alien” language from state law sought” – page B7- Metro) on pending legislation in Georgia tells readers that HB960 “would replace the term with “unauthorized immigrant.” Actually reading the bill tells a different story.

The bill is another attempt to erase the all-too-accurate “illegal alien” and substitute the mindless “undocumented…” In this case the hope is to strike “illegal alien” from state law and substitute “undocumented person.”

We can’t find the term “unauthorized immigrant” anywhere in the bill.

AJC reporter Amanda Coyne should be asked to explain how she got it so wrong. Why? Because this is not the first time the AJC has run false goop about illegal immigration legislation and because people, including this writer, will never again believe anything Coyne is allowed to put in print without verifying it themselves.

Neither is the AJC piece complete. The bill also has language that eliminates the word “alien” from the code and inserts “person.” As in “we’re all just people…why do we need immigration laws…?” And it changes “illegal” to “undocumented.”

Here is a snippet from HB 960, lines 19-23:

“19  (b) A person who, while committing another criminal offense, knowingly and intentionally

20  transports or moves an illegal alien undocumented person in a motor vehicle for the

21  purpose of furthering the illegal undocumented presence of the alien person in the United

22  States shall be guilty of the offense of transporting or moving an illegal alien

23  undocumented person.”

We’ll take the time to review other Amanda Coyne yarns later. For now, we are sending a request for a correction to the AJC leadership. But we are not holding our breath.

I don’t see the story online. See photo below. You can see the text of the bill for yourself here.

Trump doing the job Brian Kemp will not do: AJC letter to the editor today

By

From today’s Atlanta Journal Constitution

Readers write.

Trump is doing job Kemp promised to do

President Trump is (reportedly) sending special operations agents of the Border Patrol to assist Immigration Customs and Enforcement in sanctuary cities — including Atlanta. This move by Washington brilliantly illustrates a failure to launch by Gov. Brian Kemp. Kemp, of the “big truck in case I need it to round up criminal illegals” fame of the 2018 campaign also promised to end sanctuary cities, and to “track and deport” with creation of a database of criminal aliens. The Dustin Inman Society is offering a reward for information leading to the discovery of any quote, quip, remark, utterance, legislation or order from Kemp on illegal immigration since he won the election.

Trump is doing the job Kemp will not do in Georgia. His record shows Kemp is merely another business-first politician who has turned his back on pro-enforcement voters who trusted him on illegal immigration. It was the “Big Truck Trick.” And it will be long remembered.

Jerry Gonzalez, corporate-funded GALEO leader on anti-sanctuary bill: “… a distraction and fear mongering…”

 Coca-Cola and Georgia Power regular GALEO supporters

Longtime enemy of immigration enforcement, Jerry Gonzalez, was quoted by Capitol-Beat News Service remarking on public safety legislation introduced yesterday by state Rep Phillip Singleton (R- Sharpsburg). Singleton’s bill is aimed at “sanctuary” policies for illegal aliens by local governments in Georgia.

From the report:

“Local Latino advocates panned the bill Wednesday, calling it a threat Georgia’s huge immigrant workforce that drives the state’s poultry, carpet and hospitality industries.

Jerry Gonzalez, executive director of the nonprofit Georgia Association of Latino Elected Officials (GALEO), said the measure would make Georgia less safe. “Georgia does not need this legislation, and it is simply aimed as a distraction and fear mongering during an election year,” Gonzalez said.

The entire Capitol-Beat story is available here.

Gonzalez is a former MALDEF lobbyist and Democrat fundraiser known to verbally attack female legislators who take a pro-enforcement position on immigration.

MALDEF was co-founded by anti-borders activist Mario Guerra Obledo who was best known for his 1998, on-air quote concerning California’s political future. “California is going to become a Hispanic state and if anyone doesn’t like it they should leave. They ought to go back to Europe,” said Mario Guerra Obledo, co-founder of MALDEF, on the Tom Likus radio show.

GALEO counts Georgia Power, Coca-Cola and Telemundo as financial supporters.

IPG will keep readers informed on Rep Singleton’s immigration enforcement bill.

Governor Brian Kemp’s ‘do not call me’ policy

By

Image: Brian Kemp -National Review/Reuters

*UPDATED: 12:55PM – We are already getting emails from now extremely angry conservative voters who are calling the 404-656-1776 phone number at the governor’s office and being told to ix-nay on the phone calls. “Use the contact form.”

Here is one of many: “Thanks, D.A. I just called and got the same line (“In order for your comment to be documented, . . . go to the web site.”). I pointed out that he is distancing himself from the voter and got the same reply. With this, on top of everything else he either has or hasn’t done, he has lost my vote.” DH – Atlanta.

Another one from Jan 27: “When you call the number, the live person who answers (they don’t take messages) will give you a website to contact and leave your Message. I couldn’t find where I could leave a message.” Martha Steele Brett, from Facebook.
David M “Governor Kemp is obviously destroying his re-election and you can forget that number nobody is going to answer your questions I’ve tried and tried and tried…D.A.  when I finally did get an answer they directed me to their damn website which is useless still got no answers. This is been going on for months.” “You know I had faith in our governor I knocked on doors for him I was spit on me and my family and a lot of my friends we were called racist my life threatened. By him not answering his constituents it’s just not right. I’m afraid he’s going to pay for this in November…”From Facebook, today, Jan 27.

 

**Updated January 27 – My mistake: There is no voice mail on the governor’s 404-656-1776 phone line at the Georgia Capitol as of yesterday (Sunday). 

Having been a reluctant and active denizen of Georgia’s state Capitol since 2004, I can assure those who aren’t that the number one activity that gets the immediate and full attention of the elected officials there is an organized group of voters who actually drive to Atlanta and go into the Gold-Domed beehive during legislative session.

The number two most effective way to get their attention is to ring their telephones – this includes phones in the governor’s office, where the phone number is and has been 404-656-1776.

 Constantly ringing phones with voters on the other end is a signal that something has become “an issue” that must be managed, if not actually dealt with.

We are hearing from multiple Georgians that staffers in Governor Kemp’s administration are attempting to discourage citizen telephone calls to his office. I have been checking the official contact page for a couple months and noted that the phone number (404-656-1776) into Kemp’s office had been removed sometime after he was sworn in. It had been posted there since 2003 that I am aware of, likely long before that.

Almost identical versions of “the receptionist told me we have to mail outside letter or fill out online form.  They are not taking messages nor tallying calls” is what I was being told by miffed constituents.

The Governor is apparently being blasted with calls concerning the refugee decision to be made by Friday (tomorrow).

(Related: Here is an Action Alert received here from the discredited hate-mongers at the SPLC urging phone calls to Gov. Kemp in favor of more refugees “because it makes our communities stronger.” They already knew the phone number. So should Georgians paying attention)

Two days ago I called the 404-656-1776 number and asked the nice young lady who answered to check the contact page to see if I had overlooked the phone number. She agreed with me that it wasn’t there, took my name and phone number and went out of her way to assure me that she would double check with her superiors and have somebody call me back.

Later in the day another staffer called to tell me that the page was being updated  and that an 800 number would be added. I made him tell me I was correct, the 404-656-1776 number was indeed absent.

No phone number version

Thanks to the magic of the WayBackMachine internet archive , here is a link from the recent past – Dec 5, 2019 – that illustrates the chief executive’s online contact page without the phone number. Here is a link to the contact page from March 31, 2019 – no phone number.

It’s back!

Today I checked the Governor’s website, went to the contact page and was happy to see that something had caused the 404-656-1776 number to reappear. But I see no 800 number…

Funny how things work.

We also note that there was a period of time last year when there was no voice mail on the 404-656-1776 lines. If you didn’t call during business hours, you were unable to leave a message to the governor’s office.Updated January 27 – My mistake: There is no voice mail on the governor’s 404-656-1776 phone line at the Georgia Capitol as of yesterday (Sunday). 

We suggest that Georgians not only call the governor, but, if you are able, also send an email behind your call. And rest assured, they do track the quantity of calls they get on every issue. But, without the push of the mostly liberal media, it’s only “an issue” if voters make it an issue.

Example? When is the last time you heard Governor “Big Truck” Brian Kemp mention illegal immigration or his campaign promises on that topic? Right now, it’s not an issue.

*Added 12:10 PM Apparently not an issue, even in the State of the State Address today.

The phone number to Georgia’s governor is 404-656-1776.

 

 

 

 

Immigration: The great divide: Congress is dismissing the majority of voters’ wishes

By

Two years ago, senators Tom Cotton, R-Arkansas, and David Perdue, R-Georgia, introduced the Reforming American Immigration for a Strong Economy Act (the RAISE Act) that would, over a 10-year period, reduce immigration by 50 percent.

January 7, 2020

 

A year-end Associated Press poll showed that the two top 2019 stories were the House of Representatives’ vote to impeach President Trump and the president’s immigration agenda. The media and the president’s critics refer to Trump’s immigration views as hardline, when in fact they reflect his desire to enforce the laws as written and congressionally approved decades ago.

Incumbent Trump versus whichever pro-immigration Democrat survives the endless debate cycle sets up an interesting showdown. Another late December poll, this one taken by Rasmussen, found that Americans are becoming more aware of immigration’s effect on the qualify of life. The nation cannot add more than 1 million new immigrants year after year, as has been the long-standing practice, without societal consequences. Until the Immigration Act of 1965, immigration averaged 250,000 annually.

Included in Rasmussen’s findings: 47 percent of likely voters polled want to slow immigration-driven population growth, and 14 percent want no immigration-related growth. Further, 68 percent believe the federal government should limit legal immigration to no more than 1 million annually – a total it currently exceeds – and 36 percent want no more than 500,000 admitted each year.

With regard to population-busting family reunification, also referred to as chain migration, 59 percent of voters think legal immigrants should only be allowed to bring their spouse and minor children with them, while 32 percent favor maintaining the current practice that allows them to eventually bring in other adult relatives, including extended family and their spouse’s families.

Americans have shown a growing concern about immigration-related quality-of-life issues. Once more or less limited to border states like California, Texas and Arizona, immigration has now added population to every state, with dire effects on housing and the environment. The impacts are visible in more and more sprawl, overcrowding and traffic congestion.

Consider Virginia, for example. The state’s three fast-growing counties – Fairfax, Arlington and Prince William, all located adjacent to Washington, D.C. – reflect immigration’s consequences on population growth. Since 1990, hundreds of thousands of Hispanics and Asians have moved into the area, and today account for 32 percent of the 1.8 million aggregate residents in the counties. This is triple their 1990 level. During Northern Virginia’s local elections in 2018, some candidates, in response to constituents’ concerns, considered imposing population limits in various affected regions.

The Census Bureau – the ultimate nonpartisan source – projects that if the immigration status quo remains unchanged, future net immigration (the difference between the number coming and number leaving) will total 46 million by 2060, and the total U.S. population will reach 404 million, up from today’s 330 million. Census Bureau data projects that immigration will account for 95 percent of population growth between 2017 and 2060. Readers can do their own informal poll by asking their friends and neighbors how they feel about adding 75 million more people in the coming decades. The likely result is that most would be overwhelmingly opposed…

Governor Kemp breaks silence on illegal immigration

By

Image: Dustin inman Society

 

Despite campaign promises, Kemp is mostly mum

 

 In a twenty-minute press conference in his office Wednesday morning, Georgia Governor Brian Kemp formally announced his pick to replace retiring Senator Johnny Isakson. It is notable that in his introduction speech for businesswoman and political trainee Kelly Loeffler, Kemp broached the topic of border security and illegal immigration.

As far as we can tell, this is Kemp’s first public remark related to illegal immigration since the 2018 election. We offer a no-cost, hand car wash to anyone who can accurately cite a quote or remark from Kemp on the issue since then.

“Senator Loeffler will fight to strengthen our immigration laws and finish the Border Wall so we can stop Mexican drug cartels from flooding our streets – here in Georgia – with drugs, weapons, violence, and fear” said Kemp.

According to the Georgia Budget and Policy Institute, Georgia is home to more illegal aliens than green card holders. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security ranks the Peach State ahead of Arizona in its population of “undocumented workers.”

Kemp’s silence and blatant disregard for the issue is in defiance of his detailed campaign outline for a state “track and deport plan” in which he pledged to “create a comprehensive database to track criminal aliens in Georgia.” “He will also update Georgia law to streamline deportations from our jails and prisons” and to create a criminal alien database” went the promise.

Still shocked by his inaction on illegal immigration in his first year, pro-enforcement political insiders paying attention to legislation in the Georgia Capitol are carefully watching to see if Kemp will put the power of his office – and begin to honor his campaign promises – by pushing for a simple bill that was held up in the Republican-ruled House in the 2019 session. HB 202 from Rep Jesse Petrea would require the state Department of Corrections to post a quarterly, public report citing the number of foreigners in the prison system, their immigration status, home nation and crimes for which they are serving time.

The measure was stopped in the House Rules Committee and must now begin the hearing process from the beginning, according to the House Clerk’s office.

While it does not begin to approach the tough-talk promises of action on criminal aliens from candidate Kemp, the end result of the Petrea’s HB 202 becoming law would be that Georgia taxpayers would have access to hard, official, indisputable data on at least one part of the cost of illegal immigration – which is one reason the bill was smothered last year by business-first Republican leadership.

A simple one-pager, HB 202 is still alive and has the votes to pass. As this writer noted elsewhere, Kemp could have ordered the DOC to begin the data sharing last year. But he didn’t.

 Illegal immigration is still an issue for Georgians

We make the same no-cost car wash offer to anyone who can cite any comment from Governor Kemp on any of the above examples.

“I got a big truck”

Perhaps most obvious to voters who can remember back to last year is candidate Kemp’s “yep, I just said that…” campaign ad shtick that involved his “I got a big truck” (video) and the possibility of his personally rounding up “criminal illegals.”

Asking about the current whereabouts of the truck seems a fair question for Governor Kemp from the faithful GOP voters.

From here, we will begin to produce regular updates on Governor Kemp’s campaign promises, his silence – or any actions – on the illegal immigration crisis in Georgia

Stay tuned.

Fast Fact: 67.3 million residents in the United States now speak a language other than English at home, a number equal to the entire population of France

By

Image: Twitter

Of those who speak a foreign language at home, 45 percent were born in the United States

The number has nearly tripled since 1980, and more than doubled since 1990. The growth at the state level is even more pronounced. All language figures in Census Bureau data are for persons five years of age and older.

Among the findings:

  • In 2018, a record 67.3 million U.S. residents (native-born, legal immigrants, and illegal immigrants) spoke a language other than English at home. The number has more than doubled since 1990 and almost tripled since 1980.
  • Since 1980, the number who speak a foreign language at home grew nearly seven times faster than the number who speak only English at home. Even since 2010, when the number speaking a foreign language at home was already very large, the number of foreign-language speakers increased more than twice as fast as that of English speakers.1
  • As a share of the population, 21.9 percent of U.S. residents speak a foreign language at home — more than double the 11 percent in 1980.
  • In nine states, more than one in four residents now speaks a language other than English at home. These nine states account for two-thirds of all foreign-language speakers. In contrast, in 1980 foreign-language speakers were one in four residents in just two states (New Mexico and Hawaii); and these two states accounted for just 3 percent of all foreign language speakers.
  • The states with the largest share of their populations speaking a foreign language at home in 2018 were California (45 percent), Texas (36 percent), New Mexico (34 percent), New Jersey (32 percent), New York and Nevada (each 31 percent), Florida (30 percent), Arizona and Hawaii (each 28 percent), and Massachusetts (24 percent).
  • States with the largest percentage increase in those speaking a foreign language at home from 1980 to 2018 are Nevada (up 1,088 percent), Georgia (up 952 percent), North Carolina (up 802 percent), Virginia (up 488 percent), Tennessee (up 459 percent), Arkansas (up 445 percent), Washington (up 432 percent), South Carolina (up 398 percent), Florida (up 393 percent), Utah (up 383 percent), and Oregon (up 380 percent).
  • States with the largest percentage increase in the number of those speaking a foreign language at home since 2010 are North Dakota (up 63 percent), Utah (up 29 percent), Iowa (up 24 percent), Florida, Minnesota, Oklahoma, Washington, Maryland and Nevada (each up 23 percent), Oregon and Tennessee (each up 22 percent), North Carolina and Kentucky (each up 21 percent), and South Carolina (up 20 percent).
  • In America’s five largest cities, just under half (48 percent) of residents now speak a language other than English at home. In New York City it is 49 percent; in Los Angeles it is 59 percent; in Chicago it is 36 percent; in Houston it is 50 percent; and in Phoenix it is 38 percent.2
  • In 2018, there were 90 cities and Census Designated Places (CDP) with populations of at least 63,000 in which a majority of residents spoke a foreign language at home. These include Hialeah, Fla., and Laredo, Texas (each 89 percent); East Los Angeles (88 percent); and Passaic, N.J. (78 percent).3
  • In 2018, there were 229 cities and CDPs in which more than one in three residents spoke a language other than English at home. Some of these places may be surprising: Providence, R.I. (50 percent); Allentown, Pa. (48 percent); Germantown, Md. (46 percent); Centerville, Va. (44 percent); New Rochelle, N.Y. (42 percent); West Valley City, Utah (39 percent); Springdale, Ark. (35 percent); and Troy, Mich. (34 percent).
  • The largest numerical increases in those who speak a language other than English at home between 2010 and 2018 were among speakers of Spanish (up 4.5 million), Chinese (up 663,000), Arabic (up 394,000), Hindi (up 265,000), Tagalog (up 187,000), Telugu (up 177,000), Vietnamese (up 161,000), Bengali (up 152,000), Portuguese (up 128,000), and Tamil (up 124,000). Telugu and Tamil are spoken in India, Tagalog is the national language of the Philippines, and Bengali is spoken in India and is also the national language of Bangladesh.
  • Languages with more than a million people who speak it at home in 2018 were Spanish (41.5 million), Chinese (3.5 million), Tagalog (1.8 million), Vietnamese (1.5 million), Arabic (1.3 million), French (1.2 million), and Korean (1.1 million).
  • There are now more people who speak Spanish at home in the United States than in any country in Latin America with the exception of Mexico, Colombia, and Argentina.
  • Of those who speak a foreign language at home, 25.6 million (38 percent) told the Census Bureau that they speak English less than very well. This figure is entirely based on the opinion of the respondent; the Census Bureaus does not measure language skills.4

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

By

Azadeh Shahshahani speaks out against immigration enforcement at an SPLC sponsored event in Atlanta, 2015. Image: Dustin Inman Society

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.

Open to the public: Atlanta illegal alien lobby to hold a ‘do-over’ anti-287 (g) forum in Gwinnett County

By

Anti-borders protesters at July 31, Gwinnett County 287(g) panel discussion. Image: IPG

 

Organizers dropped out of a two-sided discussion in July – but sent screaming protestors

Where and when: Collins Hill  Branch of the Gwinnett Public Library, 455 Camp Perrin Rd. Wednesday, October 2, at 6:PM.

Call it a “do-over.”

Several corporate-funded, anti-enforcement immigration groups have scheduled a “community forum” focused on the federal 287(g) program that allows local law enforcement to locate, report and hold illegal aliens in local jails. The program often leads to deportation.

The Georgia Latino Alliance for Human Rights (GLAHR), the Project South Institute for the Elimination of Poverty and Genocide, Women Watch Africa Inc. and BAJI – the Black Alliance for Just Immigration are listed in online fliers as organizers of the event.

GLAHR was co-founded in 2001 by former Mexican diplomat Teodoro Maus and Mexican-born Adelina Nichols. Nichols, who now runs the anti-borders company is a longtime activist against immigration enforcement and a proponent of drivers licenses for illegal aliens.  Legal & Advocacy Director for Project South is Iranian-born Azadeh Shahshahani who has worked with the ACLU and an off-shoot called ‘Georgia Detention Watch’ to end 287(g) agreements nationwide and to abolish detention of illegal aliens.

The event is intended to perpetuate false, race-baiting accusations against the 287(g) program and ICE and anyone who supports immigration enforcement.

Endless and shameless use of the term “immigrant’ to describe illegal aliens should be expected.

These are the goals the organizers hoped to pursue for in a six-person July panel discussion held by Democrat Gwinnett County Commissioner Marlene Fosque that included pro-enforcement panelists from the Gwinnett County Sheriff’s office, ICE and this writer from the Dustin Inman Society. Angry that the Dustin Inman Society was to be part of the event, Nichols, Shahshahani and the staffer from another open borders concern called ‘Asian Americans Advancing Justice’ dropped out at the last minute.

Marlene Fosque. Image Gwinnett County Commission

Fosque found three anti-287(g) stand-in panelists including a board member of the infamous and discredited GALEO , Democrat state legislator, Brenda Lopez Romero ,who is a candidate for congress in Georgia’s Seventh District. The discussion went south when Romero, unable to offer factual arguments against using the 287(g) crime-fighting tool, decided to change the topic to attacking D.A. King (me) personally.

The fact that the radical groups dropped out of the panel did not prevent them from igniting and displaying the hate for immigration enforcement they have instilled in their young followers who disrupted the meeting multiple times with screams, jeers and a display of signs inside the Gwinnett County commission auditorium directed at the ICE Agent panelist and this writer. The liberal press wrote it up with a ‘victims of borders vs oppression’ angle complete with false descriptions of pro-enforcement Americans being “anti-immigrant and “anti-immigration.”

Online flier from event organizers. Image: Twitter

According to the illegal alien lobby’s flyer, the anti-287(g) forum will be held at the taxpayer-funded, (open to the public) Collins Hill Branch of the Gwinnett Public Library, 455 Camp Perrin Rd. Wednesday, October 2, at 6:PM.

For Georgians who have not been exposed to the tax-exempt-trained and hate-fueled opposition to borders and immigration enforcement, the meeting is a ‘don’t miss. ‘

Note: It is unknown if there will be law enforcement present but having your camera at the ready is highly recommended.
