Biden Admin’s New Refugee Sponsorship Program Partners With ‘Abolish ICE’ Organization

The Biden administration’s new refugee sponsorship program partners with an organization that’s previously advocated for the abolishment of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), a Daily Caller News Foundation investigation has found.
The State Department launched the Welcome Corps Thursday to provide American citizens with the opportunity to privately sponsor refugees. The program works with a consortium of organizations, including the Church World Service (CWS), a faith-based nonprofit group that has in the past advocated for abolishing ICE.

In a 2021 tweet, the CWS tweeted the hashtag “AbolishICE.” The organization has also advocated to pull funding from the government agency.
“Instead of providing excessive and immoral resources for inhumane treatment of immigrants and asylum seekers, the United States should put those resources into programs that expand our capacity to welcome immigrants with the dignity and respect everyone deserves,” the CWS said in September.
The organization’s involvement with the Biden administration, however, doesn’t stop there. The organization was also tapped to head the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) Case Management Pilot Program to monitor illegal immigrants awaiting their court dates in the U.S., Fox News reported in October… read the rest here.
School choice shouldn’t benefit illegal immigrants – Inger Eberhart in the Forsyth County News

School choice shouldn’t benefit illegal immigrants
I enjoyed reading the recent story (“State Sen.-elect Shawn Still will hit the ground running next week working to tackle these 2 issues“) on newly sworn Republican state Sen. Shawn Still’s intention to push for “school choice” legislation in the state Capitol. I hope all concerned take time to consider the obvious illegal immigration concern involved.
One of the first things I learned in my years as an occasional citizen lobbyist under the Gold Dome was that one should not accept the hype or the “trust us” narrative on any legislation unless and until you have actually read the bill. As the old adage goes, “the devil is in the details.”
That advice should be taken to heart by voters who are understandably clamoring for legislative financial help in moving their children from the
public K-12 school system and the legislators and conservative groups pushing for “school choice” in Georgia.
The too-often ignored reality is that Border Patrol agents and other law enforcement officers encountered roughly 2.5 million illegal immigrants in the fiscal year that ended Sept. 30 — smashing the previous record of 1.7 million set last year.
For a large share of these illegal border crossers, Georgia is a very popular destination. We are already home to more illegal immigrants than live in Arizona. State lawmakers should commit to doing everything possible to deter more illegal migration into our state.
School choice is a solid idea. Encouraging and rewarding illegal immigration into Georgia with offers of a taxpayer-financed private K-12 school education isn’t. The former does not have to include the latter. The 1982 Plyler v Doe Supreme Court decision only says states must provide public K-12 school education regardless of immigration status.
As a proud conservative, independent Black voter who votes Republican, I am one of many concerned voters who will fight against school choice legislation that doesn’t clearly exclude illegal immigrant families from accessing a private school education on the taxpayers’ dime.
Color me “pro-enforcement” on borders and immigration.

Looking for a better life: How many “criminal illegals” with ICE detainers in Georgia prisons? What were their crimes? HB 136
Number of illegal aliens with ICE detainers in the Georgia prison system and their crimes as of December 31, 2022.
*Note: The below list does not include criminal aliens in the prison system that do not have ICE detainers. We estimate including those aliens could double the total number.
The below data provided to us by Georgia state Rep. Jesse Petrea (R- Savannah) who obtained it from the Georgia Department of Corrections. We are grateful for the consideration. Below are totals and a complete list. More information coming soon.
