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

Daily Caller News Foundation

Jennie Taer Investigative reporter

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

January 12, 2023 By D.A. King

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.

“School choice!” for 2023/2024 GA: ‘Ineligible student’ defined – draft language #2, as requested

January 8, 2023 By D.A. King

The below draft language is in progress

“Eligibility for scholarships or grants”

(b) A student is ineligible to apply for any scholarship or grant described in this section if the student:

(1) Is not a United States citizen or a permanent resident alien…”

Here.

______

Below is in progress wording to exclude illegal alien students and parents from participation in any taxpayer-funded private school scholarship program.

DRAFT (in progress)

Eligibility:

A student is ineligible for any “NAME OF SCHOLARSHIP” scholarship or grant described in this section if the student Is not a United States citizen or lawfully admitted for permanent residence and a Lawful Permanent Resident under the federal Immigration and Nationality Act (INA).

For purposes of this section, “lawfully admitted for permanent residence” means the status of having been lawfully accorded the privilege of residing permanently in the United States as an immigrant in accordance with U.S. immigration laws, such status not having changed. Such status terminates upon entry of a final administrative order of exclusion, deportation, or removal as defined by the permanent resident alien.

Application for NAME OF SCHOLARSHIP:

The Department (of Education?) shall create a dedicated application for NAME OF SCHOLARSHIP.

The NAME OF SCHOLARSHIP application shall state that it shall only be accepted for processing if accompanied by a certified copy of the U.S. issued birth certificate or valid, unexpired U.S. passport or a current copy of the USCIS Form I-551 (green card). or

Form N-550, Certificate of Naturalization; or Form N-560, Certificate of Citizenship;or

Form FS-240, or Report of Birth Abroad of United States Citizen.

A required, universal and dedicated application should be created that requires parents/guardians/custodians of applicants for the state “school choice” scholarship/benefits to enter a valid Social Security Number for both the student scholarship recipient and the parent/guardian/custodian who will be authorized to deal with any disbursement of the state money.

Applicants or parents/ guardians for NAME OF SCHOLARSHIP shall complete the NAME OF SCHOLARSHIP application.

Application must be notarized.

Penalty for false swearing on the application goes to OCGA 16-10-71 and or OCGA 16-10-20.1.

A required, universal and dedicated application can and should be drawn up that requires parents/guardians/custodians of applicants for the state scholarship to enter a valid Social Security Number for both the student scholarship recipient and the parent/guardian/custodian who will be authorized to deal with any disbursement of the state money.

It may be important that the state does not ask any questions regarding immigration status of students or parents/guardians. Excluding anyone not a U.S. citizen or LPR from submitting an application eliminates the need to ask status.
