A Resolution Censuring Gov. Brian Kemp for his betrayal on Georgia’s illegal immigration crisis

WHEREAS, Innocent Georgians are murdered and American families are separated forever while we suffer crimes of rape, kidnapping, child molestation, drug dealing and job, wage and identity theft by illegal aliens; and
WHEREAS, We remember candidate Brian Kemp’s campaign rhetoric associating himself with and agreeing with then-President Trump on illegal immigration; and
WHEREAS, We remember Candidate Kemp’s detailed 2018 campaign promises on legislation addressing sanctuary cities, creating a registry of criminal aliens, a Kemp “Track and Deport Plan” and a constantly televised statement “I’ve got a big truck in case I need to round up criminal illegals and take them home myself”; and
WHEREAS, Governor Brian Kemp is silent as Democrat sheriffs end 287(g) agreements with DHS and defy long-standing state law (OCGA 42-4-14) he voted for as state senator requiring all jailers to investigate the immigration status of incoming prisoners and report illegal aliens to DHS; and
WHEREAS, Governor Kemp has betrayed President Trump, pro-enforcement voters, and since becoming Chief Executive has defiantly ignored illegal immigration and his related campaign pledges; and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE Georgia Republican Party that the delegates of this convention and its executive committee do hereby censure strongly rebuke Governor Brian Kemp.
