DIS Comms Director Inger Eberhart: "We need your help to fight illegal immigration in Georgia"

The below appeal for help in fighting illegal immigration in Georgia was sent out as a Dustin Inman Society alert today. Thank you, Inger.

___

The Dustin Inman Society is the only group working in Georgia against illegal immigration. We need your help.

Please consider these facts:

The Inman family, Dustin, Billy and Kathy are all gone now because an illegal alien was allowed into the U.S.A. and given a job, public benefits and a drivers license.
The powerful Georgia Chamber of Commerce is openly pushing (Republican sponsored HB 120) legislation under the Gold Dome to make Americans and legal immigrants from other states pay more (public) college tuition in Georgia than illegal aliens.
A coalition of leftist groups is pushing for legislation to allow foreigners to be law enforcement officers in Georgia.
In 2020 Gwinnett and Cobb sheriffs were elected on promises of not reporting illegal aliens in their jails to ICE.

According to DHS, Georgia is home to more illegal aliens than Arizona.

In 2018 Gov. Kemp ran on a promise of cracking down on “criminal illegals” and creating a registry of illegal aliens who have committed additional crimes – and ending sanctuary cities. He promised to present legislation to “track and deport“ dangerous illegals. He said nothing about enforcing Georgia’s E-Verify laws. Gov. Kemp has remained silent on the organized crime of illegal immigration in Georgia since the last election.
About 20,000 illegal aliens with deportation deferral already have Georgia drivers licenses. A Democrat state legislator and candidate for Secretary of State has a bill (HB 833) pending to give all illegal aliens in Georgia driving privileges. Including the thousands who are right now on their way to our state fresh from illegally crossing the border river in Texas.
The seemingly endless list of leftist groups that push against immigration enforcement are mostly funded by corporate Georgia (including Coca Cola and Georgia Power) and have large staffs dedicated to the anti-enforcement effort.

I am proud to work with my friend D.A. King to fight illegal immigration in Georgia and I write today to ask for your financial help if you are able to donate. D.A. has refinanced his home and spent his savings to lead the way since 2003.

Please help us. We are pro-enforcement.

You can donate using this page on the Dustin Inman Society website.

Thanks in advance if you can help.

DREAMers’ are just the bait; “citizenship for all 11 million, or however many” illegal aliens there are here is the hoo

By Andrew R. Arthur on November 17, 2022

On November 16, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) held a press conference in front of the Capitol in which he called for amnesty for “DREAMers”, aliens brought illegally to the United States as children. As he did so, however, he pulled back the curtain on his end game – to “get a path to citizenship for all 11 million, or however many undocumented, there are here”. The DREAMers are the bait, while a full and total amnesty is the hook.

DREAMers, In Brief. Amnesty legislation for aliens who arrived in their youth has a long, but not particularly successful pedigree. Here’s a brief recap.

In August 2001, then-Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) introduced a bipartisan “DREAM Act”, which included 18 cosponsors. That bill would have granted amnesty to aliens unlawfully present for five years who entered under the age of 21, and who met certain work and educational requirements.

The timing of that bill could not have been worse, because less than six weeks later, the September 11 attacks showed how foolhardy such blanket amnesties were. Nonetheless, similar “DREAM Acts” were subsequently introduced in later Congresses.

One bears special note. In March 2009, Sen. Richard Durbin (D-Ill.) offered up the “DREAM Act of 2009” during the 111th Congress.

At that time, Barack Obama was president, Democrats held an overwhelming majority in the House, and from September 24, 2009 (when Democrat Paul Kirk was appointed to fill the seat of the late Democratic Massachusetts Sen. Ted Kennedy) through February 4, 2010 (when Republican Scott Brown was elected to fill Kennedy’s seat), Democrats held a filibuster-proof majority of 60 seats in the Senate.

Obama’s fellow Democrats could have passed any bill they wanted – including and in particular the DREAM Act of 2009 – without any Republican votes at all. But that bill went nowhere. Cosponsor and then-Senate Judiciary Chairman Pat Leahy (D-Vt.) did not even bring it up for a vote in committee.

That said, two Republican senators – Mel Martinez (R-Fla.) and Richard Lugar (R-Ind.) – were cosponsors of the DREAM Act of 2009, so they probably would have blocked a filibuster even during the months Democrats only controlled a measly 59 seats in the upper chamber.

Obama blamed Republicans for the failure to pass a DREAM Act, but the fault really lies with him and congressional Democrats alone – DREAM Act legislation simply was not a priority for a party that held a hammerlock on the legislative process.

The popularity of legislation to “protect” the DACA population has been a key talking point for years (I was the punching boy for Democrats at a House hearing on the issue in March 2019), but let’s face it – if it really were all that popular, it would have been a shoo-in in the 111th Congress.

DACA. The failure of DREAM Act legislation led to a program called “Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals” or DACA. It grants quasi-legal status to aliens who entered the United States while under the age of 16 before June 15, 2007, who are currently under the age of 41, who meet certain educational standards, and have not been convicted of certain crimes.

DACA was not created by Congress, or even by executive order or executive action (for what that is worth). It’s the product of a memo issued by then-DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano on June 15, 2012. In my considered legal opinion, Napolitano lacked the authority to create DACA (the Fifth Circuit ruled in October that the program is unlawful, but the Supreme Court has yet to weigh in), but in any event, it sets a bad precedent.

Want proof? Here’s what the editorial board of the Washington Post had to say when President Obama was considering expanding DACA to include parents of U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents in 2014:

The president should think twice. Some of the same Democrats and pro-immigrant advocates urging him to protect millions of undocumented immigrants from deportation would be outraged if a Republican president took a similarly selective approach to enforcing the laws — say, those that guarantee voting rights or prohibit employment discrimination.

Obama ignored the Post editorial board and created something called Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents (DAPA). DAPA proved to be a bridge too far for Texas and several other states, who successfully sued to block its implementation.

Despite all of this, DACA continues, and the Biden administration recently issued a new rule, effective October 31, “to preserve and fortify” the decade-old program.

A Sympathetic Population. The DACA population is admittedly sympathetic. The vast majority of the approximately 650,000 current DACA beneficiaries were removable a decade ago, but in the intervening years they have been living in a quasi-legal status thanks to some questionable administrative actions.

Even President Trump, in his 2018 State of the Union address, offered up a plan to legalize not just DACA recipients but also a total of 1.8 million “DACA-eligible” aliens – more or less the same individuals covered by the DREAM Act…. please read the rest here at the CIS website.
