According to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Georgia has more illegal aliens than Arizona (here, page 5). The anti-enforcement Georgia Budget and Policy Institute explains in a pie chart that we are home to more illegal aliens than green card holders.

Despite his repeated campaign pledge to protect Georgians from illegal immigration and illegal aliens, Georgia Governor Kemp has ignored the illegal immigration crisis in our state. We call it the “Big Truck Trick.” #BigTruckTrick

We also note that many Republican voters seem shy about reminding Gov Kemp of his promises on the issue that is killing Georgians and sapping our state budget. Gov Kemp was silent when we needed him to help pass an (another) anti-sanctuary bill in the state legislature in the 2020 session. That bill was originally HB915 and later HB1083. The illegal alien lobby won again. the measure died in the Republican-ruled state Capitol.

Below we offer some reminders of the promises made by a campaigning Brian Kemp. Also below are examples of letters published in Georgia newspapers that were written by angry citizens who are not willing to accept the business-first betrayal from the governor on illegal immigration. Also displayed here is a note on Kemp and broken promises by Mr. Thomas Homan, the former Acting ICE Director, in a Fox and Friends appearance in early 2020. Here is a news report on Mr. Homan condemning Gov. Kemp.

We plead with Georgians to contact the office of Gov Brian Kemp ( 404-656-1776 and online here) to urge him to honor his pledge on illegal immigration. We are pretty sure Gov. Kemp has ended the “do not call me” policy.

Photo:Special to DIS. Homan was livid when we explained that Kemp had not mentioned or acted on illegal immigration after using the crisis to garner conservative support and get the endorsement from President Trump that put Kemp over the top in the primary election in 2018.

Below is a TV campaign ad from Kemp. Despite being very familiar with and personally acquainted with the Inman family, we note that when he listed names of Americans killed by illegal aliens he didn’t mention Dustin Inman. At the time, Billy Inman ,Dustin’s dad who is gone now, sadly noticed it as well.

Brian Kemp’s “Track and Deport Plan”

While he ignored the blackmarket labor and illegal aliens accessing Georgia’s public benefits aspect of illegal immigration during the 2018 campaign Gov. Kemp did put out a very detailed promise for legislation to focus on criminal aliens and sanctuary cities. Even though states cannot deport illegal aliens, he called it his “Track and Deport Plan.” He promised to create a criminal alien database. You can see that promise and the “Kemp Track and Deport Plan” here from the governor’s campaign site (we have it saved elsewhere as well). Our reward also applies to any information leading to discovery of any action or even any comment from Gov. Kemp on that promise since the election.

Candidate Brian Kemp, summer, 2018: “Kate Steinle, Edwin Jackson and the Cannon family, all killed by illegal immigrants. Donald Trump is right. We must secure the border and end sanctuary cities.”
I’ll do the same as your governor. I’ll enforce the ban on sanctuary cities and track and immediately deport all criminal aliens so our kids don’t become the next victims.”

criminal illegals, sanctuary cities and illegal immigration legislation.

Big Truck Trick

Do you rember the “I got a big truck just in case I need to round up criminal illegals and take ’em home myself” TV ad? We do. Have you heard anymore from Gov Kemp about criminal illegals since then? We haven’t.

Here is Tom Homan remarking on Gov Brian Kemp – Fox & Friends, Feb 8, 2020

Tom Homan: “So, it isn’t the law enforcement officers that support sanctuary jurisdictions, it’s the politicians. It’s like I’m in, I’m in Georgia today, I’m giving a speech in Atlanta. Governor Kemp, who ran on tough immigration enforcement, now he’s in office, he’s missing in action. Sanctuary jurisdictions are growing in Georgia. Some police chiefs aren’t accepting retainers. So, you know, again, it’s the politicians who aren’t living up to their word. Law enforcement wants to do the right thing.”

Below is a letter the Brunswick News published from retired senior immigration enforcement officer, Robert Trent.

Letters to the editor

Kemp has yet to take action on illegal aliens

I still recall days of old when bold politicians called for reforms to protect the people of Georgia from illegal aliens. Unfortunately, as I repeatedly read stories in the press about rapes of women and children, murders and robbery, my memory brings back then candidate Gov. Brian Kemp’s promise to “track and deport” criminal aliens in Georgia.

I suppose the governor hasn’t had the time or the inclination to follow through on his promise, or was it just a politician pandering to his base? Perhaps the governor’s staff isn’t keeping him apprised of the seriousness of the current situation?

I didn’t have to look too hard to find some recent statistics for criminal aliens lodged in Georgia’s prisons. Here are the numbers and crimes for November 2019, compliments of the Georgia Department of Corrections:

• Child molestation, 234.

• Murder, 162.

• Rape, 127.

• Aggravated assault, 116.

• Armed robbery, 110.

• Statutory rape, 63.

• Kidnapping, 63.

• Trafficking meth, 137.

• Racketeering, 12.

I imagine the heads up at the governor’s office will roll when he finds out just how bad things have become in regard to criminal illegal aliens. Or will they?

The governor certainly has it within his authority to implement the plan he ran on.

Governor Kemp has always been chummy with the illegal alien lobby, but when he appointed a GALEO pal and fundraiser to constitutional office, Mr. Robert Trent, the retired Border Patrol Agent and former senior INS officer, fired off another angry letter to Kemp and shared it with us. It’s worth a read: Entire letter here.

Official English

The Dustin Inman Society pushes for official English for government in Georgia and the nation. Despite the intentional lies from the corporate-funded anti-borders/anti-English mob and the media, this is not a goal of “English only” but again, official English for government. We don’t think Governor Kemp shares our – and the majority of Georgians‘ – opinion on official English. Here is a guest column on Insider Advantage Georgia asking then gubernatorial candidate Brian Kemp’s position on official English. Please let us know if you hear anything from Gov Kemp on official English?

Foreign language videos to help non-English speakers vote in Georgia

Here is a little more insight on then Secretary of State Brian Kemp and official English in a DIS blog post in from October, 2016:

“To the astonishment of many Georgia conservatives and to the glee of the illegal alien lobby, Georgia’s Secretary of State, Brian Kemp, produced five videos in foreign languages ( Spanish, Vietnamese, Hindi, Korean, and Mandarin) to help non-English speakers “on voter registration, absentee voting by mail, advance in-person voting, and Election Day voting. “These new resources will help voters who are non-English speakers know how to register to vote and prepare to cast their ballot” says Kemp. “Georgia is not a ‘covered jurisdiction’ under the federal Voting Rights Act to offer election information in other languages,” Kemp’s press release told us.

Insider Advantage Georgia took note of Kemp’s surprising move and D.A. King wrote it up in several Georgia newspapers, including the Macon Telegraph. Along with all of the taxpayer-funded videos and an open records request from a very concerned immigrant American, the entire blog post can be seen here.
Also in the Macon Telegraph then: ( “Time to make English the official language of Georgia”) from then State Senator Josh McKoon. Note: After passing the state senate with the required two-thirds majority, Senator McKoon’s effort to allow all Georgia voters to consider a ballot question on amending the state constitution to make English Georgia’s constitutional official language of government died in the Speaker David Ralston-ruled GOP House.

A note from D.A. King: We have known Governor Kemp since 2006 when he was a state senator. This page is only part of what we have learned about Mr.Kemp, illegal immigration, genuine conservatism and profit-first politics. We will add it to the existing Brian Kemp file that we have indexed here on the original DIS blog. We advise Republican voters to pay attention and to find the courage to talk back. And we don’t care who knows it.

VIA U.S. REGULAR MAIL & E-MAIL

Leroy Chapman, Jr., Editor in Chief THE ATLANTA JOURNAL-CONSTITUTION 223 Perimeter Center Pkwy NE Atlanta, Georgia 30346

Re: Demand for Retraction and Apology

Dear Mr. Chapman, Jr.:

I write on behalf of my client, the Dustin Inman Society (DIS), to demand an immediate retraction and apology for the defamatory statements published in your October 7, 2024, article titled “Democrats in this Georgia district are backing a write-in candidate” by Tia Mitchell.

Through use of internet links, the AJC article wrongfully characterizes the Dustin Inman Society as a “Marietta-based anti-immigration hate group.” This characterization is false, defamatory, and published with actual malice. The Dustin Inman Society pushes for secure borders, is not “anti-immigration” and its proprietors do not hate anyone. Rather, DIS advocates for enforcement of U.S. immigration laws and actively opposes unlawful immigration. This distinction is crucial and well-known to staff at your publication.

I paste the offending paragraph from the AJC story:

“A search of activity under her birth name, Karen Sacandy, which Stamper legally changed in 2019, showed that she previously was aligned with a Marietta-based anti-immigration hate group. The group’s website often linked to Sacandy’s activities, like a letter seeking information about the state’s Immigration Enforcement Review Board and a copy of a letter to the editor supporting legislation to prevent immigrants claiming asylum from obtaining driver’s licenses.”

HEMMER WESSELS MCMURTRY PLLC

October 18, 2024 Page 2

We note the AJC informs readers that the Dustin Inman Society “often” linked to Karen Sacandy/Kate Stamper activities — but produces only two occasions.

Your story, for which DIS founder and president D.A. King was not contacted, informs readers that Sacandy/Stamper “was aligned” with the Dustin Inman Society. We note that polls show that a majority of Americans oppose the federal offense of illegal immigration. Since the letter posted on the DIS site was a published missive to the editor at the Cherokee Tribune, we must ask: does this make that newspaper a “Cherokee County-based anti-immigration hate group”?

Your characterization demonstrates a reckless and vindictive disregard for the truth, rising to the level of actual malice as defined in New York Times Co. v. Sullivan. Actual malice in defamation law refers to publication of a statement with knowledge that it is false or with reckless disregard of whether it is false or not. Your repeated mischaracterization of the Dustin Inman Society, despite having been corrected on numerous occasions, clearly meets this standard.

The Dustin Inman Society’s position on immigration is clear and public:

1. It supports sustainable levels of legal immigration through established channels.

2. It opposes unlawful immigration due to various societal concerns, including: – Strain on public resources and services
– Potential and real public safety issues
– Economic impacts on low-wage American workers and America’s poor

– Challenges to the rule of law

3. The Dustin Inman Society defends legal immigrants when media attempt to blur the difference between them and illegal aliens.

Moreover, the Dustin Inman Society’s board includes lawful immigrants who have navigated the proper channels for authorized immigration. This fact alone should dispel any notion that the organization is “anti-immigration.” As he has informed you multiple times over much of the last two decades, D.A. King’s sister is a real, legal immigrant.

While we acknowledge that the Southern Poverty Law Center has designated the Dustin Inman Society as an “anti-immigrant hate group that denigrates all immigrants,” your article presents the “anti-immigration hate group” characterization as the Atlanta Journal Constitution’s independent assessment and statement of fact.

This smear is not only demonstrably false and ignores Mr. King’s many communications to you advising you of the truth, but also demonstrates an exceedingly unprofessional failure to fact-check and verify information before publication.

We demand that the Atlanta Journal Constitution:

October 18, 2024 Page 3

1. Immediately publicly retract the defaming statement in the October 7, 2024, article.

2. Publish a prominent apology, equal in visibility and placement to the original defamatory article.

3. Cease and desist from further defamatory characterizations of the Dustin Inman Society.

Failure to comply with these demands may result in further legal action. We expect your prompt attention to this matter and await your timely response.

Sincerely,

Todd V. McMurtry
