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.

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.”

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.

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.
