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.

August 4, 2020

I hand delivered a paper copy of the below letter to a legal department staffer in Gov Kemp’s Capitol office today at 1:58PM. I have embedded links here not in the hard copy to educate the online reader. I also corrected two typos and *an omission in the below version. Update Aug 3: **I corrected the copy below on open records request in Gwinnett until I locate misplaced files.

***Update, August 16: Unable to locate misplaced Gwinnett files, I sent two additional open records requests to Gwinnett Sheriff Keybo Taylor and have received responses to both. The charges on the foreign born subjects the newest responses are not felonies, so I have added corrective language below. The new responses do not indicate that Sheriff Taylor is in compliance with state law, OCGA 42-4-14.

Note: On August 2 & 3, I sent the below letter to virtually all MSM news outlets in Atlanta and most in Georgia as well as several national outlets including the Atlanta Journal Constitution and the Associated Press. I will list all of those outlets here as time allows.

1 August 2022

Governor Brian Kemp

206 Washington Street, 111 state Capitol

Atlanta, GA 30334

Re: Complaint and request for investigation; Gwinnett and Cobb County sheriff’s public admission of violation, OCGA 42-4-14: “criminal illegals” and illegal sanctuary policies.

Dear Governor Kemp,

As you are Georgia’s chief law enforcement officer I write to your office as instructed by the GBI on how a private citizen can report violations of state law and request an investigation.

You may remember the 2006 passage of SB 529, the “Georgia Security and Immigration Compliance Act” as you served as Chairman of the state Senate Public Safety Committee that held hearings on the legislation and passed it out. You also voted in favor of final passage of the bill on the Senate floor. Part of that legislation, which is now law, contained language that created OCGA 42-4-14. Paragraph (c) of that law now reads:

“When any foreign national is confined, for any period, in a county or municipal jail, a reasonable effort shall be made to verify that such foreign national has been lawfully admitted to the United States and if lawfully admitted, that such lawful status has not expired. If verification of lawful status cannot be made from documents in the possession of the foreign national, verification shall be made within 48 hours through a query to the Law Enforcement Support Center (LESC) of the United States Department of Homeland Security or other office or agency designated by the federal government. If the foreign national is determined to be an illegal alien, the keeper of the jail or other officer shall notify the United States Department of Homeland Security, or other office or agency designated for notification by the federal government.” (bold emphasis mine).

Gwinnett Sheriff Keybo Taylor has been quoted by various national and Georgia news outlets as saying he will not and does not check immigration status of incoming prisoners in the county jail and will not report criminal illegal aliens to federal immigration authorities.

“What we will not be doing is notifying ICE of anybody’s immigration status in the jail or any of our facilities” – Sheriff Keybo Taylor, as quoted by the Associated Press, January 1, 2021 (‘Sheriff pulls out of controversial immigration program’) is one example.

Then Sheriff-elect Taylor’s statement to Fox5 investigative reporter Randy Travis in a November 13, 2020 interview is another example of what is clearly a confession of his intent to violate state law, OCGA 42-4-14.

“We will not be participating with, uh, ICE or any other agencies in regards to immigration issues” (‘New Gwinnett sheriff plans two big changes first day of office’ – WAGA TV News).

I have received responses to ~~(an)~~ **multiple open records requests that validate the fact that Sheriff Taylor has been faithful to his promises on this matter and is in fact in open violation. Sheriff Taylor’s responses to my open records requests for copies of records and documents that would illustrate a check with law enforcement data systems on immigration status of foreign nationals in custody do not include these records. Neither is there any evidence that Sheriff Taylor has reported “criminal illegals” to federal immigration enforcement authorities in the responses to my query. that includes multiple inmates.

Please also note that the “headline” or “catch phrase” included on the LexisNexis version of this state law that includes the words “charged with felony” is inaccurate. Since being amended in 2011’s HB 87, the mandated immigration status check applies to all (*foreign national) inmates, regardless of the charge. I have been working with the Office of Legislative Counsel to see the online description of the law’s contents corrected for nearly two years. I would be grateful if you would use your power and authority to speed along the needed corrections.

*** All of my open records requests (except the two newest Gwinnett examples) pertain to foreign born inmates charged with felonies.

Please note that with the assistance of retired and experienced senior federal immigration enforcement officers, I have spent considerable time and effort on careful investigation of my own on this matter for more than a year. Responses to open records requests from the Cobb County jail show the same absence of records that would show compliance with the state law I cite in this letter. Sheriff Craig Owens runs the Cobb County jail.

As further evidence of open defiance of the law you are sworn to enforce, the Atlanta Journal Constitution ran a story citing both sheriffs in January of this year in which the newspaper reported:

“With 287(g) no longer in force, local jail officials have stopped systemically checking the immigration status of individuals arrested for a variety of crimes – including minor traffic violations – and sharing that information with immigration officials to initiate deportation proceedings” (‘There’s less fear’: Metro Atlanta immigrants feel safer with new sheriffs’ – AJC January 24, 2022).

I have posted all of my evidence online and am in the process of consolidating the various posts into a single source of information on the above facts.

As your office notes on the official website, “The governor is the chief executive of the state and oversees the executive branch. The governor shall “take care that the laws are faithfully executed and shall be the conservator of the peace” in the state. This power to enforce laws is almost identical to that of the president of the United States.”

Innocent Georgians – including children – are being killed, raped and molested by the “criminal illegals” and the illegal “sanctuary city”/county policies you promised to address when you ran for governor in 2018. Georgia is home to more illegal aliens than Arizona in large part because of the many laws aimed at deterrence of that organized crime are ignored here in our state.

I respectfully urge you to fulfill your duty and your pledge on this urgent public safety issue immediately.

Please feel free to contact me at any time for further information. I plan to distribute this request.
