Illegal Immigration: Complaint Against Walker County (GA) Commissioners Sent Today to Sheriff Steve Wilson - UPDATED AND CORRECTED

UPDATED AND CORRECTED 5:50 PM July 14: I apologize for the confusion. The below complaint post has been corrected and a corrected complaint has been sent to the Walker Co. Sheriff. The address of Aztec framing is located in Catoosa County, not Walker County. But according to the information posted on the Walker County website (as linked) they are in violation regardless of the location of Aztec Framing. I note that Walker Co. is not the only entity to be in violation of state laws aimed at illegal immigration.

I did contact both counties (and the city of Rossville) today trying to pin down the correct county before writing the complaint. The confusion on Aztec Framing location was mine.

I left the incorrect info on the post so that my error is visible and marked the inaccurate text with strikethrough lines. And I corrected the headline…it’s not a “compliant.”

COMPLAINT – REQUEST FOR INVESTIGATION AND REPORT

To; Walker County Sheriff Steve Wilson 14 July 2021

Walker County Sheriff Office
105 South Duke Street
Lafayette Georgia 30728
706-638-1909

Subject: Ongoing Violation of OCGA 50-36-1 and OCGA 50-36-2

Dear Sheriff Wilson,

Walker County Board of Commissioners are apparently overseeing, sanctioning and participating in illegally accepting applications for, processing and issuing the Occupational Tax Certificates (aka “Business License”) required by law to establish and operate businesses in your county.

This violation of state law designed to deter the crimes of illegal immigration and illegal employment has reportedly resulted in permitting at least one business in Walker County (Aztec Framing, 1641 Lafayette Rd, Rossville, GA 30741) to be openly operated for years by an illegal alien who hired and then harbored other illegal aliens.

I have noted the Walker County application for Occupational Tax Certificates posted on the official county website and spoken to various staffers today. Walker County is ignoring the verification of lawful presence requirement and the Secure and Verifiable ID laws for processing and issuing at least one public benefit – that being Occupational Tax Certificates.

I charge that the below elected officials are in violation of OCGA 50-36-1 and OCGA 50-36-2 and am requesting a full investigation and that a report be sent to the GBI and to the state Attorney General, Chris Carr.

Chairman – Shannon Whitfield

I write with the confidence that you will fully investigate the below complaint and with heartfelt gratitude for the courage and professional way you and your Deputies and staff conduct the dangerous business of protecting and serving Georgians. At our house we honor and respect law enforcement officers.

Please contact me with any questions if I can provide further assistance in securing Walker County.

I will send my request for a copy of the investigation report in 30 days.

Respectfully,

D.A. King

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.
