Mission statement and information about The Dustin Inman Society

“It is both a right and a responsibility of a democratic society to manage immigration so that it serves the national interest.” Barbara Jordan

The Dustin Inman Society is was founded in 2005 and – at his parent’s request – named in memory of a Georgia youth who lost his life to the crime of illegal immigration. We are proud to represent and be supported by a broad-based coalition of Americans of every race, ethnicity and description – including many immigrants.

We believe the fundamental duty of the federal government is to enforce federal laws, to secure American borders and protect the American people from unauthorized and uninspected border crossings.

America’s unsecured borders and the resulting illegal immigration represents a clear and present danger to our national security and public safety.

We recognize that immigration into the United States is not a universal right and must be reasonable, sustainable, regulated and serve the national interest.

We reject the agenda held by many that open borders and the free flow of people into the United States is in the interest of the nation or its sovereignty.

It is our opinion that use of the term “immigrants” should be limited to describing individuals who join the American family lawfully. And there is more to being an American – or an immigrant – than having escaped capture by American Border Patrol Agents or failing to keep the promise of departure from the USA when an official visa expires.

Like the majority of Americans throughout our history, we know that there is a distinct and much envied “American culture.” We insist that English be the common and official language of the United States of America and that immigrants assimilate into our culture and language.

As it has proven to encourage and expand illegal immigration and employment, the Dustin Inman Society is actively opposed to any repeat of the 1986 legalization program for illegal aliens present in the U.S.

We further recognize that the crime of illegal immigration severely reduces job opportunities for American workers and lowers wages for the poorest Americans. Also that state and local governments not only have the right, but the duty, to comply with all existing law and use all available legal tools to protect their citizens from the ravages of illegal immigration.

“On the ‘totem pole of blame’ for the organized crime that is illegal immigration, the federal government is highest and most derelict, then the criminal employers who lure most illegals here. Next irresponsible state and local governments and lastly the aliens themselves. Not many can blame anyone for wanting to live and work in the United States, but we cannot allow the entire world to migrate here. That is why we have immigration laws,” says D.A. King, DIS founder.

Our unequivocal mission is to end illegal immigration, illegal employment, the illegal administration and granting of Public Benefits and services through the equal application of existing laws. Additionally, we are proud to successfully advocate for and offer expert, experienced advice on crafting state and local legislation aimed at impeding illegal immigration.

Because of very limited resources, the Dustin Inman Society is primarily focused on the state of Georgia, where we are based. We are very proud of our success in assisting in the passage of numerous pieces of state and local legislation that have proven to discourage illegal immigration in Georgia, including the Georgia Security and Immigration Compliance Act of 2006 and Georgia’s Illegal Immigration Reform and Enforcement Act of 2011.

We are particularly proud of our success in our now more than five-year education program and public advocacy for the proliferation of 287(g) agreements between County Sheriffs in Georgia and the federal government.

We have no doubt that our work has saved many American lives.

In our patriotic endeavors, we are also proud to have all the right enemies.

Angel Dad Never Got to See Justice Served for Son, Killed by Illegal Alien

It was Father’s Day weekend in the year 2000. Dustin Inman, 16 years old, was in the car with his parents, Billy and Kathy Inman, and their dog. The family was headed to the mountains in north Georgia for some fishing.

Also on the road that day was Gonzalez Gonzalo Harrell, an illegal alien from Mexico who had secured a North Carolina driver’s license using his Mexican birth certificate.

While Billy Inman had stopped their vehicle at a red light, Gonzalo Harrell slammed into the back of them, going 62 miles per hour. The collision instantly killed Dustin Inman and their family dog.

Billy and Kathy Inman were both left unconscious at the scene. When first responders arrived, the Inmans and Gonzalo Harrell were taken to a nearby hospital. While being treated for injuries, Gonzalo Harrell fled the hospital.

Meanwhile, Billy Inman was treated for his injuries caused by the collision while his wife was in a coma for five weeks. Neither was able to attend Dustin’s funeral.

When Kathy Inman regained consciousness, she was told of Dustin’s death. Kathy was left with permanent injuries from the collision — injuries that bound her to a wheelchair.

Following the collision and Gonzalo Harrell’s fleeing, the Inman’s made it their life mission to bring justice for their son. In January 2001, Gonzalo Harrell was indicted by a Gilmer County, Georgia, grand jury which charged him with first-degree vehicular homicide, two counts of serious injury by vehicle, and reckless driving.

In June 2002, a federal Unlawful Flight to Avoid Prosecution warrant was obtained by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). In March 2014, the FBI issued a news release seeking the public’s help in finding Gonzalo Harrell.

Billy and Kathy Inman, in 2018, detailed their son’s death and revealed that they had spoken with then-President Trump about their case and their continuing fight to find Gonzalo Harrell, as Breitbart News reported.

“I lost my best friend,” Billy Inman said. “My little buddy. This is something I want nobody else to have to go through.”

“Our son’s been gone 18 years. This man’s been walking the streets for 18 years since what he did to my family,” he continued. “He’s gotten to see his kids grow up and graduate and do something and get married and whatever they do. He gets to hug his kid.”

Then, about a year later, in June 2019, Billy Inman died at the age of 55. A little over two years after Billy’s death, in August 2021, Kathy Inman died at the age of 57. Neither were able to see justice for their son, Dustin.

The Dustin Inman Society, named in Dustin’s honor, continues its grassroots efforts fighting illegal immigration and amnesty proposals in Washington, D.C. The FBI is still offering a cash reward of $2,000 for anyone with information on Gonzalo Harrell.

Those with information are asked to contact Crime Stoppers Atlanta at (404) 577-TIPS (8477). Full article from Breitbart here.
