Retired immigration agen Robert Trent: GA Lawmakers double-dealing on immigration – SB 354

By

Opinion

May 2, 2024                

“I can’t help but wonder what Laken Riley’s family thinks about this travesty.”

Lawmakers double-dealing on immigration

  • UPDATE: May 3, 2024. GA Gov Brian Kemp (R) signed SB 354 on May 2 thus continuing the business-first push for dismantling long-standing law  (OCGA 50-36-1) designed to stop illegal aliens from accessing occupational licenses in Georgia.  As a state Senator, Kemp passed OCGA 50-36-1 out of committee as Chairman of the Senate Public Safety committee in 2006 and voted for the host legislation on the floor for final passage.

Dear editor

Conservatives who are thrilled with the state legislature for passage of HB 1105, the Georgia Criminal Alien Track and Report Act should be aware of another bill passed in the just-ended session. SB 354 is legislation that begins a process of disassembling an entire system designed to make life difficult for illegal aliens in Georgia.

Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp

Because sorting out and rejecting illegal aliens in the process of issuing occupational licenses is a package deal, ending the licensing process also eliminates the check for illegal immigration status. SB 354 does exactly that for some low skilled workers in cosmetology and barbering industry. Sponsored by Sen. Larry Walker (R-Perry) and pushed by the usual “We want more workers!” suspects in the state Capitol, this business-first legislation will result in more illegal immigration into Georgia. Obedient Republican lawmakers passed SB 354 with only two of them voting against it. Neither of them represents Coastal Georgia. Not many Republican voters want Georgia to be a great place for illegals to “live, work and raise a family.” I can’t help but wonder what Laken Riley’s family thinks about this travesty.

Sadly, nobody should be surprised if Gov. Kemp proudly signs Walker’s dangerous bill into law while assuring us that it’s “good for business.” But it is well worth the effort to ask Kemp to veto this one. SB 354 should be a cause of great shame for Republican voters if they remain silent. Kemp’s Capitol office phone number is 404-656-1776

D.A. King in The Federalist this week: Laken Hope Riley’s Murder Outs Georgia As Largely A Sanctuary State

By

Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp

 

Many local officials contribute to Georgia’s illegal immigration by declaring an illegal sanctuary policy.

The heart-wrenching story of the murder of the University of Georgia (UGA) nursing student Laken Hope Riley reveals a truth that many Republican politicians in Georgia hope will never see daylight. The latest estimates from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security show that only six states host more illegal aliens than Georgia. At about 400,000, we have more illegal aliens than “green card” holders.

D.A. King

While illegal immigration is the No. 1 issue in the nation, until last week’s news of the murder at UGA, the same was not true in Georgia’s politics. It is sadly accurate to say that much of Georgia is a sanctuary state. Many local officials contribute to the state’s illegal immigration by violating the state law they have sworn to enforce and declaring an illegal sanctuary policy.

Shortly after taking office in 2021, Democrat Cobb County Sheriff Craig Owens invited a mariachi band to celebrate his announcement to end the county jail’s lifesaving 287(g)agreement (authorizing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to delegate to state and local law enforcement officers the authority to perform specified immigration officer functions) — and then he danced. The invited crowd of newly empowered, anti-enforcement activists funded by corporate Georgia went wild with gratitude.

On the other side of metro-Atlanta, at his own swearing-in event in Gwinnett County, the newly elected Democrat sheriff, Keybo Taylor, stood before a large audience, including media, and boasted that he too had ended the county jail’s 287(g) agreement with ICE. He went further by announcing that “what we will not be doing is notifying ICE of anybody’s immigration status in the jail or any of our facilities.” To make his professional position on the inherent dangers of “criminal illegals” set free on our streets crystal clear, Taylor added, “We will not keep anyone in jail under an ICE detainer.”

To address these defiant officials, Georgia Rep. Jesse Petrea has introduced his pro-enforcement bill HB 1105 (the Criminal Alien Track and Report Act), which would add penalties for noncompliance with existing laws against sanctuary. It defines “sanctuary” as “any regulation, rule, policy, or practice adopted by a local governing body which prohibits or restricts local officials or employees from communicating or cooperating with federal officials or law enforcement officers with regard to reporting immigration status information while such local official or employee is acting within the scope of his or her official duties.”

Lack of Media Coverage

My discussions with law enforcement officials and open records requests show many Georgia jailers do not obey the laws against sanctuary, instead defying the law designed to protect us from the criminal illegals who are murdering, raping and, molesting innocent Georgians — including our children. My complaints filed with various officials and agencies to force compliance, or at least media coverage, went nowhere.

Taylor and the many other sheriffs in open and public defiance of state law against sanctuary have escaped the media attention that trusting voters would expect. The reason for the news suppression is not a mystery. Most media are not on the side of immigration enforcement. But imagine the howling headlines if any state agency violated any law that benefits illegal aliens.

SB 379 (2022) “heads up” notes sent to GOP legislators on Gov. Brian Kemp’s Registered Apprenticeship Program

By

Below are the “Heads up” emails and a text I sent during the 2022 General Assembly session to key Republican legislators in an effort to convince them to insert language that would exclude illegal alien employees and illegal aliens employers from the taxpayer-funded Registered Apprenticeship Program created in 2022’s SB 379.
I have screenshots of all of them. I left my many typos in.
___
* The below email was sent to Sen. Brian  Strickland on Feb 22, 2022 at 9:13 AM. Sen. Strickland was the lead sponsor of SB 379. I did not receive a reply.
Senator Strickland,
I have only glanced at your bill (SB 379) and may have read over or missed language that insures the apprentice workers receiving the benefits of state funds and effort are eligible to work under federal law – not illegal aliens.
Could you please direct me to any such language or briefly explain why this is not needed?
That you if you take the time to reply.

  • The below Email was sent to Rep Chuck Martin on March 29, 2022 at 7:55 AM

Rep. Martin, thank you for addressing one of my concerns ( I had two, apprentice and the Apprenticeship sponsor running an apprenticeship) on SB 379. I watched your hearing and the vote this morning. I still have a question on the eligibility of the entity that can receive the (up to) $10k payment from state coffers.

I don’t think the second question has been addressed. Please correct me if I missed it?

* What if this guy had some kind of apprenticeship program and claims “apprenticeship sponsor” status? ( I am asking, not telling). Could he still participate and create an apprenticeship program – and get state money? Georgia is over run by illegal aliens operating businesses.

Lines 29 – 33 SB 379

(4) ‘Apprenticeship sponsor’ means:
(A) Any entity operating an apprenticeship program; or
(B) Any entity in whose name an apprenticeship program is being operated that is registered with or approved by the United States Department of Labor Office of Apprenticeship.

it seems like the belt and suspenders concept would change the “or” to “and?” – & why not add requirement that all concerned be either U.S. citizens or LPRs?

I only noticed this language yesterday just before I called and emailed you. Sorry for the confusing email yesterday. I have not seen the USDOL language on any of this.

If I am missing something. pleas let me know?

Thank you,

dak

*Note:*(Rep Martin Replied at 8:32 AM with “Taking a look at all aspects prior to Rules, Chuck.”)

Request for comment sent to Gov. Brian Kemp’s office today, Re: SB 379 (2022) #HDCI *Updated with response

By

 

*Update: Dec. 5, 2023: I received a response in a Twitter message from Garrison Douglas, Gov Kemp’s Press Secretary at 4:58 PM today.

That reply directed me to OCGA 50-36-1, which is a code section I have been working on since it was introduced as part of SB 529, the ‘Georgia Security and Immigration Compliance Act of 2006.’ I drafted the first update to that law in HB2 (it’s section 3) in 2009. I worked on this law in 2011 when GA passed HB 87, the “Illegal Immigration Reform and Enforcement Act of 2011.”  I can recite much of the details and requirements in that law from memory.

Screenshot of Twitter/X message reply from Garrison Douglas, Gov. Brian Kemp’s Press secretary recieved today.

It is worthy of note that around 11:30 AM today, Dec. 5, I received a call that went to my voicemail from a David Dove in Gov Kemp’s office informing me that I could call him back about the request I had sent to their “comms” office.

I called back multiple times but never got an answer or any voice mail despite the phone ringing about twenty times. I then called the main number for Gov. Kemp’s office (404-656-1776) and spoke to a very nice staffer there. She confirmed that David Dove did in fact work there but she had no phone number or email address for him. I asked her to note that I called. It was quite odd.

David Dove

I was informed later that David Dove is Gov. Kemp’s Executive Counsel.

I will have much more to say about Gov Kemp’s answer to me very soon. It is posted above as a screenshot from Twitter/X.

Audio of David Dove’s voice mail below.

 

End of update.

Original post:

  • I had to send a second request as I spelled Mr. Isenhour’s name wrong. Sorry!

At about 11:45 AM today the below request for a comment and response from Gov. Kemp’s office was emailed to Mr. Andrew Iisenhour, Gov. Kemp’s Communications Director. I also emailed it to Gov. Kemp and received a reply from him that it had been received. I also tweeted / X’ed this post to Mr. Garrison Douglas, Gov. Kemp’s Press Secretary.

Mr. Eisenhour, 

(apologies)

Mr. Isenhour,

Focused on illegal immigration in Georgia, I am writing a news/opinion column on the results of passage of SB 379 in the 2022 General Assembly. To insure fairness and accuracy I hope to include a comment from Gov. Kemp’s office.

I see the quote in a Nov. 2022 media release from the governor on the legislation and the HDCI program: “During the 2022 legislative session, Governor Kemp and lawmakers partnered to pass SB 379, representing a historic investment in apprenticeships in Georgia through the HDCI Program. The HDCI Program awards up to $50,000 in funding to Georgia businesses to upskill workers through registered apprenticeships and increase skilled talent within Georgia’s high-demand industries.”

I am hoping for a response to the following request:

 Please cite any language or reference to any required verification procedure contained in current laws created by SB 379 that serve to exclude illegal alien employees and employers from participating in and benefiting from the HDCI/apprenticeship program as apprentices, apprenticeship sponsors or apprenticeship employers.

* For clarity and put differently, is there a provision in state law created by 2022’s SB 379 that prevents illegal alien employers and employees similar to the subjects of this press release by the U.S. Attorney in Georgia’s Southern District from accessing the tax-payer-funded apprenticeship program on any level?

If yes, please cite and explain any existing provisions.

I am writing for my own blog and will likely submit a version of my finished investigation column to James Magazine Online and/or Breitbart News. My deadline is Tuesday, Dec.5 2023 at 5:00 PM.

Thank you. Please contact me with any questions.

Go Dawgs!
