The AJC editors and this reporter omit the fact that the below covered legislation does not change the existing law that requires Americans who move to Georgia to wait a year to be eligible for the instate tuition.

Because the AJC didn’t, let us tell you about tuition costs.

“For academic year 2020-2021, the average tuition & fees for Colleges in Georgia is $4,739 for in-state and $17,008 for out-of-state. The amount is lower than national average. The 2021 national average is $6,852 for in-state students and $17,943 for out-of-state students.” Here.

* HB 932 would allow refugees, foreigners here on Special Immigrant Visas (SIV) and Afghans on “humanitarian parole” to be excluded from the current state law and BOR policy that says newly arrived college students must be GA residents for 12 months before they can access the much lower instate tuition rate in Georgia’s public colleges and tech schools. (The Special Immigrant Visa grants permanent residence to foreign nationals who claim to have helped the U.S. government abroad).

HB 932 does not cover Americans and immigrants outside the above description who move to Georgia from other states– they would still be required to pay the higher tuition rate for public colleges/tech schools for the first year of their residence. HB 932 is sponsored by Republican Rep Wes Cantrell and has Democrat cosponsors. We regard HB 932 as un-American.

The Dustin Inman Society opposes HB 932.

Lawmakers introduce bill to help refugees attend Georgia colleges

Legislation would help refugees qualify for more affordable in-state tuition rates as soon as they settle in the state.

 

Times News Express

January ?, 2022

When President Biden entered office in January, with Democratic control of the Senate and House, there was a great deal of hope from left-wing immigration activists that 2021 would be the year in which a broad pathway to citizenship for millions of illegal immigrants would be created and signed into law — but as the year ends, those hopes have so far been dashed as multiple efforts have hit the rocks.

The Biden administration released a proposal on Inauguration Day, which eventually became the U.S. Citizenship Act of 2021, and was headlined by an 8-year path to citizenship for illegal immigrants already in the country.

TOP DEM ADMITS PASSING BIDEN IMMIGRATION BILL A ‘HERCULEAN’ TASK AMID GOP OPPOSITION

It would also grant farmworkers, along with Temporary Protected Status (TPS) and Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), immediate green card eligibility. They would then be eligible for citizenship three years later.

While there was a smattering of security provisions, it was significantly less than seen in past immigration reform efforts — provisions that were key in getting Republican support. The bill also envisioned processing centers set up in Central America, more immigration judges — and avenues for legal immigration, including a mass “recapturing” of family and works visas from previous years.

However, with a 50-50 Senate, Democrats recognized that it would need Republican support to gain the 60 votes to overcome the threat of a filibuster. Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., admitted that it would be a “Herculean” task to pass the reform effort.

Sure enough, with minimal border security measures in the legislation and a brewing crisis at the southern border, even Republicans who had supported reform efforts in the past balked — with Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., calling it a nonstarter.

“There are many issues I think we can work cooperatively with President-elect Biden, but a blanket amnesty for people who are here unlawfully isn’t going to be one of them,” Rubio said.

MARCO RUBIO REJECTS BIDEN IMMIGRATION BILL, CALLS IT ‘BLANKET AMNESTY’

As the bill stalled in Congress, the White House expressed openness to breaking the legislation up into individual pieces that might be able to gain Republican support, with some Republicans having expressed willingness to grant permanent status to DACA recipients.

White House press secretary Jen Psaki told reporters that “Congress will have to work through what it looks like moving forward, and what components will be included here and what components could be dealt with separately.”

But as the border surge of 2021 grew over spring and summer, with more than 200,000 encounters a month at one point, there was little sign of a broader Republican appetite for immigration measures that didn’t include border security. And so Democrats tried a different approach.

Build Back Better/budget reconciliation

As Democrats looked for ways to pass sweeping parts of President Biden’s agenda on issues like climate change, family policy and immigration, they eventually zoned in on the budget reconciliation process in order to bypass the Republican filibuster. The budget reconciliation process requires only 50 votes in the Senate, and therefore if all Democrats in the chamber voted in favor, with Vice President Kamala Harris casting a vote as a tiebreaker, legislation would pass the chamber.

In outlines for the bill were a variety of proposals for amnesty or protections for illegal immigrants, in addition to sweeping changes to legal immigration. The first of those plans would grant a pathway to citizenship for DACA and TPS recipients, farmworkers and those deemed “essential workers.” However, that… more here.

Imagine the liberal AJC using an accurate term to describe the anti-enforcement mob in stories on immigration. Of course they don’t. The corporate-funded anti-borders organizers are usually described as “civil rights groups” or “immigrant advocates.” It’s part and parcel of the mind-molding mission at Kevin Riley’s Dunwoody newspaper.

While the days of the AJC opinion editor running my critical letters of correction to this ongoing dishonesty are apparently over, there was was a time when the trickery could be noted in the letters section. Here is one. It makes the point.

AJC use and normalization of the terms the left spews out is standard trickery.

Another example came this week when the Cobb County Republican Party cancelled a prayer vigil related to the victims of the disgraceful January 6, 2021 riot at the U.S. Capitol. The liberal AJC headline on the celebratory story from “aspiring Mensch” Greg Bluestein was “Cobb GOP cancels ‘homage to treason’ for Jan. 6 insurrection.”

Insurrection. Get it? Forget that there were and are zero charges of insurrection. It’s hyperbole designed to indoctrinate the mouth-breathing idiot liberals who automatically believe the dishonest liberal media. Because “Democracy.” And it works.

But how about the event being labeled ‘homage to treason?’ in the headline – where did that come from? In his news story Bluestein boasts that it came from a Democrat state legislator:

The details of the event, which emerged Sunday, sparked a torrent of criticism — and a nickname from state Rep. Teri Anulewicz, who called it an “homage to treason.”

The goal is open borders. And it is happening before our eyes. I no longer care what fools who watch – and believe – “the news” everyday think of me for telling them the truth.

There are still people who don’t understand that the goal for most of the “ruling elite” is to insure everybody – worldwide – has “the same amount of stuff.”  Except the ruling elite, of course. They will always need and be worthy of their private jets and special presence due to their enlightened superiority. They are “more equal.”

Nearly fifteen years ago we spent a lot of time, effort and money on a website designed to provide a basic education on this topic. It made a lot of people very uncomfortable – including at the open borders AJC. But it is impossible to match the funding, staff and resources of the vast open borders industry and we had to return to fighting against the progress towards amnesty for illegal aliens in the U.S. and smaller battles on the state level against corporate money and too many ignorant and obedient politicians in Georgia who know nearly nothing about any of this – and are pretty sure it isn’t worth knowing if they don’t already know.
