Sixty Georgia sheriffs endorse pro-amnesty candidate for U.S. Senate *Updated

Candidate’s stated position on amnesty and indentured servitude may not be widely known

*Update, September 1: Commissioner Black reports getting fifteen more sheriff endorsements and yesterday, former Congressman Doug Collins joined the list of pro-amnesty Gary Black supporters. So did current Georgia Congressman Andrew Clyde.

The liberal AJC is on a near-daily campaign to marginalize front-runner Herschel Walker in the senate race.

A week after criticizing legendary UGA football star Herschel Walker, Georgia’s Republican Commissioner of Agriculture, Gary Black, announced the backing of sixty Georgia sheriffs for his 2022 senate run. The state is made up of one hundred fifty nine counties.

As we have written before, in his 2011 testimony to a Senate committee, Black, a former longtime Ag lobbyist, recommended the U.S. repeat the failed “one-time” amnesty of 1986 for the illegal aliens growers employ with little concern of sanction.

According to multiple estimates Georgia is home to more illegal aliens than Arizona and more illegals than green card holders. Agriculture is the state’s largest industry

After they obtained legal status in the 1986 amnesty, many farm workers decided to change jobs and left the exhausting work in the blistering fields to the next wave of foreign black market labor. In his senate testimony, Black made it clear to the senate he hopes to meet that fact with a restriction. Black told the senate that having been legalized, farm workers should be restricted to the agriculture industry to renew their legal status.

A similar indenture scheme is part (Section 111) of the current amnesty for illegal alien farmworkers legislation senate Democrats hope to pass in the upcoming Reconciliation bill. The amnesty measure cleared the Democrat-ruled House earlier this year.

We have no way of knowing the various sheriff’s position on immigration amnesty or if they were aware of Black’s previous commitment to the concept of indenture for a path to U.S. citizenship and voter rolls for millions of illegal aliens. We do know that indentured servitude was officially outlawed in 1865 when the 13^thAmendment ended slavery in the U.S.

“Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.”

13^th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

The Biden administration on Wednesday began notifying governors about how many Afghan refugees would be resettled within their states from the first batch of 37,000 evacuees.

The administration plans to resettle 65,000 Afghans by the end of September, and 30,000 more by September 2022.

While the Associated Press first reported on the numbers, Axios presented the data more clearly

Many of the new evacuees requested to be resettled in those states because they already have family and close friends living in those states, according to two U.S. officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the calls to state government officials. Resettlement agencies also have a large presence and capacity in many of those states.

The State Department resettled evacuees based on the advice of local affiliates of nine national resettlement agencies the U.S. government is working with, the officials said.

The officials said Afghan evacuees are advised that other parts of the country — including areas with plentiful job openings and cheaper housing — could be good places to begin their new lives in the U.S. (Associated Press)
