What goes on at the Gold Dome?

ILLEGAL ALIENS, TUITION AND THE UNIVERSITY SYSTEM OF GEORGIA

Dual enrollment – or no-cost tuition on public university seats for illegal aliens in high-school

In an amazing move, the General Assembly passed HB444 in March 2020 and the governor signed it into law. That bill, sold as “reform” was presented as reducing the number of high school students in the very costly “Dual Enrollment” program in which high schoolers can take public university classes at no cost to the student. Taxpayers foot the entire cost – which is obviously even better than instate tuition.

Despite attempts by pro-enforcement lobbyists who wanted changes to protect taxpayers and legal residents, the law contains no language to determine immigration status or to exclude illegal aliens from the no-cost, taxpayer-funded college classroom seats.

We are told that many legislators were not aware that the bill did not change longstanding policy of putting high school illegal aliens in college seats at zero cost to the illegal alien student. The bill was rushed to an unscheduled vote in the House when word started to get out. We hope you willed about that here.

More on HB444.

Instate tuition for illegal aliens legislation – 2020

Currently, state law and Regents policy prohibits illegal aliens from accessing instate tuition rates.

Under the Gold Dome in 2020, there were three bills that would not only grant instate tuition to illegal aliens with DACA, but would include virtually all illegal aliens. These bills would be enabling illegal aliens in Georgia to pay less at public universities than US citizens and legal immigrants who live in Michigan, for example.

Two of these three measures were introduced and sponsored by Republicans.

Is instate tuition coming for illegal aliens in 2021? “We’re going to work towards something…” says the Republican House Education Committee Chairman.

Apparently, Dalton’s Republican Rep. Kasey Carpenter wants legislators to believe that his own 2020 bill aimed at instate tuition would apply only to illegal aliens with the DACA temporary amnesty reprieve. We hope this (and reading the 2020 bill) helps clear that up. A reminder: Real immigrants do not need special legislation to access in-state tuition in Georgia University System of Georgia colleges. Also, real immigrants do not require amnesty.

Let’s not forget that about half of the illegal aliens in the USA did not cross the border illegally. They came on temporary visas and never went home. And they are still coming. About a million more victims of borders will soon be screaming for special treatment.

And please remember the “DREAM Act” and DACA are not the same thing.

INCLUDING UNEMPLOYMENT COMPENSATION, ILLEGAL ALIENS ARE RECEIVING TAXPAYER-FUNDED PUBLIC BENEFITS

Long-standing Georgia law (OCGA 50-36-1) says that non-citizens (aliens) who do not have lawful presence (illegal aliens) are not eligible for an array of public benefits. A list here. A federal Appellate Court ruled last year that although illegal aliens with the Obama DACA amnesty are “inadmissible” and do not have lawful presence or legal status. The entire opinion here.

Despite this fact, these illegals are reportedly filing for and receiving state unemployment benefits and other public benefits. We are also investigating the likelihood that illegal aliens are accessing concealed carry licenses for firearms.

The anti-enforcement Georgia Budget and Policy Institute has ignored the Appellate Court ruling and has an entry on the DOL website that says illegal aliens with a work permit do have lawful presence. It is the federal government (congress) that decides immigration status.

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.
