GA Budget and Policy Institute: ‘Immigration enforcement not worth expense’, by D.A. King, Insider Advantage Georgia, August 1, 2018
Wesley Tharpe, author of the GBPI’s ‘Voluntary Immigration Enforcement a Costly Choice for Georgia Communities’ presents a rather bizarre and anti-American argument that locating, holding and turning over illegal aliens to ICE – after they have already been captured for suspicion of other crimes – is too costly.

Many Americans may have seen these cards presented by “undocumented workers”while in line at their local bank.

D.A. King: Thursday Gold Dome anti-enforcement lunchtime rally worth the price of admission, by D.A. King, Insider Advantage Georgia, March 23, 2011

Dream Act Amnesty A Nightmare For Immigration Enforcement, by D.A. King, Insider Advantage Georgia a subscription Website, September 21, 2010
