My Athens Banner Herald letter to editor today in response to another recent race-baiting attack on Senator Rogers from Jerry Gonzalez

D.A. King: Illegal aliens’ apologists are truly anti-immigrant

In its Oct. 10 coverage of a sparsely attended rally against immigration law enforcement at the University of Georgia, the Athens Banner-Herald has done no favor for Americans – Hispanic or not. We should all be working hard to keep the issue of the organized crime of illegal immigration and illegal employment focused on the law – where it should be.

The brooding anger from Jerry Gonzalez and others who make their living advocating for illegal aliens is always expressed the same way: Anyone who demands secure borders and an equal application of the law – even for illegals who come from Latin America – are hateful bigots who are against Hispanics, immigration, children and Spanish speakers.

Not many Americans are buying this rubbish. We all should ask from where the hate-speech is really coming.

Gonzalez has a vested financial interest in keeping his race-baiting rhetoric on illegal immigration in the news. He works for former state Sen. Sam Zamarripa, who founded the far-left Georgia Association of Latino Elected Officials – with such all-American luminaries as Jane Fonda as founding friends. Zamarripa also is a founding partner of United Americas Bank, which is openly making mortgage loans to illegal aliens. Follow the money.

Authored by Georgia state Sen. Chip Rogers, R-Woodstock, the Georgia Security and Immigration Compliance Act (SB 529) does nothing more than require governments and residents in Georgia to obey long-standing federal immigration laws using available federal tools.

How un-American, huh? Gonzalez and Zamarripa fought furiously to prevent its passage.

Nothing could be more “anti-immigrant” – or anti-Hispanic – than to associate real, legal immigrants, who join the American family according to American law, with illegals who demand to choose which laws apply and those who make a living out of screaming “racism” at the majority of Americans who simply want their rule of law back.
