Enforcement works! Another Georgia sheriff to apply for 287 g authority – the sound you may hear is illegal aliens leaving Barrow County

Posted by D.A. King at 10:49 am - Email the author   Print This Post Print This Post  

Nearly two years ago, the Dustin Inman Society announced the goal of getting 287 g into as many Georgia counties as possible. We are very proud of our success so far and that we have all the right enemies in the ACLU, GALEO, MALDEF, LA RAZA and many other well-funded un-American open borders groups.

Watch for a coming announcement of yet another Georgia sheriff who will apply for 287 g soon.

Area sheriffs warming to ICE role

Teaming with Feds to deport illegal immigrants who break the law

Barrow County’s new sheriff wants his office added to the handful of police agencies in Georgia where officers can help deport illegal immigrants who commit crimes.

Sheriff Jud Smith, who took office Jan. 1, has taken the first steps to follow sheriffs in Hall and Oconee counties partnering with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to root out criminals who are in the country illegally.

“This is something I am very interested in and something I campaigned on,” Smith said. “It is something we will be looking into, and I want to implement it as quickly as possible.”

More and more Georgia law enforcement agencies began to ask for help from ICE after a state law took effect in July 2007 requiring jailers to make “a reasonable effort” to determine if prisoners were in the country illegally.

Hall County is one of only a few communities in the state with a full-fledged partnership with federal immigration officials. Since Hall jailers became certified as ICE agents in April, the number of illegal immigrants booked into the Hall County Detention Center has been cut in half, according to Hall County Sheriff Steve Cronic.

Once word spread through the community about the ICE program, illegal immigrants moved out of Hall County or grew more cautious about breaking the law, Cronic said.

Before joining the program, about 63 percent of the immigrants booked into the Hall County Detention Center were in the country illegally, he said.

Lawmakers added the ICE deportation program to the Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996. It authorized the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to partner with state and local law enforcement agencies and allow officers to act as federal immigration agents.

Under the program, local cops get federally funded training under the supervision of ICE agents.

Sheriff’s departments in three other counties in Georgia now participate in the program – Hall, Cobb and Whitfield – and Gwinnett County, which shares a border with Barrow, seems well on its way to becoming the fourth…

JOHNSON COMMENTS ON IMMIGRATION VERIFICATION FOR PUBLIC BENEFITS

“We passed comprehensive immigration reform in 2006. The law contains requirements for local governments to verify immigration status so that only legal residents receive public benefits. Counties and cities should be following the law and if we need to put teeth into the law to ensure their compliance, we should do so.”

THE DUSTIN INMAN SOCIETY WELCOMES MS. INGER EBERHART TO ITS BOARD

Today, the Dustin Inman Society officially announces the addition of Ms. Inger Eberhart of Acworth, Georgia to its Board of Advisors.

Ms Eberhart has proven to be an aware and able voice in support of secure American borders and the equal application of American law – including immigration law – which describes the agenda of the nearly four-year-old Dustin Inman Society. “We think it is a great match” said a smiling D.A. King, president of the Dustin Inman Society.

Her efficient technical expertise, research and advice have proven invaluable to DIS operations. She also has proven to be an incredible asset to the Dustin Inman Society with her tireless work in sending well-written and informative letters and guest columns to many newspaper editors.

Fond of quoting the late Barbara Jordan on illegal immigration remedies, Inger’s courage and professionalism in articulating reasoned and accurate presentations to various local governments on the illegal immigration and employment has been a great asset. A long time DIS supporter, in addition to her new position on the Board of Advisors, Inger will soon begin to serve as a serve as a pro bono publico lobbyist for our non-profit organization in the Georgia Capitol.

Inger was originally introduced and kind enough to make some short remarks to an assembly of media and elected officials at a recent Dustin Inman Society press conference under the Gold Dome. Because we regard her comments important and worthy of sharing, we link them HERE .

Inger is a Georgia resident and an Atlanta native with a BS in Psychology from GA State University and an MBA from Shorter College. She has worked in Fortune 500, Fortune 100, and small businesses with increasing levels of responsibility. She holds positions of leadership in the Republican National Committee, GA Federation of Republican Women, Cobb County Republican Women’s Club, and GA Black Republican Council. She is also a board member of the Atlanta Film Festival and the GA Budget & Policy Institute.

She is a member of One Heart Church and serves as the producer/director of the sermons and various film productions. “We are fortunate to have her support and assistance” said King.

Eberhart joins the current members of the Board of Advisors: Billy & Kathy Inman, Fred Elbel, Francisco Jorge, Lupe Moreno and Everett Robinson. She is the first addition to the board since the inception of the Dustin Inman Society

Like every other in the Dustin Imman Society, the position is uncompensated.

Named for a sixteen year-old Woodstock, Georgia youth who lost his life to illegal immigration, the Dustin Inman Society is opposed to illegal immigration, illegal employment and open borders.

Legislation that could withhold state funds from local governments not in compliance with the Georgia Security and Immigration Compliance Act is moving forward this session.

State Rep. Calvin Hill (R-Hickory Flat) said the legislation was proposed out of a policy committee appointed by the Speaker of the House. He said the final bill has not been completed.

“We don’t pass Georgia law to be ignored,” he said.

Cherokee County has been criticized for not collecting affidavits affirming the citizenship of applicants for public benefits, specifically business licenses.

Commission Chairman Buzz Ahrens said the county’s interpretation is that it is not in violation. Ahrens said the county is waiting for a memorandum of understanding from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security before it can access the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements database to verify residency.

“We want to have the whole bag of tools,” Ahrens said, adding the county currently only can take the affidavits.

Rep. Sean Jerguson (R-Holly Springs) said he is proposing his own related legislation.

The legislation would “tighten down” citizenship requirements to hold alcohol licenses, especially for package stores…

County looks to expand checks
Authority allows for immigration audits

By Camie Young
Senior Writer

LAWRENCEVILLE – Gwinnett County officials are applying to expand their authority to check immigration status before giving public benefits, at a time when legislators could yank state funding for those failing to live up to a nearly three-year-old state law.

Officials announced last year they would check immigration status of those applying for occupation tax certificates, also known as business licenses. Despite checking compliance since September, officials just approved applying for a new memorandum of understanding with the federal Department of Homeland Security last week to allow for the extension of the SAVE program.

Finance Director Maria Woods said the new agreement would allow for the licensing checks as well as other public benefits, although she said the county has no plans for expanding to other programs.

The previous agreement only allowed the verification program to be used for housing grants.

While commissioners approved the move last week, it must be validated by lawyers and other officials before being sent to the Department of Homeland Security, likely in about three weeks, officials said.

Anti-illegal immigration advocate D.A. King said the move will not make the county compliant with a nearly three-year-old law requiring the use of the program to verify immigration status of people applying for 84 kinds of public benefits.

“One can only wonder how many tax dollars have gone to provide public benefits to ineligible people,” he said.

Instead, King praised a local legislator who has written a bill trying to create a punishment for noncompliance.

Rep. Tom Rice, R-Norcross, has filed legislation to deny Department of Community Affairs grants to governments not in compliance with the law.

“We’re putting some teeth in it that hasn’t been their before,” he said, adding that the bill would likely be shaped during the committee process.

The final draft, he said, could provide clarification on some issues with how governments have interpreted the law.

“I think it’s vitally important to ensure we enforce the laws we put in place,” Rice said.
