GMA The Georgia Municipal Association fights legislation aimed at enforcement of U.S. immigration laws
Georgia Municipal Association (GMA) still opposed to HB 2 and SB 20
I just came from the Georgia Capitol
CALLS NEEDED
Note: Georgia Municipal Association (GMA) not only is actively lobbying against the passage of HB 2 in the Capitol as you read this, but that very powerful non-profit organization has also joined forces with the ACLU and MALDEF and GALEO to oppose SB 20. Authored by Senator Chip Pearson, SB 20 would make it illegal under state law for a Georgia city or any local government to violate existing federal law in adapting a sanctuary policy for illegal aliens. SEE HERE –
Give them a call if you want and ask why they are fighting so hard to stop enforcement of our immigration laws. GMA legislative policy is run by a man named Lamar Norton.
Sanctuary policies cost lives.
