Mass Immigration vs. Black America

“Amnesty for illegal workers is not just a slap in the face to black Americans. It’s an economic disaster. I see illegal immigration and the adverse impact that it has on the political empowerment of African Americans, and the impact it has on the job market.”

“Inger Eberhart, a board member for the pro-enforcement organization the Dustin Inman Society blasted the rally. She sent CBS Atlanta the following statement: “The first people hit by the crime of illegal immigration are some of America’s poorest, including African-Americans and many native-born Hispanics. In these desperate times of soaring unemployment and scarce resources, this vigil against enforcement of our immigration laws is a shameless and mindless affront to hard working Americans of all descriptions.”

Black Clergy: Don’t Deport Illegal Immigrants (VIDEO LINK ON BOTTOM)
Group Says Immigrants Of African Decent Targeted, Too

Written By: Rebekka Schramm – CBS Atlanta Reporter

ATLANTA — Members of the group Concerned Black Clergy rallied in front of Atlanta’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement Office Monday. They prayed and sang songs, denouncing America’s treatment of illegal immigrants — and not just the ones from Latin America.

“It’s about those individuals, people of color, friends in Haiti,” said Dr. Richard Cobble, the group’s president. “We’ve just gone through this thing in Haiti. People coming out of Haiti, they’re sending folks back to Haiti. They’re from South America, from Africa, from all over this world.”

The group is calling on President Barack Obama to fulfill his campaign promise of immigration reform. Until then, the group is demanding a moratorium on deportations until the system is fixed.

“Shouldn’t people who came into the country illegally be punished for that?” asked CBS Atlanta’s Rebekka Schramm.

“We will be the first to admit that there are a lot of what we call undocumented who are here,” answered Rev. Timothy McDonald of the First Iconium Baptist Church. “But why not create a path where they can become legal?”

“We don’t want criminals here,” said state Rep. Tyrone Brooks, D-Atlanta. “We want people who want to be here and be law-abiding citizens.”

“What about the people, though, who are breaking our laws every day by driving without a license and getting into wrecks and killing people. What about those illegal immigrants?” asked Schramm.

“I think the state can deal with that. I think we need to make it possible for those persons who are driving to gain a license,” responded Brooks.

Inger Eberhart, a board member for the pro-enforcement organization the Dustin Inman Society blasted the rally. She sent CBS Atlanta the following statement: “The first people hit by the crime of illegal immigration are some of America’s poorest, including African-Americans and many native-born Hispanics. In these desperate times of soaring unemployment and scarce resources, this vigil against enforcement of our immigration laws is a shameless and mindless affront to hard working Americans of all descriptions.”

An ICE spokeswoman sent CBS Atlanta this statement: “We recognize that our nation’s immigration challenges require serious solutions and are fully supportive of needed comprehensive immigration reform efforts. Until such reform is enacted by Congress, ICE will remain focused on smart, effective immigration enforcement, not sweeps or raids that target undocumented immigrants indiscriminately.”

Your taxes fund blocks to immigration enforcement

…Including the ACLU and Jerry Gonzalez at the Georgia Association of Latino Elected Officials, it would be difficult to find any organizations that are more effective in keeping meaningful punishments for violations out of the 2006 Georgia law aimed at illegal immigration. — Wait until you find out the source of their income. More on that farther down.

The media can be counted on to do with the media does which is well…nothing. Recently, I attended a legislative committee meeting for a final decision on HB1164. It was not the only bill on the agenda but the committee was slated to make a final decision. Just as a point of note, HB53/HB111 was also on the agenda.

Here’s a little background on the two bills: HB1164 (before it got gutted by the subcommittee) allowed for punishment of those contractors/subcontractors that hire illegal aliens and do not use E-Verify to ensure they are legally eligible to work in the US. HB1164 was created prior to Cobb County realizing that illegal aliens were working on the Courthouse project. HB53/HB111 disallowed racial profiling in traffic stops and required the police officers to collect an immense amount of information in the traffic stop. During testimony, a police chief stated that it would add 41 minutes to a traffic stop just to collect the additional information. The police chief also stated that officers are annually trained and there are guidelines and policies against racial profiling.

Back to the issue at hand, CBS46 Atlanta had a reporter in attendance at the committee meeting. HB53/HB111 had plenty of testimony from the ACLU, immigrant rights’ groups, etc. about racial profiling. Did CBS46 Atlanta ask the “Tough Questions” of the ACLU? No. Did CBS46 Atlanta ask the “Tough Questions” of the police chief? No.

Did someone mention used cars?! Well, let’s get the cameras rolling and the reporters talking! There must be “Tough Questions” asked of used car sellers and dealers. In a massive reach to pat themselves on the back, CBS46 Atlanta testified to punish those used car sellers for knowingly selling a car with defects. CBS46 Atlanta is so proud that they are looking out for you.

Oh, the passionate testimony of the reporter about manipulated CarFax reports and hidden camera video. The endless circular discussion of the difference between a used car dealer and a used car seller. wow.

I wonder if there are any statistics on cops pulling over used green cars as opposed to used blue cars? I can’t tell you how often I get irritated at those used cars that escape capture at the border and end up in Georgia. If I see one more used car on a job site taking parking spaces…

Not to leave a story unfinished, by the time HB1164 was presented to the committee, CBS46 Atlanta was no longer in the building.
