Georgia GOP U.S. Representatives ask ICE to activate the Secure Communities fingerprint sharing initiative state-wide ASAP (because they know enforcement works)
ADDED DECEMBER 10, 2010: The “G7” send an invitiation to Morton to expain ICE position. HERE
ADDED NOVEMBER 18, 2010: ICE REPLY HERE
In conversations with ICE officials, I recently learned that while several other states already are using the federal Secure Communities program state-wide, Georgia was not scheduled to become fully active until 2013.
Currently, Cobb, Cherokee (soon), Fulton, Muscogee, DeKalb, Clayton, Gwinnett, Whitfield and Hall counties – and all local jails in these counties – are active in the no-cost and very effective Secure Communities program.
The Dustin Inman Society finds the 2013 date unacceptable. We suffer more illegal aliens here than lurk in Arizona.
We are extremely proud and grateful to the Georgia Congressmen who agree with us and have signed on to a letter originated in Congressman Dr. Tom Price’s office asking ICE Assistant Secretary John Morton to alter the target date and make Georgia fully active as soon as possible.
THANK YOU CONGRESSMEN!
The letter from Congressmen Price, Broun, Gingrey, Graves, Kingston and Linder can be read HERE. (CLICK ON IT TO ENLARGE)
We urge readers here to call each Congressional office and and express their gratitude for sending the letter and attention to the increased public safety that comes with the Secure Communities program.

HERE is an extremely well written news report on Secure Communities for the many who are not yet familiar with this life-saving federal program.
I would have posted this Wednesday, but was quite busy with the Board of Regents and the anti-enforcement mob’s race-baiting rally ( 14 people) against 287(g) here in Cobb County yesterday.
PLEASE CALL THESE CONGRESSMEN AND SAY THANK YOU!
