Georgia Farm Bureau: NO TO LEGAL WORKERS! NO TO IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT IN GEORGIA ! WE CARE NOTHING FOR BRAVE BORDER PATROL AGENTS!

SELLING OUT AMERICA: The Georgia Farm Bureau has joined with the race-baiting radicals and come out of the closet against enforcement and in favor of giving amnesty to illegal aliens and illegal employers in Georgia!

The “progressive” Georgia Farm Bureau has picked a side on immigration enforcement…open borders it is.

Like Jerry Gonzalez, they hope you never find out about the H2A visa that allows the agriculture industry to legally import an unlimited number of foreign workers to work in Georgia’s Ag industry. The problem is that the workers must be treated with dignity, paid a living wage and provided housing. Hiring illegal aliens who escaped capture at our borders and who hate us for being Americans while the rest of us pay for the education, health care and press one for English in our own country is much cheaper.

WE DO NOT NEED ILLEGAL LABOR TO GROW ONIONS AND PEACHES OR ANY OTHER CROP

How many Border Patrol Agents will the Georgia Farm Bureau help kill next year?

ASK THEM!

Parts of the coming 2011 Georgia legislation to attack illegal immigration will be made public very soon, we are working on them now. The Georgia Farm Bureau will be lobbying in the Georgia Capitol with the Socialist Workers Party, Jerry Gonzalez, Jane Fonda, the ACLU, GALEO and La Raza to kill the bills and stop enforcement of American immigration laws in Georgia. I need help.

PLEASE contact the Georgia Farm Bureau HERE. Be polite if you want to, but please don’t be silent. PLEASE CONTACT THEM NOW!

The battle to get an “Arizona law” in Georgia has already started…please pick a side. The Georgia Farm Bureau has. They are un-American and anti-enforcement.

Georgia Farm Bureau cautions state on immigration
By RAY HENRY – Associated Press

LYONS, Ga. — Georgia farmers, many of whom are dependent on immigrant labor, have fired a warning shot at state lawmakers considering ways to crack down on illegal immigrants.

Delegates to the Georgia Farm Bureau’s annual convention voted Tuesday to adopt a policy that opposes any state immigration measure that “discriminates against the farm worker” and puts them at a competitive disadvantage. The vote marks the first time the Farm Bureau has adopted an immigration policy directed specifically at Georgia state leaders.

“We think immigration is a federal issue, and it needs a federal solution,” said Jon Huffmaster, the Farm Bureau’s legislative director. “And we think a patchwork of state laws could cause more problems than it solves.”

Many farmers are heavily dependent on immigrant labor to harvest crops by hand, particularly vegetables and peaches that are easily bruised and damaged by machines. Huffmaster said farmers in vegetable-growing regions first pushed for the new policy, one of many that was created or revised during the convention at Jekyll Island.

Politicians in Georgia have signaled their willingness to adopt tougher sanctions against the estimated 475,000 illegal immigrants in the state, many of whom work in agriculture. Gov.-elect Nathan Deal, a Republican, said during the campaign that he would support an Arizona-style immigration law. That state approved a measure that requires police officers, when enforcing other laws, to question the immigration status of those they suspect are in the country illegally.

Meanwhile, a committee of Republican lawmakers was created in September to study illegal immigration and its effects on Georgia. The co-chair, Rep. Matt Ramsey, said members will try to fill gaps in state law and add enforcement tools to existing laws.

Ramsey said state officials have been forced to wade into immigration policy because of the federal government’s inaction.

“I would respectfully disagree with any statement that the state has no role in this,” the Peachtree City Republican said. “In my opinion, the status quo is unacceptable, and that is the consensus of the members of the immigration reform committee.”…

RINO Jeb Bush: Arizona-type immigration laws are the ‘wrong approach’

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush says Arizona’s immigration laws is the wrong approach to dealing with a porous border. — Bush told the National League of Cities convention on Saturday that his children might draw suspicion from police [the daughter has been busted for drugs numerous times, and the son is a radical fan of open borders]. His wife, Columba, is from Mexico…

Lest we forget. HERE

“Immigrant” – by a federal definition, an immigrant is a person who enters the United States lawfully with the intention of permanent residence, or an alien who has been granted legal permanent residence…commonly known as a “Green Card.”

“Alien” – is legally defined as any non-citizen present in the U.S.

There is no such thing as a “legal citizen.” There is no such thing as an illegal citizen. One is either a citizen… or isn’t. An immigrant becomes a citizen through a process called “naturalization.” Naturalized citizens are every bit as much citizens, with the same rights and duties, as native born citizens. Most Americans welcome immigrants and want sustainable immigration.

It is a federal crime to enter the U.S. illegally. (8USC 1325)

There does exist an accurate, official and legal term, “illegal alien” – which describes an alien present in the U.S. in violation of American immigration laws. Most people will recognize the clear insult to real immigrants – and the tradition of immigration into the U.S. – when anyone attempts to blur the line between real immigrants and illegal aliens who escape capture at our borders.

AMNESTY: In 1986, after years of debate in Congress, the U.S. granted a “one-time” legalization process for what Americans were told would apply to about one million illegals. The promise from the federal government was that upon legalization (“Comprehensive Immigration Reform”), American borders would be secured and employers would be sanctioned for hiring illegals. It was to be the sure and certain solution to the illegal immigration crisis. Sound familiar? We ended up legalizing about three million illegals. Look around. Amnesty does not stop illegal immigration.

It is a federal crime to induce, bring in, harbor, shelter, conceal, knowingly employ or encourage an illegal alien to remain in the United States. (8USC1324 ).

At more than one million each year, the U.S.A. takes in more real, legal immigrants than any nation on the planet. In addition, we bring in more than one million guest workers each year. We also suffer the highest number of illegal aliens in the world. Estimates range from 11-20 million and are mostly based on U.S. Census figures. Most illegals do not respond to census takers.

Traditional levels of immigration were set to accept less than 300,000 immigrants each year, to insure assimilation. Immigration into the U.S. is intended to benefit our nation, not any other.

Nearly half of the illegals present in the U.S. did not enter illegally. They came on visas and refused to leave as promised. “Visa overstayers” are illegal aliens. All illegals are deportable.

Most present day legal immigration comes from the nation of Mexico. Immigration from Mexico in 2009 numbered 164,920. The number-two nation from which Legal Permanent Residents originated was China, at 64,238. Nations 3 and 4, respectively were the Philippines, sending 60,029 & India (57,304). Canada (16,140) and the U.K. (15,748) came in at 17 & 18.

Congress passed the Alien Registration Act in 1940 requiring non-citizens in the United States longer than 30 days to be fingerprinted and carry documents demonstrating lawful presence.

There is nothing in the 2010 Arizona law, the “Support our Law Enforcement and Safe Neighborhoods Act” (SB 1070) that is not already contained in long-standing federal law.

Most Americans support the Arizona law and enforcement of federal immigration laws.

Georgia officially ranks number six in the nation for the number of illegals present at an official, census based estimate of 480,000. We were ahead of Arizona, which is ranked number seven, with 460,000. Georgia had the highest percentage of increase of illegal residents 2000-2009 of any state in the USA…at 115%.

“E-VERIFY” is an accurate, ever-improving, no-cost, internet-based federal database designed to verify the eligibility to legally work in the United States. E-VERIFY is used to verify only newly hired employees. E-VERIFY IS NOT A SCREENING SYSTEM AND USER EMPLOYERS MUST VERIFY ALL NEW HIRES. More than 16,000 Georgia businesses already use E-VERIFY.

“SAVE” (Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements Program) is another federal database that provides near-instant immigration status information to public agencies that administer Public Benefits. SAVE verifies the eligibility of applicants for Public Benefits such as “any retirement, welfare, health, disability, public or assisted housing, postsecondary education, food assistance, unemployment benefit and any grant, contract, loan, professional license, or commercial license provided by an agency of a State or local government or by appropriated funds of a State or local government…” Most illegal aliens are not eligible for most Public Benefits.

Since the 2006 Georgia Security and Immigration Compliance Act (SB529) , Georgia has had in place laws aimed at illegal immigration, illegal employment and illegal administration of Public Benefits. The 2006 law requires public employers and their contractors to use the E-VERIFY system. Further, state law requires all official agencies that administer Public Benefits to collect a sworn affidavit of eligibility from applicants and to verify using the SAVE program. There are no penalties for violation. There is no official oversight for compliance. While it is treated as secret by most in the media, there is rampant violation by many local governments and official agencies.

About 5% of the U.S. workforce is illegal. The current estimate is that over 6% of the Georgia workforce is illegal. Also that about half of Georgia’s agricultural workers are illegal aliens.

Most illegal immigration is a result of illegal employment. Four states have in place laws requiring all employers to use E-VERIFY. Georgia is not one of them. Most experts agree that illegal immigration can be reduced by more than half with state-wide use of the no-cost E-VERIFY.

The H2A visa is a nonimmigrant visa which allows an unlimited number of foreign workers to enter into the U.S. to perform agricultural labor or services of a temporary or seasonal nature. Employers must provide free housing that meets safety and health standards established by law. Employers must provide workers’ compensation insurance to workers at no cost to the worker. Employers must provide free housing that meets safety and health standards established by law.

It is much cheaper for agricultural employers to hire illegal labor. The ridiculous concept put forth by the radical anti-enforcement mob that we must allow illegal immigration or repeat the amnesty of 1986 to grow and harvest onions or peaches is advanced by race-baiting hucksters who depend on the media to never mention the H2A visa. So far, with great success.

There is no such thing as “cheap labor”. Illegal labor saves employers money, while taxpayers pick up the tab for the benefits and services illegals cannot afford because of their artificially low wage level. “TAXPAYER SUBSIDIZED, BLACK-MARKET, REPLACMENT LABOR” is a much more accurate term.

$$$ Cost: Estimates of the cost of illegal immigration vary. Georgia currently has no system or policy to study or track the loss to taxpayers in dollars. According to Congressman Lynn Westmoreland (GA-03), while cost estimates vary, most people agree that the cost is staggering. “According to a recent study performed by the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), illegal immigrants cost the state of Georgia alone approximate $2.4 billion in 2010. That number includes $8500 per child for the approximate 153,000 illegal immigrants in Georgia’s K-12 schools and over $111 million for Medicaid for undocumented workers*.

“We must do something to reform our immigration policies that does not reward illegal immigrants who scoffed our immigration laws” says Westmoreland.

8 U.S.C. §1252c

Section 1252c originated in the House of Representatives as a floor amendment to the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996 (AEDPA §439).
Section 1252c authorizes the arrest of aliens by state and local officers who have presumably violated §276 of the INA (Reentry of Removed Alien). Section 1252c(a) states in part:
[T]o the extent permitted by relevant State and local law, State and local law enforcement officials are authorized to arrest and detain an individual who—
(1) is an alien illegally present in the United States; and
(2) has previously been convicted of a felony in the United States and deported or left the United States after such conviction, but only after the State or local law enforcement officials obtain appropriate confirmation from the Immigration and Naturalization Service of the status of such individual and only for such period of time as may be required for the Service to take the individual into Federal custody for purposes of deporting or removing the alien from the United States.

The purpose of §1252c was to overcome a perceived federal limitation on the ability of state and local officers to arrest an alien known by them to be dangerous because of past crimes committed in their jurisdiction. The court in United States v. Vasquez-Alvarez, however, found that neither the defendant, the government, or the court could identify any pre-§1252c limitations on the powers of state and local officers to enforce federal law.Section 1252c(b) also mandates cooperation between the AG and the states to assure that information in the control of the AG, including information in the NCIC, that would assist state and local law enforcement officials in carrying out the duties of §1252c is made available to the states.

The Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act (IIRIRA) of 1996 revolutionized the process of alien entry into the United States. The IIRIRA eliminated the term “entry,” replacing it with “admission.” An application for admission occurs whenever an alien arrives in the U.S. regardless of whether the arrival occurs at a designated port-of-entry. Applicants at either designated ports or otherwise must submit to an inspection by U.S. customs, even if the applicant possesses an immigrant visa. The IIRIRA also employs the term “arriving alien” to describe applicant aliens attempting to enter the U.S., regardless of whether they arrive at a designated port, a non-designated point on the border, or are located in U.S. waters and brought to shore.
