DOWNTOWN: Thousands rally for immigration rights (amnesty) at Capitol

ATLANTA — The streets surrounding the State Capitol were jammed with protestors Thursday afternoon, rallying for immigration rights. Washington and Mitchell streets and MLK Drive were shut down to handle the foot traffic near the Capitol.

Upwards of 3,000 people standing outside aimed their shouts of “Si se puede! Yes we can!” at Gov. Nathan Deal and lawmakers who support House Bill 87 and Senate Bill 40, which many consider to be Arizona-like immigration bills.

The “Illegal Immigration Reform and Enforcement Act of 2011” would require businesses to use the E-verify system to insure employees are legal citizens.

It allows an officer that stops a suspect for any crime, including a traffic violation, to check immigration status.

It would make it against the law to knowingly transport an illegal immigrant.

And it requires any agency administering public help to require proof of citizenship.

Protestors gathered Thursday said the won’t support and won’t comply with the proposed laws. Teodoro Maus, president of the Georgia Latino Alliance for Human Rights, called the legislation racist.

“You lose all civil rights, all human rights, all constitutional rights. Everything goes out the window,” Maus said. “Human beings are not illegal.”

D.A. King, president of the Dustin Inman Society, which calls itself “a coalition of citizens for a secure Georgia”, said the bills are fair, necessary, legal.

“Everywhere we enforce our immigration and employment laws, illegal aliens migrate out of the area, thereby creating jobs for real, legal immigrants and seeing an uptick in the wages,” King said. “Each state has not just the right, but I think the duty to protect its residents.”

Maus says Georgia has a lot to lose. “Remember Mexico is the third largest trading partner of Georgia,” he said. “It very well could affect the relationship with your state and my country.”

Thursday’s protestors said they’ve already compiled a list of companies, groups and celebrities who, they say, have pledged to boycott Georgia if the proposed immigration bills are passed.

The Georgia Latino Alliance for Human Rights has been planning an immigration rally in May, but some Democratic lawmakers suggested they move it to before the vote.

Dear D.A.,

HAS GEORGIA BEEN SOLD OUT?
there is important, life changing info in this alert

ACTION NEEDED

CAPITOL office contact info for all Republican state Senators HERE. Home and district office contact info HERE

La Raza, ACLU, Chamber of Commerce, Lt. Governor/Senate President Pro Tem vs Georgia citizens?

Coming soon: Georgiafornia?

WE MAY HAVE BEEN BETRAYED IN THE GEORGIA SENATE ON HB 87!

We have little time remaining in the 2011 session and if we don’t get the bill passed before end session we lose. THERE IS NO “NEXT YEAR” on this.

DESPITE WHAT THE ELECTED OFFICIALS MAY TELL YOU – They have had all the time needed to pass and sign HB 87 into law and still do.

I will write more about this over the weekend, but below is what you need to know and do before Wednesday to save your children’s future in Georgia:

Yesterday, I watched about 5000 screaming, chanting, resentful crazies, many of whom carried signs that said “undocumented and unafraid” and “WE WILL NOT LEAVE!” take over Washington St. outside the Georgia Capitol. The protest against HB 87 and any enforcement of American immigration laws was staged by the local “your laws do not apply to us Hispanics” crazies. There were illegal aliens in charge of crowd control telling American citizens that they could not pass on certain sections of public – Capitol grounds – property and Capitol Police and State Patrol officers warning Americans to obey. Most of the day-long rally was conducted in Spanish. The Capitol grounds looked and sounded like a chaotic third world barrio. In speeches, many Democrat politicians assured the raving crowd that they had a civil right to be here illegally and that help was on the way. I posted some links to local TV coverage HERE (scroll down). You can see what the crazies are saying HERE.

The goal was to kill HB 87.

During the last several months inside the Capitol during hearings on HB 87 and the phony SB 40, I have watched lobbyists paid by the Georgia Chamber of Commerce, the ACLU, the Farm Bureau, the Georgia Agribusiness Council, angry Jerry from the GALEO Inc., the “Asian Alliance” or something (“E-Verify is bad for Asian business”) and many other far-left groups lie their teeth off to committee members about immigration, federal laws, visas, and E-Verify while constantly denigrating the American worker and carefully explaining that we should continue to use black-market labor instead of legal labor…because the legal workers are “too expensive.” I have watched the media ignore the lies.

The goal was to kill HB 87.

HB 87 is the most well-written, well thought out and most well-vetted state enforcement legislation in the nation. It will drive hundreds of thousands of nation -wrecking illegal aliens out of Georgia even before it goes into effect IF IT IS ALLOWED TO PASS. It passed the House by a huge margin – WEEKS AGO. The only thing left is for it to go through a Republican controlled Senate and be presented to a new Governor who campaigned on promises to be tough on illegal immigration, promote E-verify laws and to put in place an Arizona-style law in Georgia. Georgia’s Republican Lt. Governor, Casey Cagle, is also President of the Senate. The Republican number two in the Georgia Senate is Tommie Williams.

If there was a sincere desire and intent to get tough on illegal immigration and protect jobs, the budget and the rule of law, HB 87 would have already been heard and passed out of the Senate Judiciary Committee Chaired by Republican Senator Bill Hamrick and then put on the floor for a quick vote – did I mention that the Senate is controlled by the Republican Party and that the Chamber of Commerce and the ACLU are against HB 87 and enforcement?

There has been no committee vote – or even a notice of a hearing for HB 87.

Some Senators want to vote with the Chamber, the illegals, Jerry Gonzalez and the ACLU but are afraid of the consequences in their districts from angry American voters like..YOU. Most GOP Senators want to do the right thing and get HB 87 passed and illegals out of Georgia regardless of the Chamber of Commerce.

WHY HAS HB 87 NOT BEEN HEARD IN COMMITTEE AND VOTED ON IN THE SENATE?

THERE IS A GREAT DEAL OF EVIDENCE AND MUCH TALK FROM VARIOUS DEPENDABLE CAPITOL SOURCES THAT THE GOVERNOR, THE LT. GOVERNOR, THE PRESIDENT PRO-TEM OF THE SENATE AND SEVERAL GOP SENATORS WHO WANT TO VOTE “NO” HAVE TEAMED UP WITH THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE-LED ANTI-ENFORCEMENT MOB AND DECIDED TO PUNT HB 87 AND THE ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION ISSUE TO “NEXT YEAR” IN HOPES THAT YOU WILL FORGET ABOUT UNEMPLOYMENT, ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION AND ENGLISH BEING AN OPTIONAL LANGUAGE IN GEORGIA.

And that you won’t notice that they have already done exactly that with HB 59, which would have kept all illegals out of all public Georgia universities.

If this is the case, you will never be told…they will simply let the clock run out and go home and hope that you will go to the mall and forget about being sold out. If this is OK with you…stop reading and go to the mall.

They will get large campaign donations from the Chamber of Commerce, the Farm Bureau, the Georgia Agriculture Council and other “we want to keep our slave-like illegal labor” business interests. The illegals will hold more rallies and Georgia will become even more popular as a destination for illegal immigration fugitives.

More Americans will go without jobs while illegals go to work on building courthouses, local schools and roads with your tax dollars.

WE HAVE THE VOTES TO PASS HB 87 – that is why it is not allowed on the floor for the vote.

HERE IS WHAT WE MUST DO RIGHT NOW: ACTION NEEDED – PLEASE CALL AND EMAIL NOW!

Call (AND/OR EMAIL) your own Republican state Senator – if yours is a Dem, then call Senator Tommie Williams – and demand an answer to this question:

“If a Senate vote were held on HB 87 tomorrow, how would you (or your boss, if speaking to an assistant) vote? “YES”, with Americans or “NO”, against Americans?” Make them pick a side.

The bill is easily read HERE. Send me the answers you get by next Wednesday, March 30. We will assemble a YES – NO chart and note the Senators who refuse to reply and send it to every conservative and Tea Party group in Georgia and to the National Review for publication/posting.

If you are part of a group or organization, please pass this around

Call (AND/OR EMAIL )the office of Governor Nathan Deal and ask why he is silent on HB 87 but so vocal on other bills…like Sunday liquor sales. 404 656 1776 Governor Deals’ campaign promises HERE

Call (AND/OR EMAIL) Lt. Governor Casey Cagle’s office and ask how avoiding a vote on HB 87 can possibly help the ambitions to someday be Governor…and let that office know that a voter on an INTACT HB 87 must happen this year or it will be clear which side Casey Cagle is really on.

Bill *****

Dear Bill,

Thank you for taking the time to contact me and share you views on strengthening Georgia’s immigration laws. It is an honor to serve as your Lieutenant Governor, and I always appreciate it when citizens like you contact me on the issues that matter to them most.

I share your frustration with the Federal Government’s inability to secure our nation’s borders. Because of these failures, Georgia, like other states, has to find ways to address the problems brought on by illegal immigration. We must use every reasonable tool at our disposal to minimize the negative impacts of illegal immigration on our state.

Here in Georgia, we have already made great progress with the passage of the Georgia security and Immigration Compliance Act in 2006. I recently joined with Speaker Ralston to create the Special Joint Committee on Immigration Reform and charged them with taking an in-depth look at ways to confront this problem and offer concrete solutions to improve the situation.

As a former State Senator and now as Lt. Governor, I have a proven record of supporting legislation that addresses the illegal immigration crisis and certainly support continuing to look for and implementing stricter controls in Georgia. It is my hope that the legislature will be able to implement these reforms this year and I look forward to insuring we are able to successfully pass this new law.

Again thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts on this matter. As Lieutenant Governor, I remain committed to strengthening Georgia’s immigration laws and look forward to working with you to continue this effort.

Sincerely,

Casey Cagle,

Lt. Governor of Georgia

Immigration law enforcement bills irk farmers

Roberta, Ga. — …The dust-ups over the bills are exposing a divide between two key GOP constituencies. “It’s a contest between the chamber-of-commerce Republicans and the rule-of-law Republicans,” said D.A. King, president of the Dustin Inman Society, a Marietta, Ga., group calling for stricter immigration laws. The group sells bumper stickers that declare, “We vote…and we say no to Georgiafornia!” …

Thousands protest Georgia immigration bills

…D.A. King, founder of the Dustin Inman Society, which advocates for stricter enforcement of immigration laws, is a supporter of Ramsey’s bill and said the rally reinforces his position. — “House Bill 87 has all the right enemies,” he said as he observed the gathering. “These people are anarchists.”

Thursday lunchtime rally worth the price of admission

How terrified is the anti-enforcement mob of actual compliance with American immigration and employment laws and passage of state legislation targeting Georgia’s illegal immigration crisis? — Georgia citizens, political observers, pundits, legislators (especially legislators) and all denizens of the Georgia Capitol should step outside the Gold Dome on Thursday…

HERE

The students’ final drafts that I read were basically the same. Most of them stated they were in the country illegally, White Americans are racist, and that they came here for a better life. I asked the class if America adopted Mexico immigration laws would Americans still be consider racist? That question they could not answer and called me a racist for asking it. I mentioned that my wife and children are Hispanic so how could I be racist? I asked the students to stop speaking Spanish in class because it was impolite to speak a language in front of people who may not speak that language. Their response was that Americans better learn Spanish and their customs because they are taking their land back from us.

Teacher’s letter to Sen. Russell Pearce

March 21, 2011

The Arizona Republic.

March 15, 2011

Dear Senator Russell Pearce,

I am compelled to write to you about a recent event that occurred to me. I currently work as a substitute teacher in the west valley areas of Phoenix, Glendale, and Peoria. I was called upon to teach history and language arts for 8th grade at a Glendale public school. The number of students I had in each class ranged from 28 to 38 children, which were almost all Hispanic and a couple of Black children. The day started out as usual turning on the television listening and watching the announcements and saying the Pledge of Allegiance. During the Pledge of Allegiance I notice the vast majority of students refusing to stand and say the pledge. I asked the students why they refused to say the Pledge of Allegiance and they responded by saying, “we are Mexicans and Americans stole our land.”

The teacher’s instructions were for the students to read a few pages and answer the questions regarding Mark Twain in their history textbook and to finish their final drafts to Senator Steve Gallardo thanking him for his position on Illegal Immigration rights. Their teacher apparently had showed them a video with Senator Steve Gallardo and Lou Dobbs. Most of the students came unprepared for class not possessing paper and pencil. I provided the students with paper and pencils only to have them wade-up the paper and throw it at each other along with their pencils.

The students’ final drafts that I read were basically the same. Most of them stated they were in the country illegally, White Americans are racist, and that they came here for a better life. I asked the class if America adopted Mexico immigration laws would Americans still be consider racist?

That question they could not answer and called me a racist for asking it. I mentioned that my wife and children are Hispanic so how could I be racist? I asked the students to stop speaking Spanish in class because it was impolite to speak a language in front of people who may not speak that language. Their response was that Americans better learn Spanish and their customs because they are taking their land back from us.

When it came to completing the Mark Twain assignment only 10 students completed it out of all my classes. Most of the students refused to open the book, tore the pages out of the book, or threw the textbooks at each other. I thought are these the students we are trying to educate with taxpayers money. I have found that substitute teaching in these areas most of the Hispanic students do not want to be educated but rather be gang members and gangsters. They hate America and are determined to reclaim this area for Mexico. If we are able to remove the illegals out of our schools, the class sizes would be reduced and the students who wanted to learn would have a better chance to do so and become productive citizens.

I applaud and support your efforts to stop this invasion into our state and country. When the citizens of a country are forced to speak the invaders language, adopt their customs, and forced to support them, are we not a conquer nation? I do not want to see our state and nation turned into a third world country. Thank you for standing up to this invasion. You may contact me by phone, e-mail, or mail. Thank you, again.

Sincerely,

Tony Hill

D.A. King: Thursday Gold Dome anti-enforcement lunchtime rally worth the price of admission
D.A. King

March 23, 2011

How terrified is the anti-enforcement mob of actual compliance with American immigration and employment laws and passage of state legislation targeting Georgia’s illegal immigration crisis?

Georgia citizens, political observers, pundits, legislators (especially legislators) and all denizens of the Georgia Capitol should step outside the Gold Dome on Thursday to see the sound and fury of the open borders-pro illegal alien mob to find out.

Having escaped capture at our borders, some of the half-million or so illegal aliens in Georgia are coming out of the shadows and protesting American immigration laws in Atlanta, Georgia – USA. Again.

Do not look for federal authorities to arrest any of the self-described “undocumented” who will hold signs and model t-shirts reading “WE WILL NOT COMPLY!” and “AMNESTY FOR ALL WORKERS!” “NO BORDERS! – SIN FRONTERAS” and “ILLEGAL AND UNAFRAID.”

Such extreme enforcement action could cause a scene and be regarded as “profiling.”

Billed by the corporate funded, far-left coalition of sponsoring groups as a “RALLY FOR TRUTH – Marching for dignity” the 11:00 AM event on the Capitol steps will host thousands of illegals and the parasitic subversives who organize the potential political power of these victims of international borders, geography and immigration regulation.

For the organizers, defeating the legislation is integral to keeping their “oppressed” golden geese constituency in the Peach State.

The stated goal of the shindig (I hear the Indigo Girls – “acoustic folk rock with angst” – duo is attending) is to defeat passage of pending state legislation aimed at protecting jobs for legal workers and enforcement of American immigration laws in Georgia. The bills mentioned in the event flyer sent out by the various hosts are SB 40 and HB 87. Including SB 40 proves these folks don’t really read the legislation they oppose – they have little to fear from that one.

If previous similar events are any guide, the media will overlook coverage of the ever-present literature and placards from the Socialist Workers Party and the Communist Party of America.

Neither is any reporter likely to note the shameless affront to real immigrants offered up by these hucksters with howls that enforcement of immigration laws is somehow “anti-immigrant.”

And, in the frenzy of mindless race-baiting don’t look for the MSM to point out that “illegal” is not a race, but a crime. Or that most legal immigration into the U.S. comes from Mexico. Or that Mexico itself does a far more efficient, enthusiastic – and distinctly unapologetic – job of patrolling its own borders and enforcing its strict immigration laws.

Event sponsors include the ACLU and the American Immigration Lawyers Association, Atlanta Chapter. (Of course it does)

By way of an additional players guide, here is a brief rundown of just a few of the community organizers who stand to lose so much by the governor signing the Illegal Immigration Reform and Enforcement Act of 2011 – HB 87:

Jerry Gonzalez of the Georgia Association of Latino Elected Officials Inc. (GALEO). Gonzalez makes his loyalty and agenda clear with a last week’s admonition on the concept of English as the official language of the United States of America: “…there is no need for “English-only” or “English” as an official language of the United States. What we will see in the 2010 Census results once they are all finally released is that the Latino community is a growing and vibrant part of this nation’s future that must be respected. These types of ‘English-only’ provisions are an insult to our culture” he wrote.

Teodoro Maus, Mexican citizen, former Atlanta Mexican Consul General and current head of the Georgia Latino Alliance for Human Rights Inc. ( “The Georgia Latino Alliance For Human Rights condems (sic) HB 87 that criminalizes immigrants”) I once watched Maus assure an audience at a local university that “most illegal immigration comes from Canada.” This character is worth seeing.

Maus’ naturalized assistant, and notable anti-enforcement Socialist, Adelina Nichols (”Stop the raids and deportations!”) will be there too. In 2003 Nichols brought in two speakers from the Socialist Workers Party – including one of the party’s leaders, Roger Calero, to advise a meeting of “Georgians for Safer Roads,” an organization founded by…Jerry Gonzalez. The goal then was Georgia driver’s licenses for illegal aliens. Or just plain “immigrants” in the shameful Newspeak of the open borders crowd.

You can see a complete list of the organizers of Thursday’s lunchtime entertainment here . A flyer for the event here .

My advice: come on down to the Capitol, snag a hot dog and a coke from Oliver at the first-floor snack-bar and eat lunch outside while witnessing a brilliant example of Georgia’s future if the pending legislation in question were to fail or be gutted in the Senate. Don’t miss the pandering speeches from the participating legislators! Bring a camera!

I’ll be the big ugly bald guy with a sticker on my back that reads “KICK ME, I AM A CITIZEN!” Ask me for one.

LUNCH TIME ANTI-ENFORCEMENT/EDUCATIONAL EVENT: Capitol Steps, Washington Street, Atlanta, Thursday, March 24, 2011- 11:00 AM to 2:00 pm – or whenever the “YES WE CAN – SI SE PUEDA” chanting dies down. Free admission.

Immigration law protest planned for Thursday

Immigrants, students, religious groups and members of the civil rights community will gather Thursday at the state Capitol for a protest against legislation they perceive as being anti-immigrant.

Demonstrators express their opposition to proposed legislation that cracks down on illegal immigration during a protest at the state Capitol on March 3.

The organizers include members of the Georgia Latino Alliance for Human Rights and the Georgia Immigrant and Refugee Rights Coalition. They are protesting outside the Gold Dome against HB 87 and SB 40, so-called Arizona copycat laws. Opponents claim the bills will harm Georgia’s economy and encourage racial profiling.

The protest will be held from 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on the Capitol steps facing Washington Street.

I won’t be at all surprised if the AJC runs a reminder the day before the anti-enforcement protest…
