*COMPLAINT

REQUEST FOR REVIEW AND/OR INVESTIGATION BY THE IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT REVIEW BOARD ESTABLISHED BY SECTION 20 OF THE ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION REFORM AND ENFORCEMENT ACT OF 2011 (HB 87)

As a Georgia citizen and registered voter I, D.A. King, herein make a valid and lawful complaint concerning violation of Georgia law (50 -36-1) regarding the crime of illegal immigration as related to actions by elected and or appointed officials, public employees and public agencies in Georgia.

I have read and understand the language of OCGA 50-36-3 establishing the Immigration Enforcement Review Board and further understand that the board is authorized to review violations by public officials, employees and agencies ONLY for possible violation of OCGA 13-10-91 (related to use of the federal E-Verify database), OCGA 36-80-23 (related to sanctuary policies for illegal aliens) and OCGA 50-36-1 (requirements for verification of eligibility for Public Benefits).

I hereby attest that I am a legal resident of the state of Georgia and a registered voter in Georgia.

My address is: ****** Marietta, Ga. 30066

My Georgia voter Registration Number is ************

My complaint is directed at clear violations by City of Atlanta in Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed and the Atlanta City Council members individually, and others.

I outline my complaint and request for investigation below.

I contend that the City of Atlanta is in violation of OCGA 50-36-1 in that it has in place a 2004 ordinance (04-0-0772) officially recognizing and accepting the Mexican government issued matricula consular “for purposes of establishing a positive identification” involving transactions and providing benefits and services which is direct conflict with state law.

In an attempt to prevent the illegal administration of Georgia’s public benefits and to reduce the drain on the shrinking state budget resulting from the crime of illegal immigration, OCGA 50-36-1 was modified in 2011 to require the presentation of at least one secure and verifiable ID document by applicants for many public benefits when those applicants swear to eligibility on a required affidavit. The law clearly refers to the definition of acceptable documents and also documents which are not acceptable, including the Mexican matricula consular, a form of ID needed only by individuals who are present in the United States in violation of American immigration laws. Legal residents possess legitimate forms of identification.

50-36-1 “

(e) (For effective date, see note.) An agency or political subdivision providing or administering a public benefit shall require every applicant for such benefit to:

(1) Provide at least one secure and verifiable document, as defined in Code Section 50-36-2;”

Definition from: 50-36-2:(3) “Secure and verifiable document” means a document issued by a state or federal jurisdiction or recognized by the United States government and that is verifiable by federal or state law enforcement, intelligence, or homeland security agencies. Secure and verifiable document shall not mean a Matricula Consular de Alta Seguridad, matricula consular card, consular matriculation card, consular identification card, or similar identification card issued by a foreign government regardless of the holder’s immigration status. Only those documents approved and posted by the Attorney General pursuant to subsection (f) of this Code section shall be considered secure and verifiable documents…”

It is my educated opinion, one that is shared by the Office of Intelligence of the FBI, that the acceptance of the matricula consular ID presents a threat to national security.

I ask that all legal avenues be pursued to insure that the elected and appointed officials and all employees of the City of Atlanta cease official acceptance of the matricula consular and similar consulate issued ID documents immediately, revoke the city ordinance described herein and come into compliance with state law or be held accountable.

I attach a copy of the City of Atlanta ordinance in question as well as additional educational information below

Please feel free to contact me for any further information.

*PLEASE NOTE: I have searched the Website of the Department of Audits and Accounts for a Review Board compliant form. I have created my own form, as I am unable to locate any official complaint form for submission to the Review Board, established by state law effective 1 July, 2011.

Signed: D. A. KING
