United States Supreme Court on the four sections of Arizona illegal immigration law:

1. YES – Portion of Section 2 of S.B. 1070, codified as A.R.S. § 11-1051(B): requiring that an officer make a reasonable attempt to determine the immigration status of a person stopped, detained or arrested if there is a reasonable suspicion that the person is unlawfully present in the United States, and requiring verification of the immigration status of any person arrested prior to releasing that person ( Ga. law only allows, not requires, police to check imm status when investigating violation of state or federal law)

Constitution shredded…but GOP mostly silent on reversing amnesty

Like most Americans, this writer has a certain amount of sympathy for young people whose parents put them in the “illegal alien” category. But not to the extent that I am willing to silently watch any panicked president run the Constitution of United States through the White House shredder or openly convert the remains of the republic of our founders into a third-world dictatorship because of fading re-election numbers.

Now, let’s be clear: Obama’s recent vote procurement, anti-enforcement decree is not only about whether the United States government will enforce our immigration laws. And despite what the political left and the despicable Obama-enabling liberal media — along with a whimpering collection of mindless, knee-jerk fools who describe themselves as “conservatives” — would have us think, Congress has acted on the DREAM Act amnesty for illegal aliens. The failed legislation is not “in limbo.”

Three times in 11 years the nation’s legislative body has said “No” to the DREAM Act amnesty — including a Congress that was fully controlled by Democrats.

In a frantic search for votes, and not happy with the answer, scepter in hand, Barack Hussein Obama has also acted. Like a third-world dictator.

Since Inauguration Day, the multi-national (and largely corporate funded) illegal alien lobby has been demanding that the president set aside enforcement of any American immigration laws that do not further their amnesty-again agenda.

“Dear Ruler” finally complied last week in a transparent and sickening act of pandering. This, less than a year after he acknowledged that his constitutional duty is to enforce the law — even immigration law. Even for Hispanics. Etch-a-Sketch analogy, anyone?

Americans looking for a better life watch as far too many Republicans — including presidential candidate Mitt Romney — remain mostly silent or inactive. When asked for reaction on the refusal of the president to fulfill his sworn oath of office on immigration enforcement, Georgia’s GOP Gov., Nathan Deal, boldly referred questions to the state’s congressional delegation.

We should all listen carefully to their responses.

Georgia ranks sixth in the nation in the population of illegal aliens and last year Deal quoted reports that illegal immigration is costing the state more than $2 billion annually.

Has anyone seen news reports of the outraged protests and “We the People! …” press releases against the illegal Obama amnesty from a single Tea Party group?

Conservative Iowa Republican congressman Steve King put it just right when he told CNN that “This is no longer a debate about immigration policy. The debate is now about the constitution and the rule of law. Americans should be outraged that President Obama is planning to usurp the constitutional authority of the United States Congress and grant amnesty by edict to 1 million illegal aliens,” he said. “There is no ambiguity in Congress about whether the DREAM Act’s amnesty program should be the law of the land. It has been rejected by Congress, and yet President Obama has decided that he will move forward with it anyway.”

Rep. King has promised to bring suit against the president and ask for a court to enjoin him from implementing his unconstitutional and unlawful policy. He needs help.

News for the media: the “one million illegal aliens to be affected” estimate is actually quite low.

As my friend Roy Beck of the Washington D.C.–based, pro-enforcement American worker defense organization NumbersUSA writes on the Fox News website, “And the increase in the labor supply will not be small. Most news reports at first suggested that around 800,000 illegal aliens would benefit from the president’s offer of job permits. But that is a misinterpretation of estimates in 2010 about the effect of the DREAM Act amnesty that the lame duck Senate defeated. There were nearly 2 million illegal aliens who could qualify for the provisional part of the amnesty because they were in high school, in college or had already graduated from college. But only about 800,000 were expected to actually end up as college graduates and qualify for the permanent amnesty.

“Because the new Obama amnesty would not require college graduation, the 800,000 figure is no longer valid. All 2 million would qualify. In addition, the Obama amnesty would not require a person to even go to college, which would add hundreds of thousands more illegal aliens to the beneficiary list.”

Want to see 40-something illegal aliens who escaped capture at the border last week “document” that they are really 29 year-old, victimized graduates of high school in Any Town USA … through a government provided translator? Just watch the “let me show you my papers” fraud coming if this travesty of a mockery of a sham is allowed to move forward. And while Republicans run the U.S. House. And in a presidential election year.

D.A. King is a nationally recognized authority on illegal immigration and president of the Cobb-based Dustin Inman Society. He is not a member of any political party.

Jessica Colotl makes it clear – candidate Obama’s pandering only first step to a repeat of the “comprehensive immigration reform” amnesty of 1986.

GEORGIA HAS MORE ILLEGALS THAN DOES ARIZONA AND RANKS NUMBER SIX IN THE NATION IN ILLEGAL POPULATION. THE LOW ESTIMATE IS THAT 7% OF GEORGIA’S WORKFORCE IS BLACK-MARKET LABOR. UNEMPLOYMENT IS ABOVE 8%. ENGLISH IS AN OPTIONAL LANGUAGE. TO SAVE MONEY AND WHILE ACCEPTING TAX SUBSIDIES, GEORGIA FARMERS DEMAND THEY BE ALLOWED TO IGNORE FEDERAL AND STATE LAW ON IMMIGRATION AND EMPLOYMENT BY HIRING ILLEGAL ALIENS IN PLACE OF LEGAL, TEMPORARY GUEST WORKERS. LAST SPRING, ABOUT 5000 ANGRY SCREAMING ILLEGAL ALIENS JOINED OTHER LOCAL ANTI-ENFORCEMENT SOCIALISTS TO MARCH ON THE STATE CAPITOL WHILE PROMISING – IN A FOREIGN LANGUAGE – REVENGE IF THEY ARE GRANTED ANOTHER AMNESTY AND THE RIGHT TO VOTE. DESPITE CLEAR FEDERAL DEFINITIONS, THE ILLEGAL ALIEN LOBBY INSULTS REAL, LEGAL IMMIGRANTS BY REFERRING TO ILLEGAL ALIENS AS “IMMIGRANTS.” MEDIA REPORTS SELDOM TAKE A PRO-AMERICAN PRESPECTIVE WHEN COVERING THE CRISIS. THE U.S. TAKES IN MORE LEGAL IMMIGRANTS THAN ANY NATION IN THE WORLD.

Currently, Ga. law allows illegal aliens to claim legal presence by presenting “undocumented passports” which are foreign issued passports they obtain at their nation’s consulate in Atlanta after escaping capture by U.S. Border Patrol Agents and making their way to Georgia. These passports do not contain the required stamps or documents proving legal entry and are proof that the bearer is here in violation of the law. In the 2012 session, SB 458, a bill that would have ended the official acceptance of undocumented passports as proof of lawful immigration status failed to see a final vote.

As a member of the Georgia legislature, will you advocate for, co-sponsor and publicly support the coming reintroduction of the legislation removing undocumented foreign passports from Georgia’s official “Secure and Verifiable documents” list?

SB458 (as well as HB 59, which was held up in committee) also contained language that would halt the admission of illegal aliens into Georgia’s tax-funded public universities and Tech Schools. To insure that legally present immigrants and American citizens were not denied classroom seats taken by illegal aliens who are legally prevented from employment anywhere in the USA, during the campaign in 2010, Governor Deal promised to “do everything possible” to keep illegals out of Georgia’s University System.

As a member of the Georgia legislature, will you advocate for, co-sponsor and publicly support coming legislation designed to finally end the taxpayer funding of post-secondary education of illegal aliens in Georgia?

Bonus info for Georgia voters:

2012’s SENATE BILL 458 HAD PLENTY OF VOTES TO PASS – 2012 WAS THE FIRST YEAR SINCE 2004 THAT THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY DID NOT PASS ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION LEGISLATION

1) Current state law requires agencies that administer public benefits (including the SOS office and most counties and municipalities and many other official agencies) to collect proof of eligibility (US citizenship or lawful alien status) each time an individual applies for a public benefit, including renewal of that benefit. While non-citizens legal presence and benefit eligibility can change due to visa expiration or immigration law violation, for the most part, U.S. citizenship status does not change. U.S. citizens should only have to prove that status one time in any one agency. Making this correction will relive effected agencies workload by about 80 –90%. Aliens would continue to be required to prove eligibility. SB 458 would have remedied that problem.

2) The AG’s office has excluded birth certificates from the list of acceptable Secure and Verifiable ID documents. Right now and since Jan 1st, literally all drivers’ license and marriage license issuing agencies in Georgia are in violation of the law because they logically accept birth certificates to issue their licenses. SB 458 would have remedied that problem by adding birth certificates to the list.

3) The AG’s office now says that the provision in existing law that allows that office to add to or alter the official list of public benefits is at the least, problematic. SB 458 would have remedied that problem.

4) UNDOCUMENTED PASSPORTS! The AG’s office has made foreign passports Secure and Verifiable ID – but not required that those passports have federal documents attached proving lawful entry into the U.S. Illegal aliens, having escaped capture at the border, simply go to their respective consulates in Atlanta and then get a passport. This completely nullifies the intent and effect of banning the acceptance of Mexican matricula consular and other consulate IDs issued by foreign governments inside the USA last year with HB 87. It allows illegal aliens to seem “documented.” Taking away the ability of illegal aliens to present accepted ID is second only to taking away their employment in encouraging them to migrate out of Georgia. SB 458 would have remedied that problem by requiring proof of lawful entry in officially accepted foreign passports.

5) Note: Since enactment of federal law of 1940, there are no circumstances under which an adult non-citizen (alien) present in the USA is not required to have proof of legal presence on his person at all times. Also, there are about 30 nations for which the federal government waives the visa requirement to enter the US, but even then, there is an entry document issued and stamped (I-94W) and attached to the alien’s passport demonstrating lawful entry and date of required departure.

6) ILLEGAL ALIENS IN GEORGIA’S UNIVERSITY SYSTEM: Originally, the as-passed House Judiciary (non-civil) committee version of SB 458 contained language that banned illegal aliens from the all USG schools – not just the five that Regents policy currently affects. A policy that can be changed at any time. The House committee reinserted language that had been removed in the Senate. Despite the repeated campaign promise from Governor Deal to “do everything possible” to keep illegals out of the university system, he remained silent during the entire session except to have staff tell callers that the ban was “unnecessary.”
SB 458 was held up in House Rules committee until an amendment was created to remove the university ban for illegal aliens. The version that would have been voted on in the House would not have contained the post secondary education language. Leadership refused to move the bill with the college ban.

7) Who wanted and needed SB 458 to pass and lobbied extensively on Day 40 to get the bill out of the House and back to the Senate for a final OK? Believe it or not, because of the fixes for proof of US citizenship and birth certificates and the workload reduction SB 458 would have represented, in addition to countless pro-enforcement Georgians begging the Speakers office and House members, making calls and sending faxes and emails in favor of SB 458, very powerful entities were also heavily in favor. Including: The AG office, ACCG/GMA, SOS office, Ga. Dept. of Drivers Services, DOL, the Georgia Chamber of Commerce. But not the Agriculture industry. And as far as anyone can see, not Governor Deal’s office. By D.A. King
