Action (constant pressure) needed to change the below little-known issues in GOP Georgia –

SCORECARD 2016 GENERAL ASSEMBLY ISSUES

Georgia has been issuing drivers licenses, official state photo ID cards and many public benefits (including unemployment eligibility) to illegal aliens since 2012. To date, about 20,000 illegal aliens who benefit from Obama’s executive action promising not to deport and to reward the illegals with a work permit and a real SSN have been issued a DL and or official Georgia ID. BTW: Georgia has more illegal aliens than Arizona!

According to the Obama administration and federal law, illegal aliens given a delay in deportation are still illegal aliens. According to the Obama administration, “Deferred action does not provide lawful status.” See HERE.

Last session, legislation to end this practice, SB 6 from Republican Senator Josh McKoon was never allowed even one hearing and an amendment to stop the DL reward was defeated on the floor of the super-majority Republican senate by an unrecorded vote. You cannot go back to any records and see how your senator voted. Of 38 Repubs, only 12 Georgia state senators co-sponsored SB 6. Only 4 supported McKoon’s effort for a recorded vote.

FYI – the un-recorded vote was also used to get to a final senate floor vote on the 2015 transportation tax hike.

For an easy to understand explanation of how illegals get a drivers license in Georgia, please see HERE. For a first-hand narrative of how the GOP senate defeated the McKoon amendment and insight into the practice of the unrecorded vote, please see HERE.

Because of the power of the Georgia Chamber of Commerce, the Metro-Atlanta Chamber of Commerce and the Ag industry, the chances of passing SB 6 as is are very slim. The GOP legislators are far more worried about the business lobby than the GOP voting base. Also, they know that most Georgians are unaware of the DL issue and the unrecorded vote practice in the senate. The DL the illegals get looks almost exactly like your DL – SEE HERE.
Maybe they won’t use it to register to vote as in North Carolina. What will come next? See HERE.

There is no bill in the Georgia House to stop giving illegals a DL or official state-issued ID.

Also, the move is on to reward the deferred action illegal aliens with instate tuition in taxpayer-funded Georgia universities. This would give them cheaper tuition than legal immigrants and U.S. citizens who live in Chattanooga, Panama City or any other state. The Democrat-sponsored bill on instate tuition for illegal aliens did get a hearing and is still alive in the senate.

McKoon will introduce a resolution to alter senate rules to discard the unrecorded vote – now known as “rise stand and be counted” and put all floor votes on the tally machine. Will your state Senator co-sponsor that effort toward transparency?

*Why are we giving drivers licenses and photo ID to illegal aliens in conservative Georgia?
*Why does the state senate have and use a rule allowing unrecorded votes?
*Why are illegal even in our finite-seat university system, at any tuition rate?
