Georgia should do more about immigration

DEAR EDITOR:

A recent national poll reveals that government and immigration are the two top issues on the minds of Americans. This should not come as a surprise to anyone paying attention, especially here in Georgia and Cobb County.

Through reading the tireless work of immigration expert D.A. King, I have seen data from DHS that Georgia has more illegal aliens than Arizona. It follows that we also have more unscrupulous employers who hire the illegals than Arizona. On his informative new website, ImmigrationPoliticsGA, I see the astonishing fact that Georgia is also home to more illegal aliens than green-card holders, and that our state illegal immigration laws are largely ignored. That is how far we have declined.

Illegal immigration is not a ā€œfederal issue.ā€ Not many of us have forgotten the scandal involved with the illegal labor working on the Cobb courthouse construction. While the local media coverage of illegal immigration in Georgia seems to have faded to nearly zero, the issue of illegal immigration should not fade from the attention of state and county leaders, or from the MDJ opinion page.

Years ago, Cobb County joined the federal IMAGE program to help ensure that there were no illegal aliens working directly for the county. After praising the program, then-Chairman Tim Lee reversed course and killed the effort to require county contractors to use the IMAGE system of audits and best practices to ensure that taxpayer money isnā€™t going to pay illegal aliens who work for the vendors and contractors. County Commissioners should take up the fight to use all the tools provided to fight illegal employment of illegal workers if they want to claim to be responsible stewards of our tax dollars and our county. Contractors should be required to be IMAGE-certified just like Cobb County is and for the same reasons.

The opinion page of MDJ was once a leader in the fight against illegal immigration. We wonder what happened to change that. Illegal immigration is crime.

To: Immigration Enforcement Review Board

Re; Appeal of boardā€™s final decision on complaint 2017-01 (Gwinnett County School District) made on December 5, 2018

I am filing this appeal to the boardā€™s decision despite the Chairmanā€™s statement that no appeal would be allowed in the letter I received on December 22, 2018 memorializing the boardā€™s action.

Chairman Balli claims the decision was made by the full board and as such is exempt from the appeal process under the IERBā€™s rules. I dispute that claim. By law, the IERB consists of seven members.

The official Meeting Summary (marked ā€œAā€) posted on the Audits and Accounts website for this meeting shows lists only six members and shows that three members were present at the meeting and one member called in via telephone.

I also note that the Meeting Agenda (marked ā€œBā€) posted on the Audits and Accounts website for the December 5, 2018 meeting excluded any notice of any planned consideration of the many complaints I had pending. For this reason, I did not attend. When Balli convened the meeting and saw I was not in attendance and could not present evidence or address the partial board, Balli offered a motion to amend his agenda, got it passed by members who know nothing of the issue surrounding the complaints and then was successful in convincing the members who were in attendance to dismiss the complaints based on far-fetched and easily proven false concepts of immigration law, both state and federal.

I have documentation that clearly disproves Balliā€™s argument that was the basis for dismissal and have sent those points to the board at least twice in the past. I am appealing for an opportunity to present the facts that prove Balliā€™s reasoning presented to the other members to be inaccurate.

I note that by law (OCGA 50-36-3), IERB members are permitted to serve two terms of two years per term. Member Terry Clark, was originally appointed to the board in July, 2011. I contend that Clark has served and voted on the IERB without authority and in violation of state law since July, 2015. I further contend that this alone is grounds for invalidation of all decisions Clark voted on since July 2015.

I also note that originally being appointed to the IERB by the Speaker of the House in 2014 with specific language that Balli was to serve until ā€œJuly 2015 or until successor is duly appointedā€ that Balli is serving as a IERB member and Chairman without authority and in violation of state law (OCGA 50-36-3). I also note that having used Georgia open records law to request a copy of any document that show any reappointment of Chairman Balli, no such document has been produced. Indeed, if such document exists, it could not lawfully reappoint Balli to serve beyond July, 2017. I contend that any decisions made by the board in which Balli voted or Chaired after that date are invalid and unlawful.

I also note that as of this writing, on December 31, 2018, Balli has called for a special meeting of the IERB for January 8, 2019 but not divulged any agenda saying in the announcement that the agenda (marked ā€œCā€) is to be determined.

Along with noting the board has dismissed valid complaints in the past without allowing me to present evidence or even speak when I did attend the hearing, I note the January 8, 2019 special meeting to illustrate the unprofessional and illegal habits of the board.
