Republican Congressman Drew Furguson

Times-Georgian (Carroll County, Georgia) today: Letters to the editor

Dear Editor,

I was stunned to recently learn that my congressman, Drew Furgeson, is not a co-signer and apparently does not support a bill in Washington DC (HR 997) that is aimed at making English the official language of the United States. I cannot think of anything that would serve to unite our very diverse “nation of immigrants” more than a common and official language – and like most Americans, I proudly choose English. It is crazy that the USA has no official language.

HR 997 was introduced in early this year and now has more than forty co-sponsors. Amazingly, only three of these co-sponsors are from Georgia. Mr. Furguson is not one of them.

I am also dismayed and quite frustrated that Furguson is not helping with something called the Davis – Oliver Act, (HR 2431) which is named after two California law enforcement officers murdered by a criminal illegal alien. Among other things, the bill, introduced by conservative Republican Rep. Raul Labrador, would ensure that state and local law enforcement officials would always have the authority to enforce federal immigration laws. It would also end the ability of future presidents to shut down immigration enforcement for political purposes – as Barack Obama did.

It is beginning to be clear that many of the Republicans that real conservative Georgia voters send to Washington need constant supervision when it comes to choosing between the anti-enforcement lobby on immigration and the desires of the huge majority of Americans who want our government to operate in English.

How many languages can we assimilate to? Why are so few Georgia congressmen willing to help with passing the commonsense immigration enforcement promises that got President Trump elected? What about we the people? How many Americans must die at the hands of illegals before we take charge of our own country?
