Mary Ann Mendoza is a scheduled speaker at the Republican Convention tonight (Tuesday, August 25). Mary Ann is an Angel Mom and will be speaking on behalf of all American families that have lost loved ones to illegal immigration and honoring her son, Brandon, a police officer who was killed in 2014 by a drunk illegal alien.

Mary Ann can be seen here giving a preview of tonight’s convention speech.

We were extremely proud that Mary Ann traveled from her home in Arizona to be a featured speaker at the Dustin Inman Society’s immigration forum in Atlanta, “Honoring Immigrants: An Expert, Pro-Enforcement Discussion on Immigration” in Atlanta, February 7, 2020.

Former Acting ICE Director Tom Homan was our featured speaker. Atlanta media did not cover our event. Neither did the discredited SPLC.

Mary Ann gave a heartbreaking account of her son’s death and pointed out the national changes needed to save future deaths at the hands of illegal aliens and the fact that all illegal alien crime is preventable. Mary Ann has been a faithful friend and incredible help to Billy and Kathy Inman, Dustin Inman’s parents. Billy passed away in 2019. See “Who was Dustin Inman.”

We also note that one of our board members, Sabine Durden-Coulter, was a speaker at the 2016 Republican Convention that nominated Donald Trump for President. Sabine’s son, Dominic, was a 30-year-old sheriff’s office dispatcher, hit and killed by an illegal alien driver in 2012. Dominic was on his his motorcycle. Sabine is also an Angel Mom and offered her opinion on illegal immigration and American families and the Democrat convention that took lace last week on Fox News.

“They want to flood our country with illegals and non-citizens and us Americans, who paid into the system, we’re supposed to pay for that. That’s wrong, it can’t happen, and it won’t happen,” Durden-Coulter told “Fox & Friends First” last Friday.

“They are telling us that is more important to them and every American needs to wake up because what happened to myself and thousands of other Americans who suffered the same tragedy like myself they need to wake up,” Durden-Coulter said.

Georgia state Rep Vernon Jones

Vernon Jones (L), D.A. King at a 2007 DIS Atlanta rally against immigration amnesty.

We were overjoyed to see our old friend Georgia state Rep Vernon Jones give a rousing and moving speech at last night’s (Monday) GOP gathering. Rep Jones has been a friend of DIS since 2007 when he attended one of our Atlanta rallies against a repeat of the failed 1986 “one-time” amnesty for illegal aliens and illegal employers.

Rep Jones, a Democrat, was a leading co-sponsor of anti-sanctuary city legislation, HB1083, introduced in the Georgia General Assembly in the 2020 session. After a hard but successful fight against  the discredited and disgraced SPLC and the anti-borders GALEO, to see the bill pass out of committee, the Republican Speaker did not allow a floor vote of the lifesaving bill.

Additional photos of then-Commissioner Jones at our lunch-time pro-enforcement rally outside the offices of then-U.S. Senator Saxby Chambliss can be seen here (page 2). You can see and hear Rep Jones’ entire speech last night below.

The below open records request was sent via email on August 18, 2020 at 11:26 AM. The initial response is posted here.

_

Mr. Mitchell,

Please regard this email as my official request for copies of Georgia Department of Labor (GDOL) documents and records under state public records law.

I note that GDOL has an entry on its website (FAQs) informing readers that GDOL uses the Georgia Department of Drivers Services (DDS) to verify the lawful presence required by state law (OCGA 50-36-1) for aliens to qualify for public benefits.

“What is the Applicant Status Affidavit?

Georgia law requires that all applicants for UI benefits who are 18 years of age or older attest they are:

• a United States citizen, or
• a legal permanent resident, or
• a non-citizen legally present in the United States.

The GDOL performs electronic verification of your lawful presence in the United States with the Georgia Department of Driver Services (DDS). The DDS validates the identity of individuals who indicate they have a Georgia-issued driver’s license or identification card.”

State law (OCGA 50-36-1) passed in 2006 and amended in 2009, 2011, 2012, 2013 mandates that this verification process for lawful presence be done using the federal SAVE program operated by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).

1) Please send me a copy of any authorization or replacement law that would alter the GDOL requirement for SAVE verification and/or change verification source to DDS – including bill number, year passed into law and code section.

2) Please send me copies of any and all GDOL documents, emails, memorandums or policy files that pertain to or mention GDOL requesting or discussing a change in state law regarding GDOL’s direct use of the SAVE program and transferring the lawful presence verification to DDS with a time frame of from 1 January 2013 to 15 August 2020.

3) Please send me a copy of any agreement, MOU/MOA between USCIS and GDOL authorizing GDOL to use the SAVE program including original agreement and all renewals from July 1, 2006 to 15 August, 2020.

4) Please send me a copy of any official agreement between GDOL and DDS pertaining to DDS being the source and authority of verification of lawful presence of non-citizen applicants who apply for public benefits at GDOL – including any email, memorandums or proposals for GDOL to use DDS to verify lawful presence of GDOL applicants for public benefits.

5) Please send me a copy of any document that may illustrate the most recent date of a GDOL query to the SAVE program for verification of lawful presence of an applicant for the public benefit of unemployment insurance or other public benefit administered by GDOL.

6) Please send me copies of any/all internal GDOL email or memorandums or policy discussions that mention ‘Permanent Residence Under Color of Law’ (PRUCOL) including GDOL policy on PRUCOL creating eligibility for lawful presence or unemployment insurance and any correspondence between GDOL and DDS pertaining to PRUCOL.

7) Please send me a copies of any document or electronic form that serves as a transmittal of information from GDOL to DDS of information gathered from GDOL collected applications for unemployment insurance benefits.

8) Please send me copies of any and all internal email, memorandums, policy statement or records or correspondence pertaining to or mentioning federal deferred action on deportation or the Obama-invented DACA program for illegal aliens with a time frame of 1 July, 2012 to 15 August, 2020.

9) Please send me copies of any emails, memorandums or inquiries that ask for information on GDOL administering and or issuing unemployment insurance benefits for illegal aliens who have DACA status or other deferred action on deportation status.

10) Please send me copies of any/all GDOL emails, memorandums or internal correspondence pertaining to or mentioning the March 6, 2019 Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals finding that DACA recipients do not have lawful presence or legal status and are inadmissible and removable under the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). For clarity, I link to that finding here.

11) Please send me any record or document that shows the response code received from the SAVE program to a query from GDOL on immigration status of an applicant with DACA status for unemployment insurance.

12) Please send any document, record, table or index that shows all possible responses and codes used by the SAVE program to answer GDOL queries on immigration status for applicants for public benefits including unemployment insurance benefits.

Please contact me at any time with questions on my request. Please expect this request to be one of several with a goal of gaining a clear and accurate understanding of GDOL policy and operations on administering public benefits/unemployment insurance.

Thank you for a timely reply. I look forward to your itemized estimate of research costs for my request.

Respectfully,

D.A. King

Marietta, GA.

A reply to questions on illegal aliens with DACA ability to qualify for a Georgia Weapons Carry License (WCL) from a Probate Judge in a Metro-Atlanta area county

“A person who is a non-immigrant alien – like someone who is here on some type of temporary status, be it for school or work – can qualify for Weapons Carry License provided they are in good standing with ICE and can show they meet one of the exceptions found at 18 U.S.C. §922(y)(2), one of which would be a person holding a valid hunting license. I’m not sure what a person who is a DACA recipient is categorized as, but if it’s a non-immigrant alien then I would assume they could receive a WCL (provided the exception is shown).”

And

“For us, it all depends on what information we are provided by ICE. When a person comes in to apply for a WCL and they are NOT a U.S. citizen (such as a permanent resident or a non-immigrant alien), we are required to run a check through ICE to determine that person’s status. If ICE says they are not here legally or they are subject to deportation proceedings, they are not issued a WCL because they are not able to possess or ship a weapon in interstate commerce and are, thus, prohibited from receiving a WCL pursuant to O.C.G.A. §16-11-129(b)(2)(E) . If ICE says they are a non-resident alien validly here, then we don’t issue them a WCL unless they show that they meet one of the exceptions under 18 U.S.C. §922(y)(2) – which would realistically only be a person possessing a valid hunting license. I don’t know how ICE categorizes DACA cases in terms of these searches – I only know the information they give me on whether their status is as far as ICE is concerned.

I should add that I look at every application of a person who is not a U.S. citizen and can say that, in my 11 + years as judge, I can count on one hand the number of non-resident aliens that have applied for and received a WCL. In fact, I think there have only been two – one guy from the UK and one guy from Italy. There may have been others who have applied but either did not qualify because ICE said they weren’t here legally or they did qualify but have never shown they have met one of the exceptions (such as providing a hunting license).”

“Dreamer” Dreams of the Right to Own a Gun

Dream on, says a federal district court.

EUGENE VOLOKH |THE VOLOKH CONSPIRACY | 6.28.2018

Kevin Ugurit Fierro-Morales is being prosecuted for possessing a short-barreled shotgun, and for possessing a firearm while “being an alien” “illegally or unlawfully in the United States” (in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(5)(A)). But when he was arrested, he was covered by the Defered Action for Childhood Arrivals program—should that lead him to be treated as lawfully present, and as entitled to Second Amendment rights? (Set aside the separate charge short-barreled shotgun charge for now.)

No and no, a federal district court in San Diego held Tuesday. First, DACA made clear that President Obama’s action didn’t itself confer legal status: “[T]he provisions of DACA promising to defer removal and to authorize work did not confer lawful immigration status or create ambiguity as to the prohibitions of § 922(g)(5)(A).”

Second, the Second Amendment applies only to the responsible and law-abiding, whether just “responsible, law-abiding citizens” or also responsible, law-abiding permanent residents or even responsible, law-abiding temporary visitors. (The court doesn’t decide on the rights of legal aliens.) Congress may ban “possession of firearms by an alien in the United States with no legal status,” and DACA recipients don’t have legal status. (I’m oversimplifying the court’s Second Amendment discussion a bit, but that’s the gist.) Here.

“In this case, the Court concludes that Defendant’s acceptance into DACA announced by the Department of Homeland Security did not alter his immigration status or materially impact the determination whether he is “illegally or unlawfully in the United States” pursuant to § 922(g)(5)(A).

As in Abramski, there is nothing suggesting that Congress intended to exclude aliens “illegally or unlawfully in the United States” accepted in the DACA Program from the statutory provision in § 922(g)(5)(A). See Latu, 479 F.3d at 1159 (“absent a statute preventing Latu’s removability upon the filing of his application for adjustment status, we can envision no interpretation that renders Latu’s presence anything other than ‘illegal[] or unlawful[].’”).

Illegal Immigrants with Deferred Action Can Get a Georgia Driver’s License

Betts & Associates

August 25, 2012

Not having a valid driver’s license is a significant obstacle for many undocumented workers. The driver’s license is an important way to get to jobs or school, but also much needed form of identification. Until a few years ago, getting a driver’s license was possible for all Georgia residents who could pass the written and road tests. But a national crackdown lead by anti-immigration forces, change that. Now, when applying for a license, you must present your full social security number, and proof of U.S. citizenship or lawful presence in the United States, which is not possible for those who were brought to this country as children and who are currently lacking lawful status. For those immigrants who obtain work permits under the deferred action plan created by President Obama, getting a Georgia driver’s license has become possible.

This week Attorney General Sam Olens wrote a letter to Georgia Governor Nathan Deal. The Associated Press reports that AG Olens, a Republican said in the letter, “While I do not agree with the actions of the President in issuing the directive, it has been implemented by the Department of Homeland Security, USCIS (U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services), and state law recognizes the approval of deferred action status as a basis for issuing a temporary driver’s license.” According to the article, this letter came after “a Georgia Department of Driver Services spokeswoman said last week that Georgia law considers those with deferred action status eligible for driver’s licenses and added that the agency would issue them unless it got other instructions.”

Although it might seem like this would be a universal decision, in many states governors are taking the opposite action and expressly barring their Departments of Motor Vehicles from issuing license. Not surprisingly, Arizona Governor Jan Brewer is refusing to grant licenses. Following her lead are Nebraska and Texas. Though it is not completely clear if Governor Deal will follow the recommendation of his AG and the Georgia DDS, by seeking their guidance it suggests that he is interested in following their recommendations, particularly because to do otherwise would be at odds with his own party’s Attorney General.

In order to obtain a driver’s license in Georgia, a person will have to first apply and qualify for deferred action. Information on apply for these programs and how Betts and Associates might be able to help you can be found here and here. Once you have your work permit, you would then be eligible to apply.

Like any new driver, deferred action participants would first need to get a permit. and then after the required wait time, could apply for a license.

Drive safe and good luck!

What is the Applicant Status Affidavit?
Georgia law requires that all applicants for UI benefits who are 18 years of age or older attest they are:

a United States citizen, or
a legal permanent resident, or
a non-citizen legally present in the United States.

–>The GDOL performs electronic verification of your lawful presence in the United States with the Georgia Department of Driver Services (DDS). The DDS validates the identity of individuals who indicate they have a Georgia-issued driver’s license or identification card.

If completion of the affidavit is required, you must present valid government-issued picture identification to a GDOL representative to complete the affidavit and have it notarized. If you are not a citizen of the United States, you must also present acceptable, unexpired employment authorization document(s). The GDOL will verify your registration status with the U. S. Department of Homeland Security. You cannot receive benefit payments until your lawful presence in the U.S. is verified.
