Regarding question number four, to answer that you do what other agencies do is not a specific answer to my question. I am looking for a specific answer as to what code or response from SAVE does DOL receive for DACA recipients.
My question was and still is “Please tell me the code or response from the USCIS-operated SAVE verification program to the query from your office when a non-citizen with DACA makes an application for unemployment benefits if DACA status is known or noted during processing. I am aware that other issuing agencies receive a response of “employment authorized” from SAVE when making immigration status queries for DACA recipients.”
So, let me state my question again:
What is the code(s) and/or response(s) GA DOL receives from USCIS’s SAVE verification program on an immigration status query, originating from GA DOL offices, for DACA recipients?
Please reply ASAP as you have already had approximately one month to respond to these simple questions.
Regards,

DOL response in bold.
(Q) Does the information from GBPI coincide with policy and practice in your office – does your office accept unexpired EADs from DACA recipients as proof of lawful presence?
If the claimant has a valid work permit, appropriate government issued identification and has sufficient wages in the base period, then the claimant will have a valid claim with eligibility to be determined.
(Q) Does your office accept, process and/or qualify UI applications from non-citizens with DACA?
To have a valid claim, all non-citizen claimant must have a valid work permit or appropriate government issued identification
(Q) I am aware that each EAD contains a status code from USCIS. Does your office use that code in inspecting and processing applications from non-citizens?
No

UPDATE # 2 – After sending an open records request to both city of Braselton (where the AJC tells readers Vital Foods plant is located) and to city of Gainesville, which is the address on the Vital Foods website, I received response from both informing me that the business is not located in either place – but in Hall County. So I sent a request directly to Hall County Business License Director Susan Rector. I admit that my request could have been more clear on the fact that I am looking for copies of the required documents for original issue AND annual renewals. I sent this August 17, 2020 10:37PM:
Using the time frame 2011 through and including 2020, please respond to this request with copies of all documents pertaining to the application for business license for Vital Foods LLC, including application, SAVE affidavit, E-Verify affidavit and Secure and Verifiable ID used to prove identity. I understand that ID copies may be partially redacted.
I am willing to pay all lawfully appraised research and or copy fees.
Please respond electronically. Please contact me with any questions.
Thank you,

What I received – only copies of documents from 2017 – is posted here. It cost me $21.96. none of the documents Hall Co Business License Dept uses are in compliance with the state law. More on the soon.
After reading a news report in the liberal AJC yesterday, I have sent open records requests (around 1;15 PM) to both the city of Braselton and the city of Gainesville asking for a look into Vital Foods poultry processing plant which the AJC says is in Braselton. According to the Vital Foods website, they are located in Gainesville.
Also, in the liberal AJC news piece, they say “many immigrants” cannot get Social Security Numbers. Which is nonsense. I also sent the below letter to the editor with little hope of publication.
Dear editor,
A recent AJC news story focused on Hispanics, “immigrants” and the Covid pandemic informs readers that some testing labs require Social Security Numbers and that “many immigrants don’t have them.” This assertion is another in an endless flow from the liberal media aimed at blurring the lines between immigrants and illegal aliens.
Real immigrants should have no problem obtaining an SSN. “Generally, only noncitizens authorized to work in the United States by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) can get Social Security numbers, which are used to report a person’s wages to the government and to determine a person’s eligibility for Social Security benefits” (SSA).
It is true that illegal aliens working illegally don’t have their own SSNs, but they do use stolen numbers – it’s called identity theft.
Not for the first time, we offer AJC editors a foolproof method of discerning the difference between immigrants and illegal aliens: Immigrants do not require amnesty.

John Lewis:
“Good afternoon, my sisters and brothers. Thank you to every one of you for being here. As Martin Luther King Jr said on one occasion, “There’s not anything more powerful than the commitment and the dedication of a determined people.” You are determined.
You, you must not give up. You must not give in. Continue to do everything possible to keep this bill from passing [crosstalk 00:00:44]. Many, many years ago, when I had all of my hair and a few pounds lighter. When I was involved, counseling in the civil rights movement, I got arrested a few times, 40 times.
I was beaten, left bloodied but I didn’t give up, and you must not give up. [crosstalk 00:01:22] immigration, it’s not a state issue, it is not a county issue, it is not a city issue, it is the issue of the National Government and not the Government of the state of Georgia.
As a matter of fact, we all are brothers and sisters. It doesn’t matter whether we’re Black, White, Latino, Asian American, Native American we’re one people, we’re one family.
We all live in the same house, if any one of us is illegal then we all are illegal. There’s no illegal human being. I’ve said over and over again, all across America, we must say out to the state of Georgia and to other states that we do not want Arizona-type legislation here in the state of Georgia.
So, keep it up. If any of you get arrested and go to jail, I’m prepared to get arrested and go to jail with you. If one of us are arrested, if one of us are put in jail, we all should be put in jail. The jails in Georgia, the jails of America are not large enough to hold all of us.
Get out there. Get out there. Make some noise, work hard and we will get justice here in the state of Georgia and all around America. Organize. Organize. Speak up, speak out, keep the faith.”
Some politicians are using Covid as an excuse to import more foreign workers…
Please read the news piece below then call the office of Republican Georgia Senator David Perdue ASAP as outlined below from our friends at NumbersUSA?

Fill Medical Shortage with Unmatched U.S. Doctors, Not 40K More Foreign Workers
Breitbart News
July 29, 2020
The group Doctors Without Jobs is asking Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) to allow American doctors, unmatched for residencies, to fill job shortages in the United States medical industry rather than importing an additional 40,000 foreign nurses and physicians.
Sens. David Perdue (R-GA), Dick Durbin (D-IL), Todd Young (R-IN), Chris Coons (D-DE), and Patrick Leahy (D-VT) and Reps. Tom Cole (R-OK), Don Bacon (R-NE), Brad Schneider (D-IL), and Abby Finkenauer (D-IA) are lobbying to pass the Healthcare Workforce Resilience Act to give about 40,000 unused green cards to foreign nurses and physicians to take U.S. healthcare jobs…. read the rest here.
Then please see the message from NumbersUSA below and call Senator Perdue! 202-224-3521 ——— then email him here.
This is not a conservative bill!

Aug. 3rd, 2020 ACTION ALERT Urge your Senators to oppose adding visa giveaway legislation to next Covid-19 relief bill
Dear activists,
Our Capitol hill team has learned that there’s a new push to include S. 3599, the Healthcare Workforce Resilience Act, to the upcoming Coronavirus relief bill.
S. 3599 was introduced by a bipartisan group of Senators, including Sens. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) and David Perdue (R-Ga.) and would issue up to 40,000 unused green cards to foreign doctors and nurses. While a few Covid-19 hotspots may have faced doctor and nurse shortages, thousands of medical personnel across the country faced furloughs during the height of the pandemic. There is no need to import more foreign doctors and nurses.
Please call your U.S. Senators and urge them to oppose adding S. 3599, the Healthcare Workers Resilience Act, to the Senate’s COVID-19 relief bill.
OANN interview, July , 2020. Transcription by Rev.com
Intro voice:
A Georgia Senator, Kelly Loeffler, has come under fire recently for opposing the WNBA’s frequent protests during the National Anthem. One America’s Jack Posobiec sat down with her to learn more.
Jack P:
All right, Senator Loeffler, thank you so much for sitting down with us here with One America News.
Kelly Loeffler:
Yeah. Great to be with you, the- Jack. Thanks for having me on.
Jack P:
Now, I wanted to ask, so you’re obviously, you know, very associated with the WNBA, you’re a co-owner of a team there out of Atlanta, and you had some strong words recently for a protest that took place during, or actually before the National Anthem. Tell me about that?
Kelly Loeffler:
Well you’re right. I am a- a co-owner of the WNBA Atlanta Dream. You know sports has such power to unite us, and I- I felt some of the recent actions that the league has taken has really, um, moved to divide us further at this moment, when I think, sports could be such a powerful, uniting force in our- in our country. And when the players refuse to, um, stay on the court for the, um, National Anthem, of all things, that they did not feel that this was the right thing to do, um, I had to speak out. Because look, if anything, this country we should rally behind the flag, the National Anthem, because it is the thing that unites us. It provides for that equality, that- that freedom that we continue to strive for in this country, like no other around the world.
Kelly Loeffler:
And- and that’s why I spoke out against the political organization, Black Lives Matter. And let me be very clear, the statement Black Lives Matter is very different from this political organization, which has Marxist roots, Marxist foundations. They believe in defunding the police. They promoted anti-Semitism and violence. And this isn’t helping our country move forward around the important conversations that we really could be having.
Jack P:
Now what kind of a reaction have you received from within the WNBA on that?
Kelly Loeffler:
Well obviously, it- you know, the reaction has been pretty, uh, swift and- and angry, uh, which I think is- is completely expected in today’s cancel culture. Where if you are disagreed with, they want to cancel you. They want to take away your business. They want to boycott you. They want to kick you out of your job, or your school. And I’m standing up to say this is a country where we have freedom of expression. You should not be canceled for saying what you believe. And I believe that any organization that wants to defund the police, that wants to disrupt the traditional family, moms and dads, they don’t believe in it. I don’t think that’s what our organization stands for, but yet, no ones looked behind the curtain of this organization that receives it’s funding through a mechanism called ActBlue, which is designed to elect liberals, uh, to promote liberal causes, and I just don’t think people have looked into this enough. And that’s why I had to raise the awareness.
Jack P:
Now, of course, you- you represent the City of Atlanta. The city there has seen a lot of, uh, protest, but also a lot of violence in the wake of those, over the past two months. The President has talked about sending federal law enforcement power to some of these areas, uh, that need it, that really need this augment. Obviously Portland has been the focus, Seattle’s been the focus. Uh, I don’t know if Atlanta has been one of- on the question, do you have it really on the bubble. But if it were, and just sort of broadly, what are your thoughts on the President, and AG Barr use, and Chad Wolf’s use, uh, fed law enforcement for some of these problem areas?
Kelly Loeffler:
Well the- the uh, surge in federal agents, Operation Legend, is much needed right now across the country, Atlanta included. What we saw happening in Atlanta very early on, was an autonomous zone, that I warned about, that I spoke out about, and I was criticized for- for saying that we need to stop this- this lawlessness happening in the streets. I was criticized for that, and yet, just days later an eight year old girl, little girl, was gunned down in the street, Secoriea Turner. There was no outrage from the BLM organization, no one spoke out against this lawlessness. In fact, it seemed to be supported by our elected leaders. And- and in fact, the Mayor of Atlanta has actually signed a letter opposing Operation Legend coming to Atlanta should it be needed.
Kelly Loeffler:
Now the Governor has taken strong action to activate the National Guard, and I think he’s exactly right. It’s help keep things, uh, at the right level. We need to protect the ability to peacefully protest. But what we’re seeing in Portland is not peaceful. Sixty-two straight, consecutive nights of lawlessness, of rioting mobs taking over the city, and that being endorsed by the Mayor and the Governor. And that’s just wrong. That’s why we need federal, uh, agents in there supporting local law enforcements. And I’ll continue to support the President in all his efforts to keep Americans safe. That’s our first duty as elected officials.
Jack P:
Thank you so much, Kelly Loeffler for sitting down with us here at One America News. I appreciate your time.
