287(g) Immigration Program Being Hotly Debated, by Phil Kent
Insider Advantage Georgia 287(g) Immigration Program Being Hotly Debated Two sheriffs of large Georgia counties just signed new agreements with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to participate in the 287(g) program, named for part of a 1996 federal law. Sheriffs Butch Conway of Gwinnett County and Neil Warren of Cobb County say the renewals enhance the ability their departments to assist ICE in locating and deporting those here in this country illegally. If illegal aliens are arrested for a serious crime and discovered, via 287(g), to be here illegally, they are given to ICE for deportation. Conwayâs decision has led to attacks on him, his department and Dustin Inman Society President D.A. King. The anti-illegal immigration activist was attacked after Conway invited him to speak about the benefits of the Gwinnett jailâs 287(g) immigration program at a community meeting hosted by Gwinnett District 4 Commissioner Marlene Fosque. The idea of the community meeting was to air differing views about the public safety program but, in the words of Conway, it turned into âunfair and unwarranted name-calling and misleading innuendo.â For example, Fosque accused King of âspewing hatred and bigotry and racism.â (Kingâs organization is named after 16-year-old Dustin Inman, who was killed in an Ellijay car crash by an illegal alien.) King said his purpose was to inform the public about 287(g) and âlend (his) experienced knowledge on how to respond to the far-left race-baiting anti-enforcement lobby that is funded by corporate-America.â And Conway praised King, saying he âshowed professionalism and restraint during the meeting.â âIt should be noted that after being instructed to stick with the topic of 287(g), it was a campaigning (District 99 State Rep.) Brenda Lopez Romero who felt the need to present false ad hominem, personal attacks on me because she has no rational argument for not using every available tool to reduce crime in Gwinnett, including 287(g),â King told the Gwinnett Daily Post. âThe goal (of) the illegal alien lobby, which includes the cowardly groups that dropped out and the three anti-enforcement substitute panelists, was never to argue on 287(g) â it was to marginalize anyone who supports the program.â Everett Robinson, an African-American board member of the Dustin Inman Society, also says he doesnât know a man âless deserving of the hateful names (King) is being called.â In neighboring Cobb County, Warrenâ who is running for-re-election next yearâ is also the target of criticism and heated rhetoric. âWeâre living under such a hostile political environment against immigrants in general,â says Carlos Garcia of the Pro-Immigrant Alliance of Cobb County.â Garcia claims the program âracially profiles,â a charge the sheriff denies. And Warren cites statistics that 287(g) is protecting citizens by removing dangerous criminals and that it is effectively addressing gang crime. September 16, 2019D.A. King responds to petition by Duluth councilman Kirkland Carden with petition of his ownGwinnett Daily Post D.A. King responds to petition by Duluth councilman Kirkland Carden with petition of his own In the latest turn in an ongoing battle between Dustin Inman Society founder D.A. King and a pair of local Democrats, the controversial immigration enforcement advocate has launched a petition calling for the condemnation of Duluth Councilman Kirkland Carden â for starting a petition calling on county leaders to condemn Gwinnett Sheriff Butch Conway. Carden started his petition shortly after Conway invited King to speak at a 287(g) forum hosted by county Commissioner Marlene Fosque in late July. His petition, which was presented to county commissioners late last month, calls for the condemnation for inviting King to participate in the forum. Democrats were quick to condemn the invitation, citing the Southern Poverty Law Center, which is labeled Kingâs organization as an anti-immigrant hate group. King and his supporters, however, have argued that the SPLC is a discredited organization which has mischaracterized the Dustin Inman Society. âThe main goal of the shameful effort from Kirkland Carden is to attack Gwinnettâs Sheriff Conway for standing against the leftist open borders mob that will do or say anything to end immigration enforcement in Gwinnett, Georgia and the U.S.A.,â King wrote in the petition. âWe hope you will send a message by signing this petition asking the Gwinnett Commissioners and the Duluth City Council to condemn Kirkland Carden.â King wants both the county commission and the Duluth City Council to take action to condemn Carden for circulating his change.org petition against Conway. Kingâs petition is also listed on change.org, with a photo taken from Cardenâs campaign website. Carden, who is running for the county commission District 1 seat in 2020, said he is not deterred by Kingâs petition and reaffirmed his stance that he views comments made by King about immigrants as racist. âDespite his attempt to distract people with his defense of 287(g), my decision to start the petition was based on his racist and bigoted statements,â Carden told the Daily Post Friday. Since the 287(g) forum, there have been ongoing rounds of verbal and written shots being taken back and forth over whether King should have been invited to participate in the forum. In addition to Cardenâs petition against Conway â and now Kingâs petition against Carden â Fosque has denounced Conway for inviting the Dustin Inman Society founder to participate in the forum. King responded to that by filing an ethics complaint against Fosque last month. In his petition against Carden, King accuses Carden of spreading âhate-mongering smears from the anti-enforcement race-baiters.â âCarden hopes that Gwinnett voters will not see the truth about the SPLC, that D.A. King has the support of a wide array of diverse Americans and has been favorably profiled on the front page of the New York Times,â King wrote. âEven that liberal newspaper makes it clear that King (and the Dustin Inman Society) is opposed to the crime of illegal immigration and is not âanti-immigration.â A link to the petition, which can be viewed at bit.ly/2lTNfvK, was also circulated on the Gwinnett-based United Tea Party of Georgiaâs Facebook page. The Daily Post is listing a link to the petition since it included a link to Cardenâs petition in an article about that effort in early August. But Carden said the petition defamed him and another man, named George Chidi, who King accused of advising Carden. âI have consistently made the point that my issue was with D.A. King representing our sheriff and the sheriffâs department at a public event and his close relationship with Sheriff Conway that the Sheriff has defended,â Carden said. âTo put it simply, I welcome this discussion and will not be intimidated by the critics.â Â Here. September 14, 2019We need help. Two things you can do right now to help fight illegal immigration in Georgia
We need help. Georgia is home to more illegal aliens than green card holders. And more than Arizona. And if you are still waiting for Gov Kemp and his “Big Truck” to help – we hope you aren’t holding your breath. The illegal alien lobby is financed by corporate-Georgia and Marxists like George Soros. We operate on donations from normal Americans. Two things you can do right now: 1) Please sign this petition aimed at exposing the race-hustlers against immigration enforcement in Gwinnett County, Georgia. 2) IF you are able, please consider helping us with the expense incurred from doing this since 2003 – IF you can afford a contribution, please see the GoFundMe page our friend Kathy Ramey Statham has set up here. Some recent news here and here. Thanks. Please share this?
