Thanks, Dave!

Anti-enforcement rally in Atlanta, Jan 2016 DIS

Mr. Estep:

I’ve known D.A. nearly 20 years and will gladly vouch for his commitment to the rule of law and protecting American sovereignty, both of which specious “immigrant rights” advocates want the rest of the country to believe are motivated by racism, bigotry, xenophobia or any other demonizing descriptor you can come up with.

The groups that chose not to participate in the panel discussion have but one agenda that reflects a determination to silence patriots like D.A. whose only goal is to demand respect for the principles on which this republic was founded. Unfortunately, far too many people entering this country in recent years have come with a sense of entitlement and a demand that we change our political system to accommodate them.

Attorney Antonio Molina says “this issue is about love vs. hate.” Nonsense. The issue is about those who have respect for the rule of law and those who do not. That is the source of “tension” in this country today.

Azadeh Shahshahani says she doesn’t want to give D.A. “legitimacy,” but he already has it based on the simple fact that for years he has demanded enforcement of immigration laws that were created to protect the American people and their jobs. When she – and others – attack D.A., she is assaulting the unalienable right of self-determination, i.e. the right of the American people to determine their own course and do it without meddling from an outside world that is rife with contempt for individual rights.

D.A. and I share a common bond – we both wore the uniform of the United States – and neither of us will stand still while certain “Americans” wipe their feet on what that uniform stands for.

By the way, I’m disappointed that you and so many of your media colleagues continue to give “legitimacy” to the Southern Poverty Law Center that long-ago abandoned its genuinely good work and now is known best for attacking anyone it disagrees with and amassing a huge fortune in the process.

Sincerely,

Mr. Riley,

When you became the editor of the AJC you were all over the airwaves promising a new, fair and unbiased publication. After reading about your treatment of Mr. DA King in the recent article “Sheriff’s Panelist Choice Adds Tension to Gathering” it appears you are not living up to your promises. I’ve met Mr. King and can assure you that he is not “anti-immigrant”. Rather, he is a strong and vocal supporter of immigration enforcement and employment laws. It is fair to say he is “anti-illegal immigration” and pro-American worker. This is a reasonable position and one which most Americans agree with.

It is very disconcerting that you initially described him using the pejorative term “anti-immigrant”, then changed to the somewhat benign term “anti-undocumented immigrant” then back to the pejorative “controversial anti-immigration activist”. Besides the unseemly flip-flopping, these characterizations are grossly unfair, inaccurate and biased. You use favorable euphemisms such as “undocumented immigrant”, “immigrant rights activist” and “pro-immigrant” to describe the opposition. The fact is, they don’t represent immigrants, they represent aliens who are here in violation of the law and to be accurate you should call them what they are: “anti-enforcement”. To the extent that he is controversial, it is merely a reflection of the fact that his opponents know that he is on the side of law and order and they cannot abide that. In a sane world, the people promoting lawbreaking would be controversial, not the people defending the law and the media would know the difference.

Illegal aliens are backed by the mainstream media, the entire Democrat Party, many Republicans, the Chamber of Commerce, the Washington establishment and a myriad of powerful grievance groups. So, who stands up for the American citizen and all those who come to this country legally? People like DA King. Please treat him fairly.

Sincerely,

Terry Fouchey

The Atlanta Journal Constitution strikes again. Twice. In less than forty-eight hours.

After constantly correcting them – for sixteen years – on the fact that being pro-enforcement on immigration doesn’t qualify anyone, including me, as “anti-immigrant” or “anti-immigration” – and that I am neither – they have again labeled me as “anti-immigrant” And “anti-immigration.” Did I mention it was twice in less than forty-eight hours?

Oh, and BTW: They seem to not approve of the concept of nationalism. 

The morning after my late-night phone call/voice mail to an AJC reporter twenty minutes after his story on a Gwinnett County 287(g) panel discussion in which I participated hit the internet, the AJC changed their “anti-immigrant” description of me in the online version of the story to “anti-undocumented immigrant…,” then, in the same story for the next day’s print version ran a photo of me with the caption describing me as “a controversial anti-immigration activist.”

Without exaggeration, by phone, email and letters, I have told these people about fifty times that I fight for enforcement of immigration and employment laws and for sanity in immigration levels. That my adopted sister is an immigrant.  As are many donors and some members of the board of the Dustin Inman Society, which I founded in 2005.

The most recent example is a letter to the editor that was sent – and published – last June in response to another inaccurate and libelous depiction of yours truly as “anti-immigration” that was also changed after I complained:

“A recent column by the AJC’s Bill Torpy on the front of the Metro section falsely referred to me as an “anti-immigration activist.” The widely known truth is that for the last 15 years I have proudly fought for sanity in immigration and enforcement of American immigration laws. That effort is easily and succinctly described as “pro-enforcement.”

For the record – yet again – I am not “anti-immigration” any more than the folks at Mothers Against Drunk Driving are “anti-driving.” Neither is my adopted sister, who is an immigrant.

The reporters and leadership of the Georgia’s largest newspaper should be regarded as an organ of, and for, the illegal alien lobby from here on. I have asked for another correction and retraction.

–>*Update: Too funny: They corrected the whole cloth fabrication that I was somehow on the panel as a representative of the Sheriff, here. But the “credible”, “compelling”, “complete” coverage AJC editor Kevin Riley constantly tries to sell on radio ads never corrected the fake news that I am an “anti-immigration activist” – while they portrayed the anti-enforcement mob as “immigrant advocates.” Note to the propagandists at the AJC: Even the New York Times has made that correction on my motivation.

The editor of the AJC is Kevin Riley. Despite the fact that the shrinking AJC has no public editor, neither he or most of his editors respond to my emails or phone calls. *Notable exception: Editorial Editor Andre Jackson, who I believe to be an honorable journalist in every sense of the word. Andre Jackson is the only employee I know at the AJC that I trust.

The story is too long to tell at one time here, so only a little expansion for now.

On a panel discussion in Gwinnett County focused on 287(g) an AJC reporter filed this story late on the same night as the event (they don’t seem to like the self-description of “proud American nationalist” at all). The 1996 federal tool, 287(g) is designed to locate illegal aliens who land in local jails. Note that the anti-287(g) participants (some who dropped out) are referred to as “immigrant advocate groups.”

In the first try, I am described in this paragraph with

“King spoke first and audience members opposed to 287(g) greeted him with signs filled with his previous anti-immigrant rhetoric. His opening statement riled them further.”

After my phone call complaint, it was changed to:

“King spoke first and audience members opposed to 287(g) greeted him with signs filled with his past comments regarding undocumented immigrants. His opening statement riled them further.”

In the print version (that is also sent out electronically) of the same story that ran on August 2, the AJC editors reversed the reporters previous correction and inserted a photo of me with the caption:

“D.A. King, a controversial anti-immigration activist, represented the sheriff’s office on a panel discussion of the 287(g) program.” (All emphasis mine)

Image: AJC

Not only is the “anti-immigration” activist description wrong. but the AJC has invented out of thin air the notion that I was somehow representing the sheriff’s office. I would have been very proud to do that, but I was asked to speak on 287(g) as president of the Dustin Inman Society.

So, questions for the AJC team – if I was supposedly representing the sheriff, who were the three anti-enforcement characters representing? How did it happen that only D.A. King was supposedly representing somebody else in your story?

Image: AJC

The young AJC reporter asked me one or two questions – and that was clearly a formality on his way out the door. His lead query to me?

“Do you think you inflamed this event? …by being here, I mean.”

Contact info for the AJC leadership here. The columns the AJC editorial page team has published from me listed here. Did they inflame anyone by printing them?

I have sent them a letter to the editor about the fact they use the disgraced SPLC as an arbiter of “hate…” I will post it tomorrow if they don’t run it.

–>*Update: An edited and shortened version of my letter finally ran. Many thanks to Mr. Andre Jackson.

Politics shouldn’t hinder immigration enforcement

A recent AJC story on the 287(g) program in the Gwinnett County jail contains quotes from two Democrat candidates for sheriff who parrot the corporate-funded anti-enforcement immigration talking points. The Bizarro-world gist is that locating and reporting to federal authorities murderers, rapists, child molesters and drug dealers who land in jail somehow reduces community confidence in law enforcement. The problem is that these prisoners are part of America’s protected class – illegal aliens. Candidate for sheriff and retired police chief Curtis Clemons allows that he thinks removing these dangerous criminals makes Gwinnett less safe. Washington has repeatedly failed to protect America from the crime of illegal immigration. Only political opportunists would reject a proven-effective local enforcement tool.

Thankfully, Gwinnett’s pro-enforcement hero, Sheriff Butch Conway, stands up against the leftist lunatics who would trade lives and commonsense public safety for the advancement of their open borders, identity politics agenda.

Weakness on illegal immigration mars legacy

The AJC story on the new portrait of Governor and Mrs. Deal focused largely on his accomplishments as Georgia’s chief executive. Although he campaigned heavily on the issue of illegal immigration in 2010, we note Deal’s silence on the fact that today’s Georgia is home to more illegal aliens than green card holders — more than border state Arizona. Deal now brushes off inquiries on the issue with “it’s a federal issue.”

Illegal employment is the main attraction for “undocumented workers.” One of the heavy burdens everyday Georgians must bear for Deal’s boast that “Georgia is number one for business” is his refusal to enforce the many state laws put in place to protect us from the crime of illegal immigration.

Deal should be remembered for turning his back on the rule of law and campaign promises that fooled gullible Republican voters.We deserve better and pray the incoming governor has a different value system.

Voters should know the Dems did it

“Voter suppression?” It was the 1997 Georgia Democrats who introduced, sponsored and passed the now-infamous “use it or lose it” voter roll “purge” legislation that sore loser Stacey Abrams and the 2018 Democrats are using to attack Governor-Elect Brian Kemp. The exception on sponsors was Republican Robert Irvin.

It was Democrat Gov. Zell Miller who signed that legislation, HB 889, into law.

Contrary to the calculated howls from the Left, former Secretary of State Brian Kemp is merely “guilty” of obeying his oath of office and following the Democrat-concocted law.

Voters should be asking Democrats what they had in mind on the commonsense policy. Maybe it was long-forgotten interest in vote security?

Taxpayers shouldn’t foot bill for Bottoms’ open-borders stance

As if to underline liberals’ mindlessness on our national illegal immigration crisis, Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms has ended the city’s association with ICE on detention of illegal aliens awaiting deportation.

The city will now lose about $7.5 million in annual revenue from the feds. “It is a significant financial hit to our budget,” says Bottoms. “That shows how strongly the city of Atlanta feels about the position as it relates to ICE.” She also proudly uses taxpayer funds to support the victims of borders with legal defense in the same deportation proceedings.

Now illegal aliens who are captured here will be held in South Georgia – separated from any metro-area families by a far greater distance. “Atlanta will no longer be complicit in a policy that intentionally inflicts misery on a vulnerable population,” said the mayor.

Bottoms says she objects to the Trump doctrine of border security – even for illegal crossers who use children as shields. But it’s not clear if she understands that ICE is not involved in enforcement at the border.

It looks like Bottoms simply objects to borders and is willing to prove it with other people’s money.

The liberal AJC today:

“Immigrant-rights activists have severely criticized the city for holding ICE detainees. In contrast, Secretary of State Brian Kemp, Georgia’s Republican nominee for governor, said during the GOP primary this summer that the city should honor its “longstanding agreement” to house the detainees, adding: “Public safety – not partisan politics – must always come first.”
