My family recently returned to Texas where I grew up in a border town after 16 years in the Atlanta area. We still monitor Georgia politics, especially immigration issues. The founder of the Dustin Inman Society, DA King, has been committed for many years in helping people understand the truth about immigration and the law. He correctly points out that Georgia has more illegal immigrants than Arizona. I assure you, this is not helping middle-class or low-income Georgians.
As a proud Latina donor and board member of The Dustin Inman Society, I was stunned to read that you passed along the misinformed insult regarding The Dustin Inman Society from Jim Galloway at the AJC, who is using the SPLC as a reliable arbiter of âextremism.â Surely you are aware of the criticism by the Anti Defamation League of the SPLC for its faking a âhate groupâ crisis and reprimand by the DOJ for âunprofessional and frivolous behavior in immigration court proceedingsâ? Tactics and accusations by the SPLC are very questionable, a fact the AJC conveniently omits from their reporting. My hope is that Decaturish.com is more dedicated to fairness in journalism than Jim Galloway, the AJC â and the SPLC.

Dear Decaturish,
As an immigrant and an advisory board member of the Dustin Inman Society, I find your recent news article ( âLt. Governor Casey Cagle escalates fight with Decatur using state immigration boardâ) that curiously repeats the inaccurate AJC/SPLC characterization that the Dustin Inman Society is âextremeâ for insisting that our immigration law be enforced to be extremely offensive.
My parents and aunts and uncles fled a communist regime and spent years in refugee camps, and only emigrated after finding sponsors. They went through the proper steps.
One of the most important civics lessons I learned as a schoolgirl in Rochester, New York, in the 1960s was that the United States system was based on fairness.
Liberal or not, to blur the lines between legal and illegal, as Jim Galloway and the SPLC have repeatedly done, is a violation of the underlying principles of American justice and an insult to all real immigrants. The Dustin Inman Society, led by Mr. D.A. King is pro-enforcement on immigration. It appears that the Southern Poverty Law Center and Jim Galloway at the AJC take a counter position to that agenda. Is that the case for Decaturish.com too?
Sincerely,
Mary Grabar

Dear Decaturish,
As a Black American conservative and proud member of the Board of Advisors of the Dustin Inman Society, I was saddened to see the report on the Immigration Enforcement Review Board that seemed to stray into smear politics.
I have been a friend of D.A. King for more than a decade and have worked alongside him as a volunteer at the Gold Dome to educate legislators on our illegal immigration crisis. I have also watched the SPLC smear conservative political opponents as âhate groupsâ in an effort to discredit our work. Referring to D.A. King as anything but an honest, hard working patriot who believes in immigration sanity is shameful.
The Southern Poverty Law Center is rightly seen as a pernicious and loathsome racket. It warns that terrorists lurk among veterans and Tea Partiers; its labeling of the Family Research Council as a âhate groupâ inspired a gay activist to attempt a murderous attack on the FRCâs Washington offices; and it beat Politico to the smear by putting Ben Carson on a list of âextremists,â on par with David Duke and Fred Phelps (for which is was forced to apologize).
But sometimes the SPLCâs righteous fanaticism leads to comical errors. An example of that arose last month at a conference of immigration skeptics outside Washington. Heidi Beirich, one of the SPLCâs chief propagandists, wrote a blog post to help mainstream a posting from an even more extreme group than hers. The upshot was that Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach (sometime National Review contributor) is evil because he spoke at a âwhite nationalistâ conference. And her tactic succeeded; Beirichâs posting was the basis of an editorial last week by the Kansas City Star criticizing Kobachâs âdespicable behaviorâ for hobnobbing with the wicked.
Hereâs the funny part: Beirichâs posting was illustrated with a photo of Kobach speaking at the conference, the caption of which notes that it was taken from the Twitter feed of one @Hunter7Taylor. What do you find when you go to @hunter7taylorâs profile? This:
Photo: Facebook
White nationalist? Turns out her name is Inger Eberhart. I was at the conference too and, though I donât know her, the photo is definitely her.
So, the SPLC chose to illustrate a menacing warning about a âwhite nationalistâ conference with a photo taken and tweeted by a black woman. And not a plant, but a participant whoâs on the board of the Dustin Inman Society, Georgiaâs immigration-control citizensâ group led by the indefatigable D.A. King.
As she wrote, âI was born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia in the years immediately following the civil rights era. I would spot a real white nationalist a lot faster than you ever could.â
Eberhart wasnât the only improbable âwhite nationalist.â Maria Espinoza, daughter of a Mexican immigrant and past president of Houston Eagle Forum, heads the Remembrance Project, which honors Americans killed by illegal aliens. Two other speakers were also Hispanic Americans.
This gathering of âwhite nationalistsâ also featured a panel featuring me, Mike Gonzalez of the Heritage Foundation (a Cuban immigrant who spoke on promoting assimilation and fighting multiculturalism) and George Mason University economist Bryan Caplan (who made a forthright argument for open borders). As Caplan noted afterward on his blog, âthe audience was polite, with little of the vitriol that so sullies cyberspace.â
Yes, yes, I know, I shouldnât expect anything different from leftist goons. And I donât really; Beirich is clearly an end-justifies-the-means Alinskyite. But I had expected a certain level of competence, which is apparently lacking. As the great Londo Mollari said, âArrogance and stupidity all in the same package. How efficient.â
Below are the contents of an email received from AJC immigration reporter Jeremy Redmon yesterday, October 18, 2017 at 3:43 PM along with my written responses to the questions he asked me for a coming AJC news item. I am sending Redmon a link to this post as my reply. *I don’t know how to attach the spreadsheet he sent but most of the complaints are posted on our badly out-dated website HERE.
Note: This is the same AJC immigration reporter who has blocked me on Twitter and who refers to Soros-funded radicals who protest and work to stop enforcement of American immigration laws as “civil rights activists.” I received this list of questions from the AJC later in the same day that I posted and distributed this revealing criticism of that struggling, liberal newspaper to which I subscribe.

From Jeremy Redmon
Subject: AJC reporting on HB87/Immigration Enforcement Review BoardÂ
Greetings Mr. King,
I’m writing about the Immigration Enforcement Review Board and seeking comments from you for my article. Could you be available for a phone interview this week? My questions:
1. Since the board was created in 2011 it has received 20 complaints. All but one have come from you. (*See the attached spreadsheet I obtained from the board through the Open Records Act.) What do you think about this development?
Response: The IERB was a creation of the Association County Commissioners of Georgia and the Georgia Municipal Association’s lawyers and lobbyists in an attempt to insure that those groupâs members were not sanctioned for violating state laws focused on immigration and protecting jobs, benefits and services from the crime of illegal immigration. There would be far more complaints if everyday Georgians understood the law or that that compliance with those laws is widely regarded as optional. Most Georgians have no idea the IERB even exists. Built into the boardâs regulations is the ability to give any official or entity found to be in violation thirty days to correct those violations so as escape punishment. Common Georgia citizens should be so lucky as to have that privilege in their daily lives.
The General assembly should look into changing the constraints on the IERB â but because of a dedicated lack of media coverage, even many legislators are unaware of its existence. And ACCG/GMA has a very powerful lobbying presence under the Gold Dome, which ironically is funded with taxpayer money. Your readers may have an interest in the dues paid by their counties and municipal governmentsâ to ACCG/GMA which are then used to fund lobbyists who work  against illegal immigration bills in the Georgia Capitol.
2. Only one of the 20 complaints the board has received has resulted in a sanction: Atlanta paid the board a $1,000 fine in August. Two other complaints resulted in Atlanta and DeKalb County taking corrective action. Four complaints have either been dismissed or were withdrawn. Thirteen â most of them deal with access to adult education and date back to January and February of this year â are still pending. What’s your reaction to these results and the amount of time it is taking the board to resolve complaints?
Response: The Immigration Enforcement Review Board has a new chairman and I hope and expect that fact will produce more focused and timely hearings and action on valid complaints. Early in its history, the former IERB chair dismissed out-of-hand one valid complaint while saying the board lacked the resources or time to handle the volume of violations it contained. He could have easily been referred to as the “establishment’s firewall chairman.” In the past, I have been critical of the board’s operation, but applaud the majority of members who strive for timely service to the Georgia taxpayers and I am encouraged by recent changes. But there is *still a need for remedial legislative work on the entire process. (*I corrected ‘stipend’ here to “still a need” – 12:12 Oct 20)
AÂ double-digit page complaint was dismissed when I was told six months after filing that the list of complaints against each agency on which I had clear evidence of violation taken from state records had to be filed separately. I lack the time and resources for doing the job of investigating and revealing all the violations of the state law that official law enforcement agencies are charged with enforcing on immigration related matters.
I once withdrew a complaint from the board after being told by the AGâs office that they would take no action while it was pending at the board. The withdrawal maneuver produced no action from the AGâs office that I was ever made aware of.
HB 87 explicitly states that the boardâs action or lack of action has no effect on the AGâs office carrying out their enforcement duties. I will soon be filing separate complaints with enforcement agencies outside the IERB to be forwarded to the AG. It remains to be seen what will happen, if anything, to school districts that are providing adult education without any effort to obey state law in place to insure non-mandated tax dollars and public benefits do not go to illegal aliens.
Response:Â The heart of HB 87 was the E-Verify component. It clearly needs to be improved, but that fact is is ignored by virtually all candidates for state office, including governor. I was proud to have been consulted when HB 87 was being drafted and to have been invited to testify as an expert witness several times in its committee process. The IERB is nothing close to what I would have asked for if I had that ability.
Although operating on a shoestring budget, in an effort to counter the daily falsehoods cranked out by the usual well-funded anti-enforcement suspects which included the Georgia and Metro Atlanta Chambers of Commerce, the Ag industry lobbyists and the corporate-funded ethnic hustlers like GALEO, the Dustin Inman Society provided a basic education to lawmakers and members of the public and press who asked for information and references to federal law. I have been told that educational input we provided was helpful on HB 87. We pray that it soon sees actual enforcement and that it helps prevent other families from going through the hell-on-Earth that the parents of Dustin Inman have endured since 2000 when an illegal aliens killed their only child.
With the SPLCâs anti-enforcement agenda on immigration, along with the immigrant and minority members of the DIS board of advisors, I take any criticism from the SPLC as an indicator that our pro-enforcement efforts are having an effect. I understand that the hate spewed from the SPLC says much more about them than it does about our work on sustainable, reasonable and legal immigration. We also note that vindictive liberal newspapers often use the discredited SPLC when on a mission to smear stubborn political enemies and critics. And we note the AJCâs past supportive editorial position on open borders seems to match up with the SPLC agenda.
6. How much in donations has the Dustin Inman Society received from U.S. Inc. in all?
7. How would you describe the Dustin Inman Society’s relationship with U.S. Inc. today?
Response to questions 5,6 and 7: For the SPLC, pretty much everyone who opposes their political agenda is attacked as “racists” or “haters.” That smear campaign isn’t fooling many thinking Americans. The sanity-in-immigration patriots at U.S. Inc. have been kind enough to sometimes act as an administrative assistant of sorts in a small part of our limited efforts at fundraising. Given the facts, most Americans do not regard traditional levels of immigration that benefits the USA as “anti-immigrant.”
In addition to liberal media outlets, in our pro-American educational efforts, we stand up against race-baiting, anti-enforcement immigration groups that are openly funded by corporations such as Cox Enterprises, Coca-Cola, Georgia Power and State Farm Insurance Company. This is in addition to the various open-borders organizations funding received from many well-heeled immigration lawyers.
Much of our Barbara Jordan-inspired work is aimed at protecting American workers by fighting against a repeat of the immigration amnesty of 1986 and promoting official English, which is counter to the agenda of these business interests and we are grateful for the administrative help from U.S. Inc. All contributions received by U.S. Inc. designated for DIS are forwarded, on behalf of the donor, as a service to our pro-enforcement Society.
To battle the powerful anti-borders forces, we depend on donations from the mainstream public, most of which come in small amounts. In case your readers have a desire to donate to our cause, donations can also be accepted at GoFundMe and Paypal.
I guess I would consider taking the time to research and total up our meager contributions sometime in the future. Maybe after the AJC provides us a report of their revenues and salaries of all employees. And the amount of employee time and AJC money spent to act as Chair organization for the 2004 Atlanta MALDEF fundraiser that DIS protested â a rally that was covered by CNN but not by the AJC.
8. Could you email me a copy of the Dustin Inman Society’s most recent 990 Form or point me to where I could fine it online? I can’t find anything more recent than your 2008 990.

J.P. Morganâs Hate List
What is its gift to the Southern Poverty Law Center telling bank customers?
By
Kimberley A. Strassel
Corporate America will do almost anything to stay on the safe side of public opinionâat least as itâs defined by the media. CEOs will apologize, grovel, resign, settle. They will even, as of this month, legitimize and fund an outfit that exists to smear conservatives.
The press is still obsessing over President Trumpâs incompetent handling of the violence in Charlottesville, Va., and that has suited some profiteers just fine. The notorious Southern Poverty Law Center is quietly cashing in on the tragedy, raking in millions on its spun-up reputation as a group that âfights hate.â Apple CEO Tim Cook informed employees that his company is giving $1 million to SPLC and matching employee donations. J.P. Morgan Chase is pitching in $500,000, specifically to further the SPLCâs âwork in tracking, exposing and fighting hate groups and other extremist organizations,â in the words of Peter Scher, the bankâs head of corporate responsibility.
What Mr. Scher is referring to is the SPLCâs âHate Map,â its online list of 917 American âhate groups.â The SPLC alone decides who goes on the list, but its criteria are purposely vague. Since the SPLC is a far-left activist group, the map comes down to this: If the SPLC doesnât agree with your views, it tags you as a hater.
Letâs not mince words: By funding this list, J.P. Morgan and Apple are saying they support labeling Christian organizations that oppose gay marriage as âhate groups.â That may come as a sour revelation to any bank customers who have donated to the Family Research Council (a mainstream Christian outfit on the SPLCâs list) or whose rights are protected by the Alliance Defending Freedom (which litigates for religious freedom and is also on the list).
Similarly put out may be iPhone owners who support the antiterror policies espoused by Frank Gaffneyâs Washington think tank, the Center for Security Policy (on the SPLCâs list). Or any who back the proposals of the Center for Immigration Studies (on the list).
These corporations are presumably in favor of the SPLCâs practice of calling its political opponents âextremists,â which paints targets on their backs. The groupâs âField Guide to Anti-Muslim Extremistsâ lists Mr. Gaffney (who worked for the Reagan administration); Maajid Nawaz (a British activist whose crimes include tweeting a cartoon of Jesus and Muhammad ); and Ayaan Hirsi Ali (a Somali refugee who speaks out against Islamic extremism).
The SPLC has tarred the respected social scientist Charles Murray, author of the well-regarded book âLosing Ground,â as a âwhite nationalist.â Mr. Murray has been physically assaulted on campus as a result. He happens to be married to an Asian woman and has Asian daughters, so the slur is ludicrous. But whatâs a little smearing and career destruction if J.P. Morgan Chase gets some good headlines?
It isnât only the lists. An honest outfit tracking violent groups would keep to straightforward descriptions and facts. Instead, the SPLCâs descriptions of people are brutally partisan, full of half-truths and vitriol designed to inspire fury.
Weâve seen what this kind of fury can do in Europe, with the murder of Theo Van Gogh, the controversial filmmaker, by a Dutch-Moroccan Islamic fanatic. Ms. Hirsi Ali, who had worked with Van Gogh, still travels with securityâand J.P. Morgan thinks it appropriate to further target her? In 2012 a gay-marriage supporter named Floyd Corkins smashed into the Family Research Councilâs headquarters and shot a security guard. He told police he was inspired by the SPLCâs âhate groupâ designation.
Had the companies done a bit of homework, theyâd have discovered the SPLC isnât even considered a sound charity. Karl Zinsmeister excoriated the outfit in a recent article for Philanthropy Roundtable: âIts two largest expenses are propaganda operations: creating its annual list of âhatersâ and âextremists,â and running a big effort that pushes âtolerance educationâ through more than 400,000 public-school teachers. And the single biggest effort undertaken by the SPLC? Fundraising. On the organizationâs 2015 IRS 990 form it declared $10 million of direct fundraising expenses, far more than it has ever spent on legal services.â
Apple did not return a call to its media center. J.P. Morgan Chase, in an emailed statement, said only that it has a âlong history of supporting a range of organizations that are committed to addressing inequality.â
The corporate donations are nonetheless appalling, as they legitimize a group that already exercises inappropriate influence. The SPLCâs list is cited regularly by the media and congressional Democrats, ignorant or uncaring of its falsehoods. The charity tracker GuideStar for a time attached warning labels to philanthropies flagged by the SPLC.
This undermines the fight against truly hateful groups. Comparing pro bono lawyers at the Alliance Defending Freedom to hood-wearing KKK members only make the Klan seem more innocuous. Blackballing mainstream groups only silences the moderate voices the country needs to fight hate and bigotry.
Corporations have a role to play in calming todayâs divisions. This is the opposite. HERE

The Hate Group That Incited the Middlebury Melee
By Carl M. Cannon
RCP Staff
March 19, 2017
Under different circumstances, Alabama civil rights lawyer Morris S. Dees and American Enterprise Institute scholar Charles Murray might have been colleagues, even pals. Instead, Murray found himself in a near-riot at Middlebury College after accepting a speaking invitation from Republican students at the Vermont school. Students and faculty galvanized by Deesâ political organization barred Murray from speaking. They shouted him down, chanted their own manifesto, and pulled fire alarms to prevent him from being heard.
Morris Dees – The Weekly Standard
When Murray and Middlebury professor Allison Stanger tried to leave the building, they were followed by protesters who accosted them physically. The professor was grabbed by the hair and her neck twistedâshe was fitted with a neck brace at a hospitalâand their car rocked in a way that alarmed local authorities.
It was another victory for opponents of free speech, and if that seems like an incongruous scalp for a civil rights lawyer to wear, well, our politics are pretty odd these days.
Charles Murray is a political scientist with a doctorate degree from M.I.T. The American Enterprise Institute is a Washington-based think tank devoted to âdefending human dignity, expanding human potential, and building a freer and safer world.â Its scholars believe these goals can be attained by promoting democracy and strengthening the free enterprise system in the U.S. and around the globe.
Morris Dees is a born salesman who was a committed capitalist before he entered elementary school. âWhen I was 5, I bought a pig for a dollar. I fattened it up and sold it for $12,â he once told People magazine. âI always had a feel for making money.â
When his mother sent him a fruitcake his freshman year in Tuscaloosa, Morris and classmate Millard Fuller wrote other studentsâ parents offering to deliver freshly baked birthday cakes. Soon they were selling 350 cakes per month. By the time they left law school, they were making $50,000 a yearâ$400,000 in todayâs dollars.
After graduation, Dees and Fuller hung out a shingle and practiced law. But the real money came from their mail order business, peddling everything from cookbooks to tractor cushions. In 1969, Dees sold the direct-mail firm to the Times Mirror Co. for $6 million. By then, Fuller had cashed out, given away his money, and with his wife gone to live a Christian life building homes for the poorâefforts culminating in the creation of Habitat for Humanity.
Dees also started a nonprofit, which he named the Southern Poverty Law Center. But he gave up neither the high life nor the direct-mail business. He lives in luxury with his fifth wife and still runs the SPLC, which has used the mail-order model to amass a fortune. Its product line is an unusual one: For the past 47 years, Morris Dees has been selling fear and hate.
The business model is simple, albeit cynical, and best illustrated by its most famous case. In 1987, a Dees-led legal team won a $7 million judgment against the Ku Klux Klan in a wrongful death suit on behalf of Beulah Mae Donald, the mother of a 19-year-old kid murdered by members of the racist group. But the defendantsâ total assets amounted to a building worth $52,000. Thatâs how much Mrs. Donald, who died the following year, received. But Dees reaped $9 million for the SPLC from fundraising solicitations about the case, including one showing a grisly photo of Michael Donaldâs corpse.
Today, the center boasts a treasury of more than $300 million, the richest civil rights group in the country.
But with the Ku Klux Klan literally out of business, how was the SPLC able to frighten people into still donating? Thatâs where the AEIâs Charles Murray reenters our story, along with many other mainstream conservative groups. Scaring the bejesus out of people requires new bogeymen, and lots of them.
In recent years, you can find yourself on the SPLCâs âhate mapâ if you havenât gotten fully aboard on gay marriage â or the Democratic Partyâs immigration views. In other words, the Deesâ group classifies individuals and organizations as purveyors of âhateâ for holding the same view on marriage espoused by Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton until mid-2012.
Such labeling has consequences, which became clear in August 2012 when a gay rights activist named Floyd Lee Corkins entered the lobby of the Family Research Council armed with a 9mm handgun and 15 Chick-fil-A sandwiches. The gun was for killing as many Christians as he could, although he only managed to wound a guard. The sandwiches? He was going to rub them in the faces of his murder victims. Corkins had heard that a Chick-fil-A executive express opposition to gay marriage. Why the Family Research Council? He told police that the Southern Poverty Law Center had labeled it âa hate group.â
This episode prompted the FBI to drop the SPLC as a resource for hate crime cases. It prompted no such soul searching in academia. Before Charles Murrayâs abortive visit to Vermont, several hundred Middlebury alums signed a letter opposing his visit. They and the numerous professors and students who protested all cited the SPLC as their sole source for various slanders against Murray: Heâs a racist; he favors eugenics; heâs a âwhite supremacist.â
Murryâs original sin is âThe Bell Curve,â a book Murray co-authored more than two decades ago postulating a correlation between poverty and IQ. But it never advocated âeugenics.â Nor is he anti-gay: Heâs argued in favor of gay marriage to Republican groups.
The âwhite supremacistâ stuff is especially offensive: Murray, whose first wife was Asian, has mixed-race children….The rest HERE

Anti-borders mob in Atlanta demands ICE be dismantled
Yesterday, a coalition of about 70 anti-borders leftists calling itself the âGeorgia Not1More coalitionâ staged a downtown Atlanta protest/street-scream/march that began at the Georgia Capitol and eventually took-over an entire intersection adjacent to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Â ICEÂ ) offices on Ted Turner Drive. They illegally blocked traffic from about 11:00 AM to around 12:30 PM.
According to the âNot1Moreâ group, they are âcalling on the Obama Administration to dismantle ICE and put a moratorium on deportations now.â
This writer and others watched as Atlanta police seemingly aided the mob by using a police cruiser to stop public vehicle access to the blocked intersection. The Atlanta Police Department did nothing to interfere with the chaos for about 90 minutes, until they finally broke up the mob scene. We hear there were some arrests, as some chained themselves to ladders in the middle of the street and apparently refused to migrate down and off the asphalt.
Uniformed U.S Department of Homeland Security officers watching from the sidewalk volunteered that they had no jurisdiction on the street blockage. Left unsaid was the fact that illegal aliens were angrily and defiantly shouting their illegal alien status literally in the federal officerâs faces. â We arenât leaving!â âStop Separating Families!â âNo justice, no peace! â âDismantle ICE!â And âUn-documented and Unafraid!â and âNOT ONE MORE DEPORTATION!â they screamed.
Many in the MSM describe this as âhiding in the shadows.â
One can only imagine the bargaining between the leftist organizers and the mayorâs office: âWe demand to protest for three hours with out any of your pigs oppressing us!âŚâ Mayorâs staff: âNo, too long, but we will give you an hour and a half, then release any arrestees after four hours. No charges, no court date. No fineâŚâ
All the usual suspects
From their website we can see a list of the members of the âGeorgia Not1More coalitionâ: Georgia Latino Alliance for Human Rights (Â GLAHRÂ ), Southerners On New Ground (SONG), Project South, Atlanta Jobs with Justice, US Human Rights Network, Southern Poverty Law Center (Â SPLCÂ ), Georgia WAND, Racial Action Justice Center, Coalicion de Lideres Latinos-CLILA, National Day Laborer Organizing Network ( NDLON ), Southeastern Immigrant Rights Network (SEIRN), Women Watch Afrika, Metro Atlanta Democratic Socialists of America, Georgia Detention Watch, GA Moral Mondays, and American Friends Service Committee, Atlanta.
As usual for such occasions, two representatives from the communist National Lawyers Guild were there monitoring and taking copious notes. One of them can be seen in the day-glow-green ball cap.
The hateful, anti-American shrieking and the anti-borders victimhood was nothing new, but I did learn a couple of things yesterday. If you want to try to get a comment from Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reedâs office, you must be on a pre-approved email list. And that even if there are at least two pro-enforcement Americans present, some reporters only interview the illegal alien handlers and show only one side of the âimmigration debate.â
In case it doesnât make the ânews,â Georgia has more illegal aliens than Arizona and ranks number seven in the nation among states in that population. And as at todayâs anti-borders rally, English is an optional language in the Peach State.
Seeing pro-enforcement Americans at their carefully choreographed events enrages the illegal aliens and sometimes results in amusing moments. This writer received an unintentional âendorsementâ of sorts yesterday; one of the street screamerâs handlers used her bullhorn to shout to the crowd âNo More Deportations! No More D.A. Kingsâ!â And âD.A. King is the face of ICE in Georgia!âŚâ
This shout out is no doubt a reference to this writerâs position as president of the pro-enforcement Dustin Inman Society.
They are organized and funded well-enough to have pre-arranged an online viewing tool and sent out an email link to the live video about ten minutes after having arrived at the intersection where the ICE offices are located. So, if you were on the illegal alien lobbyâs email list, you could have watched the entire street-screamer event from the air-conditioned comfort of your own home or office.

For those of you who have not seen the corporate-funded illegal alien lobby in action.

Illegal alien street screamers in front of the federal immigration court in Atlanta, January 7, 2016.

At the end of this one hour event with about 60 people, I watched as a man in his twenties strolled over to a group of federal and Atlanta police officers and screamed obscenities at them (in English) about law enforcement directed at “immigrants” and finished by telling them to “get a real job…”
You can see the NPR affiliate WABE-News report here. Let me know if you see anything resembling a mention of the police being verbally attacked and provoked. Personal, educated and experienced observation. WABE News is among the most agenda-driven and biased news outlets in Georgia. And that is a big statement. They have, at last and at least, dropped any pretense of “journalism.”
* The organizer of this indicator of Obama’s new America was GLAHR (more on these socialists/communists —Â HERE) with participation of speakers from the SPLC and the ACLU.
For me, the shake-my-head part of the day was when they attacked Barack Obama as “oppressive.”
For those readers who do not get it yet: They despise America and Americans who don’t help them. The goal is open borders and these crazies will not stop unless/until they make America into as poor and as miserable a place to live as the third-world nations these angry leftists came from. They still cling to their home-nation flags.
Translation of the bullhorn chants:
Se ve, se ciente – We see, we feel!
El publo esta presente – we are here!
Se olle, Se escucha – We hear, we listen!
El pueblo esta en la lucha – we are in the fight!
Las calles son del pueblo – the streets belong to us!
El pueblo donde esta – we belong here!
El pueblo esta en la calle – we are in these streets!
Exigiendo la justicia – demanding justice!
Que pedimos? – justicia – We ask for justice!
La legalizion – no deportacion – Legalization, not deportation!

Can a black, pro-enforcement immigration activist be a âwhite nationalist?â
A revealing look at the illegal alien lobby and their smears
Inger Eberhart
As a black American, I am outraged at the lengths the hate-mongering left goes to smear advocates for sanity and control regarding immigration.
A couple of weeks ago I attended the 2015 Writer’s Workshop conference sponsored by U.S. Inc. in Washington D.C. – and I plan on going again next year. Little did I know that my attendance at this yearâs Workshop would give the pro-illegal alien Southern Poverty Law Center and its open border allies an opportunity to make fools of themselves yet again.
Hereâs what unfolded. The conference audience consisted mostly of academics, writers, bloggers, and activists like myself from across the country who believe that our immigration laws should be enforced and that Americans of all races and backgrounds should not lose their jobs to cheaper illegal or imported foreign workers. Really radical ideas, right?
So, naturally, the SPLC hates the Writerâs Workshop and everything it stands for. While there, I snapped a photo of one of the speakers, Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, and posted it on my Twitter feed. It seems that an SPLC ally named âImagine 2050′ monitors my Twitter feed.
The educational event obviously gave the SPLC a terrible case of the vapors. They proved it by demonstrating their hate for the Kansas Secretary of State for his outstanding legal work on behalf of enforcing our immigration laws. Someone named Heidi Bierich wrote a blog denouncing Secretary Kobach for speaking at a conference of âwhite nationalists.â White nationalists is one of those labels the SPLC uses in addition to âracistsâ, ânativistsâ, and âxenophobesâ to demonize any group or individual who upholds our immigration laws.
That was amusing, to this African-American woman who, along with other black Americans, and Latino and Asian Americans found ourselves attending a âwhite nationalist conferenceâ if you were to believe the Imagine 2050 and the SPLC.
Mind you this was a conference at which two Latinos made presentations and another Latino told the heartbreaking story of his brotherâs murder at the hands of a twice-deported illegal alien.
Memo to Imagine 2050 and the SPLC: I was born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia in the years immediately following the civil rights era. I would spot a real white nationalist a lot faster than you ever could.
This entire smear campaign would be amusing if it wasnât so sick.
âOutside the Southern Poverty Law Center, a stunning civil rights memorial honors those who died to give blacks more opportunities. Inside, no blacks have held top management positions in the centerâs 23-year history, and some former employees say blacks are treated like second-class citizens.
âI would definitely say there was not a single black employee with whom I spoke who was happy to be working there,â said Christine Lee, a black graduate of Harvard Law School who interned at the Law Center in 1989.
Only one black has ever been among the top five wage-earners at the center, and he was one of only two black staff attorneys in the centerâs history. Both said they left unhappy.
The Law Centerâs ambitious new project, Teaching Tolerance, which is designed to promote racial and cultural justice throughout Americaâs schools, is produced by an eight-member all-white staff according to the Law Center.â
Stay tuned, it gets better. The shameless character assassins at IMAGINE 2050 also used a picture from the U.S. Inc. writers conference of Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach pictured with a Latina American, Ms. Maria Espinoza and at least two other Hispanics.
Ms. Espinoza is the founder of The Remembrance Project (@StolenLivesQlt) whose mission is to remember and honor the thousands of law abiding Americans of all descriptions who have been raped, brutalized and murdered at the hands of illegal alien criminals, to try and bring some comfort and support to the families devastated by their loss, and to raise public awareness of the human cost of our governmentâs failure to protect us.
Americans like Ms. Espinoza give away the lies from the SPLC and IMAGINE 2050 narrative. The truth is those organizations never shed a tear for the victims of illegal alien criminals and their families. They could care less that millions of unskilled, low income minority Americans are being displaced in jobs by unscrupulous employers who hire and exploit illegal aliens.
So if you subscribe to the SPLC and IMAGINE 2050 because you think they are fighting for minority Americans, you’ve been scammed, duped and used. They lie about anyone who doesnât fall in line and with their anti-American ideology. Just as they lied about me, Ms. Espinoza, U.S. Inc. and everyone who attended the educational event in Washington.
