Breitbart News: GOP Rep. Pushes Anti-Sanctuary Cities Bill in Georgia – *Rep Philip Singleton Dustin Inman Society
Breitbart News Neil Munro
 GA state Rep Philip Singleton GOP Rep. Pushes Anti-Sanctuary Cities Bill in Georgia A GOP legislator and 19 co-sponsors are pushing legislation to bar sanctuary cities in Georgia. “I’m very hopeful,” said state Rep. Philip Singleton, who flew AH-64 attack helicopters in Afghanistan and Iraq. He continued
A July 2018 report by the left-wing Georgia Budget and Policy Institute said the roughly one-third of all immigrants in the state are “unauthorized immigrants.” The estimated population of 377,000 illegals outnumbered the resident population of 260,000 green card holders and was close to the population of 427,000 immigrant citizens. The population of illegals nudges up crime rates, pushes down Americans’ wages, and boosts housing prices. But business groups welcome the extra population because it provides more workers, customers, and renters to businesses.
The “Georgia Anti-Sanctuary Act” is being co-sponsored by GOP Reps. Steve Tarvin, Scot Turner, Ken Pullin, Kevin Cook, Michael Caldwell, and Sheri Gilligan. They are backed up by additional sponsors, including Marc Morris, Mitchell Scoggins, Mathew Gambill, Steven Sainz, Emory Dunahoo, Joseph Gullett, Jeff Jones, David Clark, Rick Williams, and Danny Mathis, said D.A. King, a pro-American immigration-reform activist in the state, and the founder of the Dustin Inman Society. Their HB 915 bill would require the state to support federal immigration enforcement efforts and prevent any local obstruction. A statement at InsiderAdvantage.com from Singleton said:
However, Singleton and the cosponsors need the support of top GOP leaders for the bill to become law, said King. “What’s required for this bill to pass is [first] a hearing in a subcommittee, then a full committee hearing at the Judiciary Committee, and then it has to go from [the] judiciary [committee] to [the] rules [committee], and then from rules to the House floor before legislative day 28,” he said… Read the rest here.
January 20, 2020Cherokee County Republican Rep Scot Turner sponsors bill to gut protections against illegal aliens accessing public benefit: Professional licenses. It’s HB 773 Rep Scot Turner. Photo: Ga General Assembly website The below is text from animal relying to several people this morning, including another state Rep replying to someone asking if I know what i am talking about. Below is a facebook exchange from jan 216 with Rep Scot Turner PROFESSIONAL LICENSES ARE PUBLIC BENEFITS UNDER CURRENT STATE LAW. Scott does not understand the law as is, which I have worked for literally 15 years. Chip Rogers , SB 529 in 2006. I wrote 2009 HB2 myself. We improved in HB87 in 2011 and again in SB160 in 2013. OCGA 50-36-1 requires all applicants for public benefits over age 18 to swear they are eligible for benefits due to US citizenship or lawful immigration presence. Then, that legal immigration status is verified using the no-cost federal SAVE program. This “cut the red tape” auto-issue reciprocity nonsense would allow an illegal alien who moves here from other states that do not use a verification system (most states don’t) to receive the professional license without so much as the current required affidavit, much less federal verification.Scott will need to explain how an illegal alien does not have ability to establish “residency” and cannot access the professional license if there is no test, no affidavit swearing to eligibility (status) and no SAVE verification. The current laws on public benefits was put in place for a reason. See also 50-36-2 *This legislation will eliminate the process of SAVE verification. But likely will make GA “ better for business.” I urge all to educate themselves before the establishment starts the push to dismantle the laws in place to make it more difficult for illegals to operate in GA. This will be “an issue.” Last year GA DOT gutted part of the EVerify law for public contractors because nearly zero legislators understand the laws. The one(s) who did remained silent to stay in the cool kids club.

January 3, 2020D.A. King in Insider Advantage Georgia today:$100 million annual revenue source should not be ignored Image: Insider Advantage Georgia
A subscription news outlet January 3, 202 $100 million annual revenue source should not be ignoredbyGeorgia voters should be asking why all concerned under the Gold Dome are apparently ignoring a proven successful process that would create a new revenue stream estimated to add about $100 million to the Georgia coffers annually. With current budget woes producing headlines like “Hundreds of jobs, programs, would be slashed from Georgia budget”and reports that Gov. Kemp wants to cut $300 million from the budget this year, $100 million in new annual revenue seems like real money. The new revenue stream would come without costing Georgia tax-filers a penny. This writer originally reported here on legislation from Rep Jeff Jones (R – Brunswick) in late 2016 that would mimic a working system in Oklahoma that has added to that state’s budget since 2010. “Rep. Jones has found a way to tap into the enormous amount of money that is sent out of Georgia every year without going anywhere near the Georgia economy – and the best news is that the majority of that money comes from drug dealers and illegal aliens! What is it? A small, 100% refundable fee on funds wired out of Georgia, that taxpayers could easily recoup on their state tax returns. In simple terms, it goes like this: Let’s say you wire $1000.00 to Aunt Martha in South Carolina to help with her upcoming surgery. When you send the helpful payment out, the wire service would add on a small extra fee (around 2%) – which you would get back when you file your tax return or a simple, short form explaining that you are not required to file a return because of low income. The wire transfer agency would be compensated for the collection effort. The same fee would be added to the money that illegal drug dealers send out of Georgia. The government of Mexico alone received about $25 billion American dollars last year, mostly from its citizens living here in the good old USA. That is more money than Mexico made on oil revenues. Georgia has more illegal aliens than Arizona. (and many more than Oklahoma) We don’t have figures on how many American dollars are sent out of Georgia by drug dealers, but Atlanta is a known terminus for that insidious organized crime. The income for the state in this genius plan comes from the fact that the huge majority of illegal aliens and drug dealers do not file a tax return. Get it?” is what we wrote more three years ago. Repeat note to media skeptics: Everyone who files a state tax return or special short form can get their fee back. While Rep Jones has worked hard to accommodate stakeholders since 2016 and polished and tweaked his revenue bill, the basics have not changed. According to the anti-immigration enforcement Georgia Budget and Policy Institute, Georgia is home to more illegal aliens than green card holders and the illicit drug business is booming in the Peach State. The original estimates of the revenue dollar amount have doubled since the bill was written due to changes in the language. One feature that has not changed is the wire transfer withholding would apply to everyone who wired money out of Georgia, regardless of its final destination. To illustrate the constant growth in revenue this idea has produced in Oklahoma since it became law, we posted collections by year since it began here from the Oklahoma Tax Commssion. We detect media resistance David North at the Center for Immigration Studies also wrote about Jones’ bill in 2016 and that write-up was sent to the AJC’s Jim Galloway that year. The resulting excitedly inaccurate AJC coverage ran with the headline “First Trump-era bill could slap a tax on cash sent to foreign homes.” The AJC reported that the fully refundable wire transfer fee was a “tax” and that it would only apply to foreigners sending money to their home countries. And they didn’t seem to like the idea that it would affect illegal aliens. We hope the governor and concerned, responsible House members will take a hard look at Jones’ $100 million a year revenue bill for themselves – maybe even give it a hearing. And maybe sign on as cosponsors. It’s HB532. You read it here first. Again. D.A. King is president of the Georgia-based Dustin Inman Society @DAKDIS 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?
June 12, 2019The cost of stopping Dax Lopez appointment? “Close friend” of the illegal alien lobby (GALEO) with zero insurance experience to be named Georgia Insurance Commissioner GALEO’s Jerry Gonzalez and “friend of GALEO” John King/ Photo: AJC. Sigh – earlier this month GALEO’s Dax Lopez was passed over for an appointment to DeKalb Superior Court by Governor Kemp. Today we hear that Kemp has appointed Doraville police chief John King, a “close friend” of the corporate-funded illegal alien lobby to be Insurance Commissioner. King has no experience in insurance. Below is a screen shot from the GALEO facebook page with King and corporate-funded GALEO leader Jerry Gonzalez. –> UPDATE: November 8, 2020:It looks like the AJC has removed the June 12, 2019 page with the report and subject of our screen shot of GALEO’s Twitter post. And after less than two years! No worries we found it here from the Wayback Machine. More detailed write up here. May 31, 2019Terrific letter to the editor, MDJ columnist Kevin Foley looking up and talking down to Cobb sheriff on anti-enforcement GALEO Also update on #DaxLopez Image: DIS NOTE: Dax Lopez does not get appointment! This excerpt from the AJC Political Insider blog, the Jolt today:
The Dustin Inman Society worked very hard to organize resistance to GALEO’s Dax Lopez (now a state court judge) being appointed to superior court by Governor Kemp. The announcement that Lopez did not get the promotion came this morning. We are grateful to all who took time to write, call, email, and tweet Gov. Brian Kemp urging him to pass over GALEO’s anti-enforcement judge for advancement. Thank you, Gov. Kemp! Letter to the editor today in the MDJ. I don’t subscribe and cannot read it through the pay wall, so thanks to Sue for sending it along. Marietta Daily Journal OPINION May 31, 2019
DEAR EDITOR: Kevin Foley giving Sheriff Warren advice on the subversive and race-baiting GALEO Corporation is another example of the uninformed leftist writer looking up and talking down. GALEO, led by the perpetually angry and professional-victim Jerry Gonzalez, is yet another corporate-funded anti-borders group that has a widely known reputation in political circles for smearing political enemies. Maybe Foley was among the past crowds that GALEO has led in marches in the streets of Atlanta protesting any immigration enforcement. GALEO particularly hates 287(g) because it detects and reports illegal aliens already captured for other crimes. Foley’s advice to the sheriff to “engage” rather than “condemn” illustrates that Foley writes from a jerking knee and not any basis in knowledge or experience. Gonzalez, the boss face of GALEO since its creation in 2003, has accused Warren of bias and prejudice for simply carrying out his sworn duty to protect all Cobb residents. Gonzalez has also falsely smeared pro-immigration enforcement legislators for legislation that would reduce the effects of the illegal aliens GALEO is dependent on to keep the corporate donations flowing. Gonzalez was thrown out of a Rome, Georgia, event by police several years ago for chasing and verbally attacking the diminutive state Rep Katie Dempsey. There is a long history of GALEO radicalism including lobbying against official English, voter ID, and E-Verify — while transporting illegal aliens to the state Capitol. GALEO lobbied against jails honoring ICE detainers for criminal illegals. In short, GALEO is a typical subversive and radical but innocuously named anti-borders activist corporation. While that may be right up Foley’s alley, he should at least have the facts before he offers advice to Sheriff Warren. State Court Judge Dax Lopez served as a board member for eleven years while Jerry Gonzalez led GALEO in the above described activities. He was as silent as mouse, except when he personally wrote Gov. Deal to veto a bill against illegal aliens driving with no license. In 2016, Dax Lopez was denied a federal court seat because of the courage of Georgia’s Sen. David Perdue, who investigated the facts brought to him by D.A. King on GALEO directly from the GALEO website, much of which has now been deleted. A long list of very respected legislators and other officials including Sheriff Warren wrote to the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee advising against Dax Lopez. Kevin Foley advising Neil Warren is comical. John Litland Marietta May 22, 2019Inger Eberhart of the Dustin Inman Society on Insider Advantage Georgia: On the war on Immigration enforcement in GeorgiaEditor’s note: The Gwinnett county 287 g program was extended to 2020 late Tuesday afternoon.
With the corporate-donor dollars on the anti-enforcement side, the war on immigration enforcement is raging in Georgia. It is not at all clear who will prevail.
Inger Eberhart In question this month is the federal program that allows two local jails to locate and hold illegal aliens captured for additional crimes here in Georgia. Sheriff Butch Conway’s Office has had an agreement with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement since 2009 in which specially trained deputies can act as immigration agents under the supervision of ICE officials. Such agreements are allowed under Section 287(g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act. All known aliens are screened using the database provided by ICE to determine immigration status and the illegal aliens are then reported to ICE. In 2007, Cobb Sheriff Neil Warren was the first in the state to have his jail become 287(g) approved. Both sheriffs report significant success in not only turning over criminal aliens to ICE for deportation, but in reducing the overall jail population. The 287(g) program acts as a deterrent to many illegals who are carefully considering where to take up residence. Both sheriffs’ agreements with ICE on the 287(g) program are scheduled to expire next month unless the arrangements are extended or renewed. And both sheriffs report that they have captured murderers, kidnappers, rapists and child molesters who were found to be in the country illegally. In a different time, one would assume that nobody would have a problem with the federal authorities receiving help from local jails. Those times are long gone. In today’s Georgia, identity politics groups oppose the added 287(g) enforcement with the ever-present but mindless talking point that it somehow makes the community less safe. The idea is that it is better to leave criminal aliens in the Georgia community than to risk “separating families.” It is easy to describe the various opponents of enforcement as “the usual suspects”, but we think it educational to name some names – the Latin American Association for example. David Schafer serves as ‘Managing Director of Advocacy’ for the LAA. “We have to ask ourselves, ‘What’s good for our community,’ ” Schafer told the Gwinnett Daily Post in 2016, the last time Sheriff Conway’s 287(g) agreement was renewed. “Is it better to work with communities in terms of helping them build confidence to report crimes? And how much good does it do us to be taking parents out of families when we’ve got a situation where these families are already struggling to make a living when we’re effectively taking the wage earner out of the home?” The list of anti-287(g) activists goes on to include the Georgia Association of Latino Elected Officials (GALEO) that has organized lobbying against immigration enforcement since 2003 – including for the eleven years that State Court Judge and current candidate for a governor’s appointment to the DeKalb Superior Court, Dax Lopez served as board member and fund raiser….read the entire column here. May 13, 2019Another “NO to Dax Lopez” letter – “in our rural North Georgia community, there would be no political payoff for putting a former GALEO sympathizer, fundraiser and tactician in a Superior Court seat”The below letter was copied to us this evening. I have more to post, but little time… Dear Gov. Kemp I just learned that Dax Lopez is on a list for you to pick from for a DeKalb Superior Court appointment. I am shocked that this man is anyone’s choice for a higher court. I hope that you are not seriously considering him. The fact that Lopez was on the board of the GALEO Co. and remained silent while Jerry Gonzalez accused good, decent people, including legislators and law enforcement officers of “racism” and “hate” because they made it clear that immigration laws matter makes me shudder to think he is any type of judge. GALEO stands against voter ID and uses ethnicity as a political weapon and did so the entire time Dax Lopez was a board member. Senator Perdue has proven his courage in pointing out the problems with Dax Lopez when Obama tried to make him a federal judge. I am told that there is some imagined political benefit to advancing Dax Lopez due to his ethnicity. I trust we are only going to advance judges because of their proven integrity and personal history. As a recent former Republican county chair, current state committee member and a grassroots activist for your campaign, I respectfully assure you and your advisors that here in our rural North Georgia community, there would be no political payoff for putting a former GALEO sympathizer, fundraiser and tactician in a Superior Court seat. Please pass over Dax Lopez as Senator Perdue did in 2016.
