Georgia not enforcing anti-illegal alien laws
Just enforce the laws.
Nearly three years after the Georgia Legislature passed a sweeping immigration law that was described by critics and supporters alike as one of the toughest in the country, several key provisions are going largely unenforced. EVERY time there's another bunch of laws passed targeting illegals the media ALWAYS says, "Toughest laws in the nation."
The Georgia Immigration and Compliance Act requires companies with government contracts to use a federal database to screen new employees to ensure they are eligible to work in the United States and to provide a sworn statement to the government. It also requires that new applicants for public benefits be screened to verify their eligibility.
D.A. King, head of the Dustin Inman Society, which pushes for stricter laws to combat illegal immigration, said at a news conference Monday at the state Capitol that local governments are flouting the law. He said he plans to lobby during the current legislative session, which started Monday, for measures to promote enforcement.
"We need to be in the forefront of the nation again," King told reporters. "We passed the law, now we need to enforce it."
THANK YOU, D.A. King. Glad you're back in the fight. And glad your health has improved.
