A powerful new panel aimed at helping curb illegal immigration in Georgia has yet to hold its first meeting but it is already attracting controversy.

The Anti-Defamation League on Wednesday called on Gov. Nathan Deal to reconsider his decision to appoint anti-illegal immigration activist Phil Kent to the panel, saying Kent has a history of making “deeply disturbing" comments about immigrants. During in an interview on Wednesday, the head of Georgia’s Legislative Black Caucus also blasted the panel for not being more diverse. All seven of its members are white men.

Kent dismissed the ADL’s criticism, calling the organization a “left wing group.â€

If you check--- the immigration report cards on our black legislators here in Georgia, they are mostly "F" s. They consistently conflate illegal immigration with slavery. They liken stealing into our country with being brought here in chains in the 17th and 18th centuries.

They compare the resistance to illegal immigrants taking American jobs with the prejudice against black folks of earlier times.

Most black folks do not agree with them, but keep voting them into office as they destroy our black communities' job opportunities by supporting the illegal invasion.
