KING: It’s crunch time for GOP-controlled Capitol, illegal immigration.


By the end of the week, Georgia citizens will have much better view of the true priorities and intent of the state’s Republican-controlled legislative and executive branches of government on illegal immigration.

In question is language in HB 87 authored by Rep Matt Ramsey (R-Peachtree City) that is truly comprehensive, effective and workable immigration reform. It makes Georgia a miserable place to be for illegal aliens, illegal employers and the endless list of organizations with goals that include perpetuating the presence in Georgia of the fugitive victims of geography.
We should all pay attention to what happens with the best state immigration enforcement bill in the nation. And to watch for any effort to dilute, delay or kill the bill that would cause a nearly immediate mass exodus of illegals from the Peach State.

HB 87 passed the House on March 3rd. Day 23 of the session.

A look at two of the players and their positions will help understand the coming events.

The new governor, with a sterling pro-enforcement record as a long-time member of Congress made clear promises during the campaign on the issue that is changing our language, busting the Georgia budget and causing the loss of jobs and wages for citizens and legal immigrants.

During the campaign, candidate Nathan Deal answered an
unequivocal “yesâ€

I am happy someone is standing up to illegal immigration. Not many doing the jobs they swore to do when running for offices, is reason for the increasing current immigration issues. I will vote wiser the next time.
