GOP Gubernatorial Candidate in Georgia Threatens to Deport Illegals If Elected

Republican gubernatorial hopeful Nathan Deal has released his first television ad attacking the Obama administration and "liberals" for failing to secure the nation's borders against illegal immigrants.

In the 30-second spot, the former congressman from Gainesville says he wrote the law "to stop illegal aliens from receiving taxpayer-funded health care." As governor, Deal says he will empower local law enforcement to help deport illegal immigrants.

Deal is one of seven Republicans vying for the GOP nomination in Georgia's July 20 primary. He's the third GOP candidate to take to the airwaves. State Insurance Commissioner John Oxendine and former state Sen. Eric Johnson have been running spots for several weeks.

Deal's ad is running in metro Atlanta.

Congressman Deal was a strong and active opponent of illegal immigration in Congress. Below is his bill to end "birthright citizenship". I read that Deal remained in Congress long enough so that he could re-introduce the legislation in the 2010 Congress before resigning to run for governor.

End Birthright Citizenship

H.R.1868 (Birthright Citizenship Act of 2009) - would eliminate birthright citizenship for the children born to illegal aliens in the United States by limiting citizenship to the children born to U.S. citizens or nationals, lawful permanent resident aliens in the United States, and aliens performing active service in the armed forces. Rep. Nathan Deal (R-Ga.) introduced the bill, but resigned from Congress on March 21, 2010. Rep. Gary Miller (R-Calif.) is now the chief sponsor for purposes of collecting cosponsors.
