Thread: Support Rep. Nathan Deal

Please show your support for Nathan Deal. He's going after birth right citizenship, so he's definitely getting heat from the other side. He also has that unique stance of "enforce the law". FYI- LaRaza is strong in the Dalton , GA area. That's their only stronghold in the state.

Illegal Immigration Discussed At Town Hall Meeting
Submitted by Kristen Johnson on August 7, 2007 - 10:54pm. News

North Georgia Congressman Nathan Deal continues to push for tougher regulation of illegal immigration.

And that was the hot topic in a town forum today in North Georgia.

Now he wants to change the rule that says if you're born here, you're a citizen.


The nation as a whole is seeing a spike in the foreign born population.

And as Congressman Nathan Deal points out in this graph, Georgia is no exception.

While Deal is quick to say not everyone who comes into this country is illegal.

Deal says, "I don't think you can explain these dramatic increases without accounting a significant portion of it to illegal immigration."

Nurse Practitioner Kathy Schleier sees first hand the effects illegal immigration has on the U.S. Healthcare system.

Schleier says, "What's happening is the parents will be deported and these children are placed with a relative or when they can't find a relative..there going to a foster home...we're given a double whammy in having to take care of these children."

Congressman Deal acknowledges healthcare as one of the three major areas effected by illegal immigration.

That's why he's introduced a bill that would stop giving citizenship to what he calls "anchor babies."

Deal says, "Unless at least one of the parents of a child is legally in the country at the time the child is born...that the child will not be extended citizenship in this country."

Others in the audience say too many jobs are being lost to the increasing number of illegal immigrants.

Deal says some will argue that's not the case, but says he has seen instances first hand where that's exactly the case.

Deal says, "They are no longer restricted to the carpet industry or poultry plants..they've taken over most of the sub-contracting work and landscaping."


Deal's solution to the illegal immigration problem - He says quite simply..it will start with enforcing the law and getting back to the fact that the United States is founded on the rule of law.

My representative is on board with the birthright citizenship bill and amendment. We need to contact our state representatives to ask them to co-sponsor Rep. Deal's bill and Ron Paul's HJ Res 46 amendment to end birthright citizenship.

Psalm 91

This should be the "late Rep. Nathan Deal" - unfortunately Rep. Deal died this spring. Georgia just completed the election of his successor.

(Please Note: this information NOT correct - t2s.)

Huh? Deal was at this townhall meeting today.

I think that you're confusing him with another rep. out of Augusta , GA. He died in Feb. I think.

It just came to me. Charlie Norwood of Augusta area died.

saveourcountry,

You are SO right and I am SO wrong - my sincere apology!

Georgia seems to be cracking down on illegals all the way around. I wonder how Chambliss is taking that?

I'll lobby my Rep. Ken Calvert (CA-44) to support and co-sponser HJ Res 46....good bill.

Rep.Deal needs to get together with Rep.Berman from Texas who
authored HB28 about anchor baby citizenship. I think NCByrd
posted a story on it in the news section.
