It saddens me to report that one of America's legendary illegal immigration fighters and great patriots, DA King (View ALIPAC Archives about DA HERE) of the Dustin Inman Society in Georgia, has passed away.

His obituary reads that Donald ("D.A.") Arthur King (April 1, 1952 - March 5, 2025) ...

"...left this life and his work for the nation that he loved confident that he has done his best. Survived by his best friend, love of his life and undeserved gift-from-heaven wife of 42 years, Sue Lanier King AKA "Angel Girl", D.A. passed on peacefully after a private battle with cancer... D.A. described himself as "pro-enforcement" on immigration and borders, an issue on which he dedicated the last 21 years of his life as an expert activist, writer and public speaker." (Read entire obituary HERE)

D.A.'s organization, the Dustin Inman Society (DIS) (Visit site HERE), was formed in Georgia in 2005 shortly after ALIPAC was founded in the Fall of 2004.

D.A. was a retired marine, and you tell that in every fiber of his being. He was true force to reckon with who loved his country and fought hard to protect America and Americans from this illegal immigration invasion until his dying days.

His organization and efforts were inspired by the death of Dustin Inman, the son of DIS Board Members Kathy and the late Billy Inman, who was killed in a car crash by an illegal alien.

Dustin Inman's name is placed among the thousands of Americans killed by illegals (View HERE) we are archiving in the hopes their names will be placed upon a stone memorial on the national mall one day to remind the politicians who betrayed America's Constitution, borders, and citizens that we will always remember those lost to the elite sponsored illegal alien invasion of our American homeland.

I first met D.A. in Washington, DC, at the only "Hold Their Feet To The Fire" event I attended, organized by the Federation of Americans for Immigration Reform (FAIR). D.A. was supportive and welcoming to ALIPAC and other new groups and leaders when the same cannot be said of FAIR.

Here is an older, grainy video of DA King announcing the border hawk speakers against illegal immigration on stage in Lafayette Park across from the White House in 2007. (View HERE).

Many of the old school leaders of our movement, you may remember, are present with DA King, including several who have also passed on ...

Roy Beck of Numbers USA, William Gheen of ALIPAC, Peter Gadiel of 9/11 Families for a Secure America, Lupe Moreno of Latino Americans for Immigration Reform, TJ Bonner of the National Border Patrol Council, Al Rodrigez You Dont Speak For Me, Roger Hedgecock of KOGO Radio, Rick Oltman of Californians for Population Stabilization CAPS, Mark Edwards of the Wake Up America Foundation, Martha Zoller, Terry Anderson, Bob Park of Veterans for Secure Borders, Frosty Wooldridge, KC Mcalpin of Pro English, and Dan Sheehy author of Fighting Immigration Anarchy.

This was my first national stage and short speech on the topic of illegal immigration, and the Blogger Row that I brought to DC scored the lone legislative success of Hold Their Feet To The Fire 2007. You can hear the angry illegal immigration supporters making a racket in the background. (View William Gheen's JUST SAY NO Speech)

I can't think of a single topic associated with illegal immigration that D.A. and I disagreed on, and he said it well in his organization's Mission Statement ...

"On the 'totem pole of blame' for the organized crime that is illegal immigration, the federal government is highest and most derelict, then the criminal employers who lure most illegals here. Next irresponsible state and local governments and lastly the aliens themselves. Not many can blame anyone for wanting to live and work in the United States, but we cannot allow the entire world to migrate here. That is why we have immigration laws," says D.A. King, DIS founder.

D.A. King was a great man and a dedicated leader who fought for Georgia and the nation, and I wish we had someone like him in every state.

He never surrendered, he never gave up, and while the Soros-funded Left said everything nasty about him they could manufacture, D.A. King stayed the course and held the line.

It has been an honor to serve in the same movement and cause with Mr. King, and I hope that his efforts and memory will inspire others to step up where he left off.

DA's occasional advice to me will be remembered and carried forward through our work at ALIPAC, and we will strive to remind America of who he was and what he truly stood for.

RIP DA King of the Dustin Inman Society. May your memory and good deeds for America live on.

I was very sad to hear of DA King’s passing. He was a friend as well as an amazing, indefatigable patriot.

Shortly after organizing the small group of concerned Georgia citizens that became Georgians for Responsible Immigration Policy (GRIP) (in 1997, with the help of Roy Beck of Numbers USA, and FAIR) I became aware of DA King. At that time he was a regular contributor of Letters to the Editor of the Atlanta Journal Constitution, drawing attention to the increasing number of outrages involving illegal immigration in Georgia, and Cobb County in particular. At some point he began working with our group of citizen activists. Among the many things that DA brought to the table was the simple fact that it was great to have a Marine with us at protests when we were being harassed and vilified by all the usual haters.

Within several years it became apparent that DA was envisioning a Georgia immigration enforcement group that would have full-time leadership and a more constant presence at the Georgia state house and the U.S. Capitol. We were awed by his selflessness when, in 2003, he set aside his insurance business and started building The Dustin Inman Society to do the never-ending hard work that needed to be done. By 2006, the GRIP leadership had left the state and I encouraged the members to join The Dustin Inman Society, which most of them did. The group obviously became a force to be reckoned with, and I wish them even greater success in the future.

Rest In Peace, DA King. You have been an inspiration to many and will be greatly missed.

Yes, William, it was a great event to attend in Washington. The speakers were leaders and educators on illegal immigration. Radio Row allowed radio and media personalities to broadcast across the nation about the event.

I, too, am sad to hear this news. DA was a fearless and faithful fighter against illegal immigration. His efforts in Georgia made an impact. He educated many and influenced legislation.

Thank you, GRIP1, for the tribute to DA, too.
