Georgia GOP Urges for Full Immigration Moratorium with Millions Jobless

by John Binder 16 Jun 2020

The Georgia Republican Party is set to pass a resolution asking President Trump to impose a full immigration moratorium while about 30 million Americans remain jobless due to the Chinese coronavirus crisis.

In April, Trump signed an executive order pausing employment-based green cards — a narrow portion of overall immigration that accounts for less than ten percent. Since then, grassroots activists with American worker advocates and college student groups have urged Trump to halt the inflow of H-1B visas, H-2B visas, OPT visas, L-1 visas, and the J-1 visa program.

Those visa categories represent millions of U.S. jobs that are outsourced every year to imported foreign workers in the STEM fields, the nonagricultural industry, white-collar industries, and summer work programs that would otherwise go to America’s working and middle class.
Now, the Georgia GOP is set to be the first state party to support a full immigration moratorium. Currently, Georgia has an unemployment rate of nearly 12 percent — only slightly lower than the national average.

The resolution states:

A RESOLUTION SUPPORTING PRESIDENT TRUMP’S EXECUTIVE ORDER TO PROTECT AMERICAN JOBS
WHEREAS, President Donald J. Trump has issued an executive order limiting immigration into our country during the present health and economic crisis; [Emphasis added]

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Georgia Republican Party commends and supports President Donald J. Trump’s leadership in protecting American jobs during the pandemic by restricting immigration during the present health and economic crisis. [Emphasis added]

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Georgia Republican Party urges President Trump to issue a second executive order that removes the various special interest exceptions to the first executive order and shall strictly limit new immigration visas until the economy reaches its pre-pandemic unemployment rate of no greater than 3.5 percent. [Emphasis added]

Set to be passed this week, the urge for an immigration moratorium has overwhelming support, about 93 percent, from members who responded to a poll of party delegates.

The resolution is the first time in recent memory that a state Republican Party has joined the overwhelming majority of the GOP electorate in supporting reductions and a halt on immigration.

For years, Republican voters have told pollsters that they support major reductions to immigration and, at times of high unemployment, support no net immigration. Young Republicans tend to be the most skeptical of immigration.

Conversely, the donor class and big business lobby have asked Trump not only to continue the visa pipeline but expand legal immigration, claiming there is a labor shortage.

As Breitbart News has chronicled, the nation’s mass importation of foreign visa workers helps redistribute and shift hundreds of billions in wealth to blue states, already prosperous metropolises, and the richest of Americans.

Every year, the U.S. admits about 1.2 million legal immigrants on green cards to permanently resettle in the country. In addition, another 1.4 million foreign workers are admitted every year to take American jobs. Often, Americans are fired and replaced by foreign visa workers. Many are forced to train their foreign replacements.

Get illegal aliens processed and OUT of our detention centers, including the UACs, and send them back into the care and custody of their countries authorities. They can relocte within their own country. They are their President's responsibility.

No more detention, this is costing us billions of dollars that should be invested in our communities. Fast track the children, sick ones, and pregnant ones out of here.

Apprehend them, process them within 90 minutes and deport them back over the FIRST border they illegally crossed. Give the Border Patrol a App for their phone or tablet to process, fingerprint them in the Field and call for a bus to bus them back over the border. No need to take them to "processing" centers. Get them out quickly.

We are not their Travel Agent, no more free flights that we pay for. Let their Embassy make and pay for their transportation back home, or no more Visas and Work Permits should be issued to these countries.

They travel thousands of miles to come here, why should U.S. taxpayers foot the bill to fly millions back home? This is outrages!

No DACA deal, they need to go home, the entire family. No Amnesty #8. Deals do NOT work or we would not be on Free Pass Number 8. They need to go and what they have taken from us is not free, we pay for it.

End birthright citizenship. Their offspring are not U.S. citizens, issue them a Certificate of Child Born Abroad.

Just because someone comes here on vacation legally with a Visa, or comes here illegally, and gives birth does NOT make that child a U.S. citizen! Their countries laws state if they give birth on foreign soil then that child IS a citizen of their country. Not only that, they do NOT pay the hospital bill, we do! We cannot afford our own health insurance and we should not be FORCED to pay for this!

No more refugees, TPS, asylum, illegal aliens. We have no housing, we have MILLIONS of our own citizens to take care of. These countries need to take care of their own citizens.

No enrollment of illegal aliens in our schools. This is in violation of our Federal Immigration Laws AIDING and abetting illegal aliens, and awarding them to stay in our country with OUR tax dollars paying for this! $15,000 per illegal alien, per year, in our overcrowded schools. Our tax dollars that should be giving teachers raises, repairing our schools, and spent on our children.

End Dual Citizenship. You are an American citizen or you are not.

No foreigners should be permitted to buy up our real estate. Lease only.

Clean this massive immigration problem up and stop GIVING our citizenship away to millions of people.

We need to preserve our land, our water, our housing, our farms, our peace and our prosperity and they should be doing the same in their countries. We are not the solution, or the ATM machine, for the world's problems. We have our own hot mess to clean up.
