Amid the public uproar over the murder of nursing student Laken Riley, Georgia’s Republican leadership is debating a bill to reduce the damage caused by President Joe Biden’s flood of illegal migrants into the state.
Much of the backroom debate is focused on the draft legislation by Rep. Jesse Petrea (R-166) that would set criminal penalties against local sheriffs who do not alert federal agencies when they are holding illegal migrants in jails, said D.A. King. He is the founder of the Dustin Inman Society, which advocates for state-level curbs on illegal immigration.
The Petrea bill is important, said King, because the sheriffs’ failures to report their jailed illegal immigrants for deportation are turning the state into a sanctuary for 500,000 illegal immigrants, including Riley’s alleged killer, he told Breitbart News.
Republican leaders and legislators are arguing over the bill, he said, and “the worst thing that could possibly happen is they may take out or reduce the criminal penalties [on sheriffs] and put in financial penalties or which effectively hit the voters of those jurisdictions,” not the sheriffs.

It is disgusting that laws must be passed to force the enforcement of laws.
Lol
At my age, I remember all those people... don’t ask me when I ate or took medicine...duh
Could NOT care less
Words mean things
Love you Sweetie...
Big hugs....
How are you ???
Georgia two huge lobbies. The Agra guys and the real estate developers. They all want the illegals. We are over run with them. Its sickening.
Another day, another yawn!
Wonder what’s for dinner.
“The Agra guys and the real estate developers. They all want the illegals.”
They want cheap labor, legal or illegal. The farmers want people to plant and harvest crops, and the real estate developers and the contractors want people who will pour concrete, frame houses, apartment buildings, and office buildings, and install or replace roofs. The rural whites and rural and urban blacks who used to do that work have been entirely displaced by Hispanics/Latinos.
Thank you Nana.
I’m upright today!

Sad about losing my old home to Bidens green agenda. My kids are there. Illegal Aliens won’t even want it now.
