“There was a man before his time,” said Marci McCarthy, chairman of the Republican Party Dekalb County. “He really dedicated his life to the burden of immigration policy, the guarantee of existing laws and the general protection of our communities.”
King died of cancer on March 5, said his 42 -year -old wife Sue Lanier King. He was 72.
“He was only about securing borders and enforcing laws, and he would not stop,” she said.
The Southern Poverty Law Center classified the Dustin Inman Society, which King founded in 2003 as an anti-immigration hate, and claims that it is “as an organization that deals with questions of immigration, but focuses on the defamation of all immigrants”. The group has sued the SPLC and claims that the description is wrong and defamatory because the group only contradicts the illegal immigration. According to an online docket of national cases, legal proceedings for October are planned.
King often told a story that he helped Latino neighbors to move to a house nearby, and was angry when they put cars on the lawn and people in the house. He said they said to him: “Your laws do not apply to us and it is our culture to park six cars on the unmoiced lawn.”
He was an integral part of the state Capitol, which was committed to laws, of which he said that they would protect American jobs and values and protect Americans from crimes committed by immigrants.
King worked for years last year when the general assembly of Georgia adopted the house law 1105, the law to persecute Georgia Criminal Alien. The law obliges the local law enforcement agencies to notify the US immigration and customs employment if an official arrives at an immigrant without legal permission in the United States. It also says prisons and prisons who do not give up a quarterly over prisoners without losing federal aid without the statutory permission of being in the US risk.
“It was long overdue, but the efforts were carried out from there,” said Mary Grabar, member of the advisory board of the Dustin Inman Society.
King first named his organization the American Resistance Foundation, but changed his name to remind a teenager driver from Georgia, who was killed in a wreck caused by an immigrant without legal permission.
King was not afraid of controversy or mixed it out with anyone.
He described the former review body of the state immigration “a parody of a kangaroo court that had a corrupt leadership”.
In a meeting of the Cobb County Board of Commissioners 2013, King pulled out a fake rattles snake and said: “People who have no respect for immigration laws come to our country and lower wages and could take on the work of our poorest … could easily qualify as a rattling snake.” He then used his blog to publicly insult the commissioners who did not agree to him.
At that time, King had attracted enough attention that the New York Times wrote a short profile of him. After that, Bill Nigut, who was then head of the Southeast Office of the Anti-Defamation League, criticized the profile for the fact that he had left King's “long history of the use of coded language and hate speeches against immigrants”.
King “claims that the United States is” penetrated and colonized “by a 'Mexican mob that brings a culture of lawlessness and chaos”. He described the Hispanic Immigration in Georgia as the “Hispandering” of Georgia, which he calls Georgiafornia, “wrote Nigut 2013 during the Adl. Nigut is also a former employee of Atlanta Journal Constitution.
Jerry Gonzalez, executive director of the Georgia Association of Latino officers elected at the time, described King's Stances as “extremist xenophobic narrative”.
The king's supporters have a different perspective.
Judy Craft von Cumming said that King was “an enormous influence in Georgia, Georgia to make a safer place and try to protect work from the Americans who are taken from people who would work for less.”
Josh McKoon, a former senator and chairman of the Republican party Georgia, said that the Southern Poverty Law Center and others spread “dangerous rhetoric” about king. He met King for the first time in 2011, when he worked on HB 87, a law to enforce immigration. Over the next seven years, they worked with different success on several measures, said McKoon.
“What saw clarity and passion that only a few saw was the clear and current danger that was created for the United States of America,” he said.
“You couldn't have a loyal friend or eager lawyer than there,” said McKoon. “In many ways, he was a prophet and identified the problem of the immigration years years before President Trump made it the cause of American conservatives and never gave in with extraordinary pressure.”
