The Republicans of the Georgia are pushing for a hard immigration with a new invoice

This weekend, the US immigration and customs authorities confirmed that it is currently carrying out operations in Atlanta. Arrests were made in Brookhaven, Chamblee, Doraville, Lilburn and a church in Tucker. On Monday, the Republicans of Georgia will follow with the introduction of the Senate Act 21.

The Senator of Georgia State Blake Tilley, a Republican from Vidalia, designed the law. It dispenses with the sovereign immunity for law enforcement officers who do not report on detainees. Tilley also emphasizes the need for a greater responsibility of the government.

“The citizens of our state demand that they have to go home when they commit a crime while they are here. We don't need anyone who commits crimes against our citizens who are illegal here, ”said Tilley.

In addition, the public law enables the public to sue sheriffs or prison attendants if they do not tell the federal agent about undocumented immigrants in their prisons.

The state representative Gabriel Sanchez, a democrat from Smyrna, accuses the government of frightening all immigrants.

“It makes me very, very sad to see such a destruction in our communities to be honest, because that's what they are doing,” said Sanchez. “They destroy our communities. And it's not just immigrant communities, it is our entire community. “

“The weapons of fear of intimidating immigrant communities hurts all of us,” said the US Congressman Hank Johnson in a statement. “The suspension of the refugee program and the freezing of financial resources for refugees who are already here have an adverse effect on Clarkston, the center of our resettlement efforts. This is a serious mistake. Refugees enrich our communities, promote diversity and create jobs. “

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Bureau of alcohol, tobacco, firearms and explosives (ATF) and the administration of the drug authority (DEA) also take part in these raids.
