WHAT WAS THE GOVERNOR THINKING? - News of the governor’s appointment of a radical anti-enforcement advocate to the board of corrections hit hard for long-time Republican activist Pat Tippett and Kay Godwin of Blackshear, a National Committeewoman for the Georgia Republican Assembly. “This appointment is a slap in the face to all conservatives” said South Georgia’s Pat Tippett, who is a leader of the powerful Georgia Conservatives in Action. Tippett and Godwin are also co-founders of the Georgia Immigration Enforcement Coalition. For conservative Republicans in Georgia, the governor’s appointment of a radical anti-enforcement advocate to the board of corrections is yet another indicator of official arrogance of power and the disconnect between we the people and some GOP officials we elected in good faith. The thought of angry-Jerry Gonzalez marching against our immigration laws one day, schmoozing with other Obama Democrats in the White House the next and then having an official photo posted with three of his subversive GALEO board members and Governor Deal in the Capitol should make all Republicans ask questions. According to the latest official estimates, Georgia ranks number six in the nation in its population of illegal aliens, with a higher number than Arizona. In 2011, first-term governor and former U.S. House member Nathan Deal used an estimate of “$2.4 billion” as the annual cost of illegal immigration to the Georgia taxpayers. As posted on the state Department of Labor’s website, the current official unemployment rate in Georgia is 8.7%.
