Georgia
I would like to introduce OD readers and the Alternative Right community to the highly effective activism of a Southern and Georgia-based immigration patriot, D.A. King. He is arguably the most effective immigration patriot activist in the South.
His success is do to very hard, personal work and focus – he picks one issue – bad immigration, illegal immigration – and he uses effective, time tested propaganda, advertising, and lobbying. He gets things done, plays to win and wins.
Those who are our side in the South and other regions need to step up and follow D.A. King’s example and become effective activists in their local area:
Here are some surprisingly fair comments about Mr. King from the New York Times:
“ATLANTA — He says the United States is filling up with immigrants who do not respect the law or the American way of life. He refers to Latino groups as “the tribalists,” saying they seek to impose a divisive ethnic agenda. Of his many adversaries, he says: “The illegal alien lobby never changes. It’s the Wall Street wing of the Republican Party joining forces with the Chamber of Commerce, the far left and the Democrats in an effort to expand cheap labor and increase voting for the Democratic Party.”…
“D. A. King, who quit his job as an insurance agent a decade ago to wage a full-time campaign against illegal immigration in Georgia, is one reason this state rivals Arizona for the toughest legal crackdown in the country. With his Southern manners and seersucker jackets, he works the halls of the gold-domed statehouse, familiar to all, polite and uncompromising. ”
“Mr. King says his wrath grew slowly, beginning in the 1990s with a feud with Mexican neighbors who disrupted the quiet of his leafy street. In Mr. King’s account, they parked fleets of run-down vehicles on their lawn and at one point housed 22 people in a jerry-built warren of rental rooms in the basement. ”
“In Georgia, Mr. King has not been afraid to take on many adversaries, including the farmers and growers, business organizations, labor unions and Latinos. A big-shouldered former Marine, he often shows up with his own placards at rallies called by his opponents — just to let them know he is watching. …”
Especially considering our side’s resources are limited, we have to pick winning issues and stick to them. For instance, FAIR is going to spend $200K in media markets in and near Paul Ryan’s Congressional district to thump him over amnesty and open borders. If this leads to a D.A. King type primarying Ryan and beating him next year, and more importantly than that, it is plainly understood immigration is the reason, that $200K will resonate very far and very widely; politicians will notice. Paul Ryan isn’t some nobody, he heads a major Congressional committee and was his party’s nominee for Vice-President last year. Knocking him out for immigration would get the attention of every elected Republican. Then nobody will want to touch an open borders bill with a ten foot pole.
If that happens, then the $200K that FAIR spends in WI-1 will have far better consequences than every penny Ron Paul ever spent running for President.
Let’s see if he will support the Uvalda rally.
The Ron Paul Revolution was an enormous waste of time and money. The Tea Party was an even bigger waste.
The reason that the League is holding the Uvalda rally is because Georgia’s immigration law is not being properly enforced:

Most of the TPM is behaving rather well on the immigration issue, so we have to cut them some slack on that. However, the reason they don’t have long term credibility in terms of solving things the way we want them solved is because the TPM is basically warmed over Reaganism with sort of a baked right-libertarian edge, definitely not overly ethnonationalist. This is why I cringe at theories that some neo-con cigar muncher on the top floor of a skyscraper “swooped down” and ruined-compromised-confused the TPM, because no such thing had to happen: The TPM already came to the game already flawed, because of their ideological presuppositions.
Here’s why I think it is a waste of time to vote for Republicans:
1.) Here in Alabama, the Republicans control every branch of the state government. They passed the “toughest” immigration law in America, HB 56, but it was gutted in the federal courts and isn’t being enforced properly.
2.) Jeff Sessions and Richard Shelby voted against the amnesty in the Senate, but because of the existence of the Union, they were outvoted by Democrats from the Northeast, Upper Midwest, and the West Coast.
3.) Obama is issuing executive order amnesties by fiat without the approval of Congress.
4.) It’s a waste of time to vote for Republicans because even the ones who are on our side like Jeff Sessions are sabotaged by their own leadership. In the Senate, Mitch McConnell let the amnesty come to the floor. In the House, John Boehner is conspiring with Eric Cantor to sneak the amnesty past the House Republicans.
5.) When Republicans run for president like John McCain or Vice President like Paul Ryan, they lie about their position on immigration, and “evolve” like Rand Paul and Marco Rubio when they get into office.
The only thing that is going to be accomplished by voting for Republicans is a handful of token symbolic gestures to keep “the base” happy like HB 56 or SB 1070 which will be dismantled by the federal courts. The donor class is the real power in the Republican Party, they call the shots when it comes to policy, and they want the amnesty and at some point down the road they are going to get it.
We’re never going to “fix” the Republican Party. See Rand Paul.
Yeah, the tea party succeeded in putting people like Paul Ryan in charge.
That’s right.
It was the Tea Party that put Republicans in charge of the House in the 2010 election. The only thing that accomplished was empowering John Boehner and Eric Cantor who are now trying to pass the amnesty.
What’s the point of voting for a party whose leadership is going to work to sabotage you at critical junctures – like in the Senate cloture vote on amnesty – and pass an agenda that is completely and utterly opposed to your own?
Having watched D.A. King confront illegals and the people who hire them in my hometown, I can say that I truly appreciate the fight he has waged for years. D.A. King was a hero of the anti-immigration movement before most people understood there was a need for a movement, let alone that there was a movement.
Now this is a King I can get behind having a holiday for.
Next February, I’m celebrating D. A. King Day.

Well said.
The Ron Paul Revolution was an enormous waste of time and money.
Only because of the dunderheads that thought they were playing it safe by voting for Romney in the primary.
Here’s why I think it is a waste of time to vote for Republicans:
Say what? Have you ever voted for anyone else?

Jack Ryan responds:
Oh dear – the Ron Paul, Rand Paul Libertarian cult never goes away, liking Vampires the “undead” they refuse to die or just go away. I once argued that Ron Paul just became a spineless, race denying idiot because he got old and senile, but this traitor idiot was preaching immigration treason way back in 1988 when he ran for President of the United States on the Libertarian Party ticket and won less than 1%. That’s zero percent – the natural winning result of race denying libertarian loons.
If you haven’t heard Ron Paul promoting immigration genocide of our people in 1988, hear it now and practice your curses:
