Immigration Equality

[Kätzchen]

Hi, Good morning!

I just had a private conversation with another member here about the political climate surrounding Immigration Law and how it's being construed in the US state of Georgia.

I have a series of questions this morning, since learning that Georgia has been aggressively rewriting or over-writing current law at a state level in Georgia:

• How is it that lawmakers in Georgia are getting away with doing this?
• Would you say the process is isomorphic in that currently construed law mirrors the will of the people of the state of Georgia?
• Are people in positions of power there that hateful?
• Who's feeding their coffers that enables and allows this type of social injustice?

I ask these questions on behalf of my Femme friend, Vlasta. She is suffering dire consequences to the structure of her family life and the life of her sons' very existence. She and her family stand to suffer significantly if the state of Georgia is successful in ousting her son from the face of the population in Georgia. I worry for my friend and what options she is able to exercise on behalf of her son's best interest. I fail to see how the state of Georgia is allowed to exercise this type of authority and power in coercive and racially motivated ways.

Vlasta's son has a new court date in early January (I believe it occurs on the 9th) and I am making inquiries here to see if other members are able to supply information they might hold about how matters of Immigration are handled in the state of Georgia. I recently learned that rules now on the books will be obsolete by the week of Vlasta's sons' court appearance and I worry that the tidal wave of change will snuff out the life of her son, and his small family (their plight) and Vlasta's life.

The questions I have listed above are important to me but the most important question I have right now, is this:

Who can a person turn to, as an advocate - other than a lawyer who specializes in Immigration Law - whose legal voice will empower them past this mine field of hate?

If anyone knows who has the power to overturn the wheels of hate in Georgia, will you please post a message here or send me note via the PM system here. The current window of time is limited to two weeks. Also, I wonder if there is a powerful lobby who advocates on behalf of those who are caught up in the web of misuse of power, such as this case that is transpiring in the state of Georgia?

Thank you in advance for any insight or help you are able to offer.
