CONOCE TUS DERECHOS- EN QUE CONSITE LA LEY HB 1105

El proyecto de ley 1105 fue aprobado en la sesión legislativa 2023-24 de Georgia el 28 de marzo de 2024. Ahora, la legislación anti-inmigrante se dirige hacia el escritorio del gobernador Brian Kemp para su consideración. El gobernador Kemp tiene tres opciones con respecto a HB 1105. Él puede firmar el proyecto de ley, vetarlo, o no firmarlo. Si Kemp opta por no firmar, HB 1105 se convertirá automáticamente en ley en Georgia. Si el gobernador decide firmar el proyecto de ley, tiene hasta el 7 de mayo de 2024.

Si se aprueba, la HB 1105 obligaría a las autoridades locales a solicitar la firma de contratos 287(g) que asignan a las autoridades locales para hacer cumplir la ley federal de inmigración. Esta política desastrosa resultaría en más perfil racial, aterrorizaría a las comunidades de inmigrantes y malgastaría los recursos locales.

GLAHR, sus miembros de la comunidad y las organizaciones aliadas se han opuesto a HB 1105 desde que se introdujo por primera vez a la legislatura de Georgia el 1/31/24. En nuestra lucha contra el dañino proyecto de ley, lanzamos una campaña de cartas con más de 5,000 firmas pidiendo a los políticos que dijeran NO a la HB 1105 y celebramos rallies denunciándola. Cientos de esas cartas iban dirigidas explícitamente al gobernador Kemp, exigiéndole que vetara la HB 1105. Junto con socios aliados en el Capitolio de Georgia, GLAHR entregó las cartas a la oficina del gobernador.

Es hora de reconocer y valorar el esfuerzo y la contribución de la comunidad inmigrante. No son sólo parte de la economía de Georgia; son parte de su alma. Gobernador Kemp, le instamos a #vetoHB1105. ¡Honremos y protejamos la diversidad que nos fortalece!


House Bill 1105 passed out of Georgia’s 2023-24 Legislative Session on March 28, 2024. Now, the anti-immigrant legislation heads toward Governor Brian Kemp’s desk for consideration. Governor Kemp has three options regarding HB 1105. He can either sign the bill into law, veto it, or not sign it. If Kemp chooses not to sign, HB 1105 will automatically become law in Georgia. If the governor decides to sign the bill, he has until May 7, 2024.

 

If passed into law, HB 1105 would mandate local law enforcement to apply to enter into 287(g) contracts that deputize local law enforcement to enforce federal immigration law. This disastrous policy would result in racial profiling, terrorize immigrant communities and waste local resources.

 

GLAHR, its community members and ally organizations have opposed HB 1105 since it was first introduced to Georgia’s legislature on 1/31/24. In our fight against the harmful bill, we launched a letter campaign with over 5,000 signatures asking politicians to say NO to HB 1105 and held rallies denouncing it. Hundreds of those letters were explicitly directed toward Governor Kemp, demanding he Veto HB 1105! Alongside ally partners at the Georgia Capitol, GLAHR delivered the letters to the governor’s office.

 

 

It’s time to recognize and value the relentless effort and contribution of the immigrant community. They’re not just part of Georgia’s economy; they’re part of its soul. Governor Kemp, we urge you to #vetoHB1105. Let’s honor and protect the diversity that strengthens us!
