House Speaker Jon Burns of Georgia released a statement following an immigration enforcement operation that took place in Bryan County. In his remarks, Burns emphasized the importance of upholding legal standards.
“The United States is a nation founded on the rule of law, and commitment to the rule of law protects us all.
Yesterday’s immigration operation in Bryan County was just that—the enforcement of our laws and regulations. We are greatly appreciative of Hyundai’s cooperation with immigration authorities and state law enforcement officers to ensure each and every worker is in compliance with our federal immigration policies.
The House has proven our commitment to supporting legal immigration and opposing illegal immigration. Here in Georgia, we will continue to uphold the rule of law at every turn.”
Burns has served as a Republican member of the Georgia State House since 2005, representing the 159th District after succeeding Ray Holland.
