Thank you, Senator Moore. Lieutenant Governor Burke.
Jones. Good morning, Senators and citizens.
I stand before you a heartbroken man.
Part of my purpose has been taken.
God gave me a beautiful daughter to father,
protect, provide for and nurture.
A man with an evil heart stole her life.
He was in this country and in this state illegally,
my vision for every senator in this chamber.
Is that you protect citizens from this illegal invasion?
Please recognize over a million illegal aliens are in this
state and making families nervous.
Please recognize Athens Clarke is a sanctuary city.
And this policy and the lack of action led to
the murder of my daughter.
There are a few of you in this chamber that
are standing up and working on a solution to protect
us.
For that, my family is thankful.
Lincoln is thankful.
Governor Kemp, please declare an invasion to detain and deport
criminal illegals so we can prevent future families from those
tragedies.
Hundreds of women and children each month that are being
smuggled,
coerced and trafficked in our state.
There are they are victims,
just like Lakin.
I thank you for honoring Lincoln in this way,
and I humbly ask you to do more to protect
us.
She and my family mean the world to me.
I'd like to also recognize Senator Colton Moore and Michael
Gargiulo are great men fighting for freedom and security in
our state.
They were there for our family throughout this process.
I thank them and each of you for this opportunity
to hear from our family and to hear our cry
for help so we can protect others as Lakin would
have wanted. God be with our state and each of
you,
Thank you.
