Williams’ ‘deportation bus’ tour stops short in Newnan BY REBECCA LEFTWICH

becky@newnan.com Michael Williams’ Depor tat ion Bus Tou r c r u i s e d i nto Ne w n a n recently, but supporters of the man and the message were demonstrably absent during his abbreviated appearance. T he G eor g i a g ubernatorial candidate aims to “e x p o s e h ow d a n gerous i llega l a liens r u i n loca l econom ies , cost American jobs, i ncrease hea lt h ca re costs, and lower education standards” by traveling through the state alongside a bus emblazoned with “Follow Me to Mexico” and warning other motorists to stay back 1,000 feet because “da ngerous crimina ls” are on board. His “Fill this bus with illegals – vote Michael Williams” stance wasn’t to o p opu l a r w it h t h e dozen or so protesters who showed up to meet him, carrying signs promot i ng i nclusiv it y a nd voic i n g t h ei r i re at the candidate’s plan for rounding up illegal

immigrants. “ We w a n t t o b r i n g l ig ht i nto t he i m m igration progra m (a nd) a l low s h e r i f f ’s d e p u ties to have ICE agents o n t h e i r s t a f f ,” W i l liams said, giving local aut hor it ies t he power to deport people “once they identify someone that’s been in our count r y i l le g a l ly, com m itting another crime.” A video in which Wi l l ia m s ex pla i ns h is deportation bus was d e l e t e d f r o m Yo u Tu b e , b u t eventually was restored.

But also, Costa R ica has a program that the government pays fa rmers to reforest their land. So the more forested land that you own the more you can get paid from the government. Which is a helpful thing for the farmers.” The rising senior was born in San Diego, Calif. and spent 10 years of his life in Newnan.

It’s shaped a lot of the ways I view how education factors i nto com mu n it y s ervice and how scientific research should be for helpi n g com mu n it ie s grow and thrive, rather tha n purely academic reasons.” H i s i nvolvement i n

leadership programs at Duke has opened doors as well, Brown said. “I think it’s important to be engaged and utilize the opportunities in front of you,” he added. “To make a difference, we have to inform ourselves of what’s going on a rou nd u s . T he se groups help me to do that.” With only a year left in college, Brown said he is contemplating his future. “At times I’m a bit nervous,” he said. “No one actually tells you that senior year you need to be ready to face reality. You have to think about what comes next.”
