Former Sen. David Perdue: 'Crime is out of control.'
Former Sen. David Perdue held a press conference centered around the issue of crime on Tuesday, the same day Republican Gov. Brian Kemp signed pivotal Second Amendment legislation into law.ceremony of Georgia’s new constitutional carry law, which allows law-abiding Georgians to carry firearms without a permit.
Gov. Brian Kemp hands a pen to Rep. Mandi Ballinger after he signed a bill which will allow permitless carry in Georgia Tuesday, April 12, 2022. Perdue said another issue exacerbating crime rates is illegal migration. Perdue charged that the illegal migrant population in Georgia has “exploded” during Kemp’s tenure and that it now exceeds that of Arizona. Perdue compared Georgia to Florida, where Gov. Ron DeSantis has led multiple efforts toon illegal migration, a crisis that has grown in the U.S. largely because of the Biden administration’s open-borders posture.
Later in the conference, Perdue again reiterated Kemp “let the State Patrol deteriorate. Talk to anybody in uniform right now. It’s a lack of leadership. … It’s not considered the elite group that it always was. When I was a kid growing up in Georgia that’s what all the county sheriffs deputies and everybody wanted to aspire to. They wanted to become a State Patrol. This needs to be rebuilt.”
