To be fair, the resolution does include removing all government welfare programs as a premise. And it's not worthless given it does actually reflect the LP platform. It's not detrimental to communicate the ideas that we, as an organization, believe in.
Is the ExComm just not very interested in moving on this? Not hearing a ton of feedback except the Nays. Had some positive feedback in the Slack channel.

I recently had a member of the Radical Caucus in Georgia reach out to me with a proposal for a resolution. I think we should discuss it before any kind of vote. Once someone feels strongly enough that we are ready to vote, we'll need a motion and a second.
"WHEREAS the Libertarian Party of Georgia condemns massive roundups by the federal government of Hispanic-Americans and others in a hunt for foreign nationals not possessing required government documents, and;
WHEREAS those suspected of being undocumented foreign nationals are denied the fundamental freedom to labor and to move about un-molested, and;
WHEREAS the Libertarian Party opposes welfare payments to foreign nationals just as we oppose welfare payments to all other persons;
THEREFORE, BE IT NOW RESOLVED THAT the Libertarian Party of Georgia calls for the lifting of all restrictions on immigration and for full amnesty for currently undocumented foreign nationals;
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT we support the abolition of the Border Patrol and of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement.--
In Liberty,
Ryan Graham
Chair, Libertarian Party of Georgia
