Bus tours have become a staple of the American political campaign, but one candidate for governor in the state of Georgia, Michael Williams, wants you to know that his is different: “It’s not going to be one of those pansy political bus tours.” 'Deadly and unconstitutional': Trump attacks California sanctuary cities Read more In a video released on Wednesday, emerging from a grey, prison corrections-style vehicle, the self-proclaimed “fearless conservative” Williams said he planned to “fill this bus with illegals and send them back to where they came from”. On the bus’s rear it reads: “Murderers, rapists, kidnappers, child molestors [sic] and other criminals on board.” Just below, the lettering adds: “Follow me to Mexico.” He’s dubbed it the Deportation Bus Tour, but the easy conflation Williams makes between the undocumented people in the US he calls “illegals” and violent crime is unsupported by the facts. In campaign ads he’s described himself as “Leading The Fight Against Illegal Immigration In Georgia” and he has also pushed hard against so-called sanctuary cities in the state – municipalities which do not allow local law enforcement to collaborate with immigration officials in order to deport undocumented people in their custody. She is a 29-year-old local Dreamer, or recipient of the Daca program, which protects eligible undocumented youth from the threat of deportation but was ordered scrapped by Donald Trump last year and is a huge part of the agonised, ongoing national immigration debate. “People already hate us. Mello came to the US from Brazil when she was seven years old, and her parents worked jobs cleaning homes and delivering car parts to give Mello and her sister the possibility of a better life. The same day Williams set off on his deportation bus tour, Trump was in California for a roundtable discussion on the state’s sanctuary provisions for undocumented people. Williams has admitted that his bus tour isn’t actually planning to round anyone up, nor could it legally, of course. But we will fight back,” Nicholls said. The Republican primary vote is on Tuesday 22 May.
