Georgia is try to change how illegal immigration affects the state:
'Complaining that the federal government has fallen down on the job, Georgia lawmakers are putting a big bull’s-eye on illegal immigration this year.
The state’s legislative session won't begin until Monday. But lawmakers got started weeks ago, “prefiling” bills that would block illegal immigrants from attending state colleges and punish government contractors who hire them. Yet more legislation is on the way. Much more.
A pair of Republican lawmakers is preparing to file omnibus legislation in each chamber some time in the coming days. On Tuesday, Rep. Matt Ramsey -- a co-chairman of a special study committee on immigration -- outlined for The Atlanta Journal-Constitution what the legislation will likely include:
Ways to encourage more communities to apply to join a federal immigration enforcement program called 287(g). Through the program, local police officers and sheriff's deputies are given the power to question people about whether they are in the country legally and issue arrest warrants, prepare charging documents, and detain and transport people for immigration violations;
Measures to toughen an existing Georgia law requiring state and local government contractors to ensure their employees are eligible to legally work in the United States. The legislation could also include incentives for other private employees to participate in E-Verify, a federal work authorization program;
Provisions to ensure the identification people use to get public benefits in Georgia are “secure and verifiable.” '
It takes 450 days on average to deport an alien from the state. There is currently a huge backlog of immigration cases. It is costing Georgia citizens over $100,000 a day just to house the illegal immigrants awaiting trial/deportation. Illegal aliens, mostly from Mexico, are fucking our economy. We can't keep our schools open here but we can feed beaners. They do good farm work, but I think prisoners should do the farm work and Mexicans should make strong spirits from agave and cactus in their own country to send here.
