Guv'ment Senate to vote on "Arizona copycat law" today
Posted by Gwynedd Stuart @gwynnstu on Mon, Apr 11, 2011 at 12:55 PM
Opposition to the bill — which has become increasingly fervent as the legislative session nears its end — has continued to grow. From the AJC:
"[O]n Monday, activists presented [Gov. Nathan] Deal's office with 23,000 petition signatures urging him to stop the measure. Additionally, the head of the Korean American Association of Greater Atlanta last week sent state lawmakers petitions signed by more than 4,000 Korean Americans from Gwinnett County who are opposed to the legislation."
Last week, human rights groups threatened to boycott Georgia if Deal doesn't veto whatever anti-illegal immigrant legislation that lands on his desk.
The state House voted overwhelmingly in favor of the bill back in early March.

The only thing the clock is running out on is Illegal immgrants who flaunt the laws of America and expect
to be handed all that social services will provide while sending billions of dollar's of remitance's to ther home countries each year. Hmm, that makes me wonder why state and local goverment's around the country are having such large budget deficit's.
