what you think about the new law in GA about the immigrants?
369721
There are so many far more important issues, this GA law will be of no use when the Federal law comes out soon. It has been a waste of time.\n\nWhy don't they focus on getting rid of gangs instead? \n\nThere are lots of Black and White gangs in Georgia, there are areas that you should not get into if you want to be alive.\n\nAnd it is not a matter of color, it is a matter of priority.\nOK, they get rid of all illegals, and what about their other problems? Why is the GA Government so fast for somethings and so slow or blind to others?

If you mean the new one it is to get cheap labor for big business, if it passes.  However, no one knows what it will be like yet, until when and if it survives in the Bill when it goes to the House. \n\nThe idea is that if the border is sealed, we will need more legal immigration.  This will be better because we can screen the people who come.  However, many think that letting more come before the border is secure is the wrong way to go. (I'm one of them.)  We need to see what comes out of the House.

I feel angry, frustate at this ugly situation. It is not fair that other immigrants from Europe, with good working references, knowledge of the English language and trustful\nresponsible sponsor have to wait years before they get in the quota list while these illegal can be here in a matter of days just by get over the fence. ARIZONA people earns all\nmy respect for protecting their borders and their jobs while\nCalifornians just sits and watch and waits.

Living in Arizona close to the boarder. I think that it is a good think. The boarder patrol have limited number of people and need some break coverage just like us from work. The imigrants come over here and when the do they leave trash ragged clothes and things just lying around where the camp. I have seen it. There are also so many deaths of immigrants trying to cross over here, no one deserves do die like that. I am not against them coming over here if they abide by our rules, and don't live of our tax dollers, we have enought Americans that do that. \nAnyway this is what the National Guard is supposed to do, their job is to stay state side, not go to Irag, and guard our boarders.

i dont think the immigration law is all that good.  most people who are here illegally do jobs most americans would not want to do anyway.  Not to mention, at one point in time someone in our past immigrated here, what gives us the right to say we can be here, but you cant, its supposed to be a free country

I support the immigration bill & also fully agree with you.  Also, all illegals should have to pass the laws & tests we now have to become LEGAL through naturalization, once they follow the rest of the new bill.  Flooding the country with millions of unskilled laborers is hurting our economy by not allowing U.S. citizens to have jobs for their families.  Millions of other immigrants came to this country & didn't demand to have U. S. citizens or the government able to speak their language.  I was born in America. My grandfather came from Asia LEGALLY & could not speak English.  He did not demand anyone to speak his native tongue nor did any other Asian.  When he got to the then U. S. territory of Hawaii he had to work in the sugar cane fields carrying 100 lb. bundles of sugar cane on his back all day long after cutting the cane down.  Today, I don't see any signs saying, "We speak Vietnamese, or We speak Japanese, or We speak Korean, or We speak Laotian, or We speak Cambodian."   Nor do I see any signs saying, "We speak German, or We speak French, or We speak Danish, or We speak Norwegian, or We speak Russian."  So I'm sick of seeing signs saying, "Se Habla Espanol."  No one should be treated as a privileged character, especially ILLEGALS.

I have not seen anything on the Internet yet. It seems to me that the ones supporting illegals being in this country are being more racist then the ones trying to kick them out. People need to grow up and answer a question without having to go the racist route in their answers

I guess to appreciate the new law you have to be on the "receiving" end.\n\nMy sister was renting her house to someone. After a few months of hardship stories, she finally had to start evicting them after $2000 in back rent had accumulated.  \n\nThen they filed for bankruptcy.  \n\nThen 2 days after the creditors meeting, they apply and get a brand new mortgage, putting down $5000 on the loan.\n\nThat's abuse of the bankruptcy system.\n\nNow, on the other hand, we see the 78 year old retiree who runs up $20,000 in medical bills.  No way to ever catch up, rent runs behind, credit cards get maxed out.....\n\nOr the husband with 2 kids, factory worker getting $25 an hour and thinks his job is secure.  Gets laid off, can't find any jobs that pay more then $9 an hour.  Wife can't work cause she's raising kids.......\n\nIn both of these cases, creditors don't care.  They want their money.  Collection agents relently hound and threaten them.\n\nYeah, I know both sides of the story.

LOL glad we got all the ugly stuff out of the way first.\n\nWell this is a very good question. I am going to have to surf on some Georgia info I see. Maybe they will be the example for others to follow. One way or another something has to give.\n\nThe reason our government isnt handeling it as of yet? They are owned by corporations now, just as our media is. Sad but true. Corporation's are behind the tremendious backing going on at the moment. To pay for the massive propaganda that is being put out to the American public. Many of us have been very active the last few days, in areas of repeated emails to congress and the president over the issues and how we REALLY feel and VOTE on it. A quite bombardment. Internet polls all reflect 95% against Amnesty. So its coming down to who shouts the loudest and has access to all the forms of media to inform those not on the internet. Yes many many are beyond outradge at their lack of protection and responsibilty to these matters.\n\nThere has been a large increase at the boarders. Minuetmen are very much in need of more members. My guess is that National guard will end up the next alternative. But, to be honest that is what they are for. Protecting OUR country. And were not meant to be sent overseas.\n\nThis is one area we may have been underestimated in. The American drive when they want something and when they have been threatened. And as of late their biggest tactic besides lies and propaganda has been threats and intimadation. Americans don't take to well to demands and threats.\n\nPlease email me some website links about the changes being made in Georgia and how they are being made.

"These immigrants are fighting to embrace this nation."\n\nThat is funny.  Of course, how did I miss it.  Waving a foreign flag, speaking a foreign language, demanding free services, bastardizing the National Anthem.  Sound like their trying to embrace this nation - in a war!\n\nI believe that this is going to backfire on them.  In California we need to stop electing these people who hate living in this country.  That's the only reason I can explain why they would boycott it.

The new immigrants aren't any different.  The US is different.  I'm not sure how exactly... maybe we get scared easily.  The law in my view will do more harm than good... in fact I'm not sure what the good is... but I believe it will add to the resentment towards the US and particularly the government.  The resentment, however, will not offset the prospects of a healthy economy; there will always be immigrants coming into the US.

First of all, immigrant come here illegally because there is no EASY way to come here. If there was an easier way to come here without immpossible expectations many would do so.The laws are more like how lucky you are as opposed to how deserving you are.I like your viewpoint!

I am not surprised.  You break one law.  Who cares after that.  I see alot of crime in my city.  96% hispanic.  It is heartbreaking.  The neighborhoods look like slums.  If they are so great with housekeeping and lawns, why don't they take care of their own.  Better yet why don't they just go home.

I think that the immigration law is completely idiotic. This country was built upon the combining of different cultures and people and for you to say that you are going to limit that is absolutely wrong. \n   Also the main group of people this is going to affect is Mexicans who come over here to work in order to support their families. If this law passes it would be absolutely devastating not only to them but to this country. The jobs that they do are jobs that most Americans find to be beneath them and are not willing to do. So who will do those jobs? Will Americans as adamantly as they are proposing this law will they rise up and dot he hard manual labor these people do .. I think not...

I'd say the House Bill is a good start...strengthening the punishment for illegally crossing our boarders may set examples out of these criminals.  This bill also increases the penalties against those who aid these criminals and anyone who hires them.  Once you hit employers in the pocketbooks, they will listen.  The only thing is that we need to do is enforce the law...to my knowledge, this bill doesn't really change any immigration law, just strengthens the penalty for the crime.

My parents were not legal Immigrants, but I am. For myself it wasn't that difficult, to get here from Scotland. It took effort and a lot of paper work, and a sponser, to guarantee, my welfare, for the first six months.\n I got a job early, and put no burden on my sponser. But I was covered by his generosity.\nOther legal immigrants from other nations, had the same problems as I did, some worse, due to the old quota systems. But they too all waited in lines, saw Doctors, got X-rays, filled reams of paper work, and did the right thing.\nIt angers me to see those illegals, sneak, or really, openly cross our borders.  They seem to think they are entitiled to do so. They see no crime being committed, and other latinos who were born here, or whos parents, got here, illegally or legally, try to help them out, and can't see what they are doing to our health system and schools.\nI think the politicians are working hand in glove with businesses, to supply this latest form of cheap labor.It lowers all our standard of living. See how expensive health care is now, if it's even available, and out pension plans, going down the tube. All of this isn't all due to illegal immigration, but it certainly isn't helped by it.\nWe need to control our borders and immigration. What other country would allow over twelve million illegals amongst them. \nI have no bias, against those people who are just trying to better their lives, for them and their families. But how much better would it be, if they did that in there own Country.\nMexico, could easily be a first world country, given its natural resources, and the skill and hard work of their natives. But their Government is too corrupt, and so few own the majority of the wealth of their nation, and aren't willing to share, it with the less fortunate amongst their people.
