DULUTH — A Gwinnett House member is calling on Gov. Nathan Deal to veto immigration legislation approved by the General Assembly last week.

State Rep. Pedro Marin, D-Duluth, who was one of the first Hispanic legislators elected to the General Assembly, sent a letter to Deal on Thursday about House Bill 87, which mirrors a controversial Arizona law that gives the state the ability to enforce immigration law.

Marin wrote that the bill could have a significant impact on Georgia’s economy with possible boycotts, lawsuits, red tape, costs to local government and a loss of migrant labor on agriculture and other industries.

“By vetoing this legislation, you have the ability to keep our state safe from a tidal wave of economic damage that would surely come if HB 87 were to become law,â€

State Rep. Pedro Marin, D-Duluth... now how did we know this would be a hispanic?

Rep Marin, you most definitely have your priorities in the WRONG place; you are promoting invaders over your LEGAL constituents!

It is amazing how some of these law makers continue to get away with thumbing their noses at the laws that should have been enforced. They act with total disregard for laws that are supposed to protect the whole of the communities and society, our states, and our country in general.

It seems down right traitorous on their part. I wonder how they justify in their mind all of the crimes committed by people who are not supposed to be here? Where is the justice for all of the victims of these illegals?

Seems as there ought to be some way these traitors could be brought up on charges of treason, or neglect of duty, or something.

Deal has said he would sign the bill into law.

Way to go Gov. Deal!
