Whitfield Co. Georgia is near Dalton Georgia which is the carpet capital of the world. Carpet factories there are known for hiring illegals. A couple of the carpet factories are in court right now for letting go of Americans and hiring illegals instead.

These growing numbers are no surprise expect isn't the carpet factory companies hurting with the depressed real estate market?

Those carpet companies in Georgia are responsible for the massive influx of illegal Mexicans in Georgia. Before that Georgia's hispanic population was very small. Now the state of Georgia is on the same path of Mexifornia.
