    Three years after legislators passed the Georgia Security and Immigration Act, considered to be among the toughest in the nation, there’s still a strong push for tough renforcement against illegal immigration in the state.

    Do appreciate your attempt to search tx2st. 'Georgia' would probably bring up many articles. As a suggestion, perhaps search for an unusual word or words such as the writer of the article which would have brought it up immediately.
