Gov. Nathan Deal
Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal signed Georgia's immigration enforcement bill earlier today that requires businesses in the state with more than 10 employees to use E-Verify. The bill also cracks down on individuals that transport or harbor illegal aliens and allows police to check the immigration status of certain suspects and arrest them if they are found to be in the country illegally.

The immigration enforcement bill, HB87, aims at reducing one of the nation's largest illegal alien populations. The Pew Hispanic Center estimates that Georgia's illegal alien population is 425,000.

Beginning on July 1, HB87 will require:

•Local and state police will be empowered to arrest illegal immigrants and take them to state and federal jails.
•People who use fake identification to get a job in Georgia could face up to 15 years in prison and up to $250,000 in fines.
•People who -- while committing another crime -- knowingly transport or harbor illegal immigrants or encourage them to come to Georgia could face penalties. First-time offenders would face imprisonment for up to 12 months and up to $1,000 in fines.
•A seven-member Immigration Enforcement Review Board would be established to investigate complaints about local and state government officials not enforcing state immigration-related laws.
•Government officials who violate state laws requiring cities, counties and state government agencies to use E-Verify could face fines of up to $10,000 and removal from office.
•The state Agriculture Department will be directed to study the possibility of creating Georgia's own guest-worker program. Some Georgia employers have complained the federal government's guest-worker program is too burdensome and expensive.
Beginning on January 1 of next year, HB87 will require:

•State and local government agencies must start requiring people applying for public benefits -- such as food stamps, housing assistance and business licenses -- to provide at least one “secure and verifiableâ€

•Government officials who violate state laws requiring cities, counties and state government agencies to use E-Verify could face fines of up to $10,000 and removal from office.

That's a new step I believe

Politicians have lost the values of being a representative to the American voice and doing what is right for this nation. Not doing what might give them votes or more money in their "War Chest". I myself would find working in the Capital Buildings would be awesome. All the history that is in those buildings and the people before us that walked in them. That alone would be reason to gladly represent America. AND FEEL PROUD!
