Political Fist Fight for immigration enforcement in Georgia!
Friends of Americans for Legal Immigration PAC (ALIPAC):
We have just received an urgent call for assistance out of Georgia. The Open Borders Lobby is planning a mass protest at the state legislature Wed. morning at 10am. The Devil is headed down to Georgia and MALDEF and ACLU are mobilizing their troops to block the bill!
They are trying to gather 400 people to block GA Senate Bill SB 529 -The Georgia Security and Immigration Compliance Act.
WE NEED YOUR IMMEDIATE ASSISTANCE TONIGHT THROUGH WED. afternoon!
The GA Senate plans to vote on this measure.
ALL ALIPAC Supporters in Georgia are encouraged to call in on any talk radio show you can to alert the public. We know that over 80% of the public supports this bill but THEY NEED TO MOVE NOW!
Please help us send the following message to all members of the GA Senate and House
"Vote yes! on SB 529! Crack down on illegal aliens! Please do not weaken the bill. Please listen to American citizens and not illegal aliens! The vast majority of Georgians and Americans support this bill etc..."
The momentum has been with our movement on the state legislation front. We must protect and expand this trend.
Please keep your e-mails, faxes, and calls rolling through the night. We can leave messages on their voice mail systems that will await them in the morning.
DA King and the fine citizens of Georgia need your help tonight through tomorrow.
Please take immediate action. Let's show em what ALIPAC can do when we all pull together.
The New York Times has weighed in against this bill.

Talking Points / What the bill does
WHAT THE LEGISLATION DOES
• Requires local law enforcement agencies to determine the nationality of every person arrested, and if the person is a foreign national to then verify their lawful presence in the United States. If the person arrested is unlawfully in the U.S., local law enforcement must notify federal officials of the arrest. It is then up to federal authorities to determine if the person arrested is subject to deportation.
• Denies taxpayer-funded benefits to illegal immigrants older than 18.
• Requires that if an employer claims a worker's salary as a state income tax write-off, that employer maintain copies of approved forms indicating the worker is in the country legally.
• Establishes tough new penalties for human trafficking.
• Requires public agencies, contractors and subcontractors to use a federal, electronic verification process for anyone getting a state contract.
WHAT IT DOES NOT DO
• The bill does not require local law enforcement officials to arrest people for violating immigration laws. It does not apply to people pulled over for moving violations and issued citations — it only applies to people arrested and booked into jail.
• It does not deny taxpayer-funded benefits to children or to people in need of emergency medical care.
• It does not hold employers responsible if employees provide them with false documents to show they are legally in the country.
• It does not deny public education to the children of illegal immigrants — this is required by the courts.
• Institute any new major deportation effort by the state.
Thank you for your activism and continued support!
