The sponsors of six state bills that would bar illegal immigrants from receiving certain social services and holding certain jobs say they're sending a message to Georgia business owners.

"It is not OK for you to break the law because you want to offer a lower wage," said state Sen. Chip Rogers of Woodstock, who authored four of the bills.

Rogers and Reps. John Lunsford of McDonough and Roger Williams, all Republicans, presented their views Feb. 19 at the annual meeting of the Christian Coalition of Georgia.

"For any employer out there who is mad at me for introducing this bill, I want to say ... 'I won't back down,' Rogers said.

"Immigration is threatening the rule of law," Lunsford said. "When it has to do with illegal aliens usurping the taxpayers' money -- when we cannot properly fund the services for your lives -- we have to take action."

Send them home. Cut off the welfare for our home grown underachievers and there will be plenty of people ready to do the farm work.

Unfortunately you would have to send Carl and GW along with them.</sarcasm>
