"...The Republican-backed bill, which passed 106-60 and now moves to the Senate, would require anyone wishing to wire money outside of the United States to prove they are either an American citizen or are in this country legally. Otherwise, they would have to pay a fee of 5 percent of the amount of the wire..."My home state of Georgia under the leadership of Gov Sonny is doing it right!

A very small but positive step. Good for Georgia.

Why is it our states (Georgia and Arizona, and no I don't care to hear about Napolitano, I know why she did it) can do things like this and our Federal government cannot even protect our borders?

I live in a small agricultural based county in Georgia. Our local post office during peak season (March -July) will do in upwards of ten thousand dollars a WEEK in money orders sending money back to Mexico. I like what I see.

At the Federal level, Jorge Bushtega is the problem.

It needs to be at least 10%.

I agree. Outright refusal to protect our borders and spending like a drunken Kennedy are two issues that will keep a good President from being a truly great one.

No offense, but how does Western Union (or whoever) know they are illegal?
"Mr. Gomez, before we wire this money to Mexico, are you an illegal alien?"
"No."
"Good 'nuff for me."

What are the chances that it will make it into law?
To: devane617
Doing it right? Sounds like they are giving aid and comfort to illegal immigrants.
To: steel_resolve
The Gov will sign the bill. I am almost certain the State Senate will pass it.

"You can't insist on having the Ten Commandments hung if you don't live the Ten Commandments," he said.
Idiot. This isn't an issue of morality. It's one of practicality.

I believe Ga requires proof of citizenship to get an ID, DL, or otherwise. Seems like proof of citizenship legislation passed last year.

Absolutely. But it's a start...

"The problem is real, the services that are used are real, and this remedy offers them an opportunity to pay back to the system for these services," said Rep. Tom Rice, R-Norcross, the bill's chief sponsor. I work in Norcross. It's like Little Mexico around here. It's no wonder the Rep. from Norcross is sponsoring this bill
"What we're about to do is tax people who are doing the best they can to provide for their families," said Rep. Austin Scott, R-Tifton, the only Republican to vote against the bill. "I have a moral problem with that."
Says the man from a rural town with no concept of the flood of illegals in the Atlanta metro.
Rep. Al Williams, D-Midway, lectured his Republican colleagues for pushing legislation to allow counties to display the Ten Commandments at the same time they're targeting illegal immigrants. "You can't insist on having the Ten Commandments hung if you don't live the Ten Commandments," he said.
I wonder if Mr. Williams could enlighten me on which commandment covers this legislation? Perhaps we should display the commandments more so that boneheads like this will have an opportunity to actually read them.

Sounds like they need a birth certificate or visa.
