I’d like to add that Chambliss is up for reelection and maybe targeted by the DNC. He lives in a state that has been very wonderfully active in curtailing illegal immigration. He can’t afford to piss off his base. Again, GA contact your senator.

Just don't forget that Chambliss and his republicans in Georgia are the ones that stopped work place enforcement in 1998, which is why he's pushing AGjobs now with democrat Diane.

Why & When workplace enforcement of illegal aliens stopped

[snip] Workplace raids by INS were frequent until the late 1990's. A spring 1998 sweep that targeted the Vidalia onion harvest in Georgia, and Operation Vanguard, a 1999 INS operation on meatpacking plants in Nebraska, Iowa and South Dakota, provide case studies of how the immigration laws fared when confronted by a coalition that included low-wage immigrant workers and the industries that hire them. The Georgia raids netted 4,034 illegal immigrants, prompting other unauthorized workers to stay home.

Instead of being applauded for enforcing the law, the INS came under attack from Georgia's congressional delegation. Georgia's two senators and three of its House members, led by then-Sen. Paul Coverdell (R) and Rep. Jack Kingston (R), complained in a letter to Washington that the INS did not understand the needs of America's farmers. The raids stopped.
