Believe it or not GA has the second strictest immigration law in the US after AZ. When it passed a couple of years ago we got rid of the worst of the worst and I think most of them went up to NC where the libs in Asheville were handing out freebies.
The Black Mayor of the City of Atlanta Kasim Reid has designated Atlanta as a “welcoming city” so in other words they will take any immigrants the govt wants to send. Likely some of those Syrians and who knows who else. At some point its going to turn into a terrible problem and the solution will be brutal.
Oh I’ve been in the ATL airport about 6 times in the last month, and yeah, I hear ole Kasim and his welcome messages played ad nauseum over the intercom.
And I do believe that Georgia has strict laws...and I know that the Bohemians in Asheville are typical far left bleeding heart liberals for sure. But in the Raleigh, Charlotte, Winston Salem areas, and in Atlanta too, the majority of the Hispanics...legal and illegal, work for those national landscape firms and those national home building trac builders and so on. Just so you don’t get too angry about that, those folks are not low paid and they do have taxes withheld.
Like I said, there’s no difference in the paperwork of the legals and illegals.
Those that do casual day labor, of course, do not. But in my experience, and I have some business interests in ATL, this is a small part of the equation.
