Well Atlanta's had a huge population boom since the Olympics, white and otherwise, that was a big showcase event they used to sell Atlanta as NY in the South. And it worked. The fact that you call them "invaders" is really all we need know. They're just people trying to get out of a crappy country and earn a living, not unlike our immigrant forebears. We really learn a lot more about the people afraid of immigration on these threads than we learn about immigration itself.

You are totally clueless about Atlanta, and though other immigrants are moving here, the overwhelming majority are Mexican illegals. Hence, they really aren't immigrants.

Yes, I do think that the Olympics have played a role, in that they shined the spotlight on us for us to receive a larger share of the invaders. However, that's what they are. In Smyrna, there are sections with shopping centers completely in Spanish, Bus Stops in Spanish, billboards in Spanish. In Marietta, the illegals pile up on the sides of roads, creating a traffic hazzard. In Chamblee, these "immigrants" even have road signs in their language, as well as having the majority of signs in their language. Most, if you try to talk with them, can't understand a word you're saying. They're too busy plastering the Spanish language everywhere they go, as well as painting their shops red, white, and green.

Furthermore, as for Atlanta being the NY of the South, I find that to be an insult, as much of NY is a dump. However, if you're referring to our large skyline and large business contingent, then you are correct. All this talk of "NEW SOUTH" is a bunch of nonsense. What is considered the "NEW SOUTH". Welcoming illegal aliens with open arms?
