Is Georgia about to take the lead in state level resistance to illegal immigration?
The Georgia legislature, we hope, is close to passing into law a bill [SB 529 Chip Rogers R – Woodstock] that will begin to mirror existing, but ignored, federal law.
The threat of actual enforcement of immigration law has enraged the illegal aliens and their enablers here and they have organized a boycott for today. In retaliation, earlier this week a local Spanish language newspaper published a map to Senator Rogers’ neighborhood.
Imagine, the same rule of law that Americans must follow being applied to illegal aliens and their employers! AND BANKERS!

Leaders call for economic show of force

A coalition of state Hispanic leaders is calling on immigrants in Georgia not to buy anything today and stay home from work if possible as a show of economic might.
It’s unclear how the one-day effort could affect poultry plants, restaurants and other businesses that rely heavily on immigrant labor. And organizers stopped short of calling it a boycott, saying they only want workers to participate if it doesn’t jeopardize their jobs.The effort is designed to protest a sweeping anti-illegal immigration measure making its way through the Georgia Legislature, said Julian Herrera, a Norcross pastor and spokesman for the Alianza 17 de Marzo de Georgia (March 17th Alliance of Georgia)… “We’re sending a strong message that if you pass a law that punishes these people, then they will leave,” he said. “Who is going to build the homes? Who is going to do landscaping?”
We should to take time to wonder here if MALDEF national board member – and banker to the illegals – state senator $am Zamarripa closed BANCO UNIDO today in solidarity with the illegal aliens?
Maybe I’ll ask him when I pass him in the halls of the Capitol Monday.
He didn’t look very happy yesterday when I saw him. He didn’t even say hello.
I wonder what effect a one-day boycott to protest the illegal colonization of Georgia by Americans would have?
