I just saw it and am disgusted.  How dare they try to justify their causes with such antics.  They are illegals and should not even have the right to protest to Americans in their own lawful land.  Congress should be ashamed to have let this happen.  Why should I as a taxpayer be subjected to such disrespect?  I do however feel its a hopeless case at this point.  Something should have been done long ago.  The problem has gotten way out of hand and I do not see a resolution happening anytime soon.  I live in Los Angeles and everything is in spanish, my TIVO even has started recording some daytime soap on the 'Univision' spanish network.

I think it's fan-dam-tastic! Some of it doesn't go into effect until July 2007, but at least he DID something! Here's one report:\n\nATLANTA - Gov. Sonny Perdue on Monday signed a sweeping immigration bill that supporters and critics say will make Georgia's laws among the toughest in the nation.\n\n"I want to make this clear: we are not, Georgia's government is not, and this bill is not anti-immigrant," Perdue said Monday at a signing ceremony.\n\n"We simply believe that everyone who lives in our state needs to abide by our laws."\n\nThe Georgia Security and Immigration Compliance Act will verify that adults seeking many state-administered benefits are in the country legally. It sanctions employers who knowingly hire illegal immigrants and mandates that companies with state contracts check the immigration status of their employees.\n\nThe law will also require police to check the immigration status of people they arrest to see if they face deportation orders.\n\nThe measure is believed to be the first comprehensive immigration package to make it through a statehouse this session, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.\n\nMany of the new law's provisions will not take effect until July 1, 2007.\n\nTisha Tallman, Southeast regional counsel for the Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund, said she was studying potential legal challenges to the bill\n\nTallman said she was "incredibly disappointed" that Perdue signed the bill, rather than waiting for the federal government to act.\n\nThe bill drew protests at Georgia's state Capitol and prompted a daylong work stoppage by thousands of immigrants.\n\nThe new law will not affect emergency medical care and education for children in kindergarten through 12th grade, which federal courts have said must be provided regardless of immigration status. Exemptions were also added for some other services like prenatal care and the treatment communicable diseases.\n\nThe move to tighten up rules in Georgia comes as lawmakers in Washington wrestle with competing proposals to shore up controls at the border, create a guest worker program and create a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants already in the United States.\n\nOutside the Capitol on Monday, a few hundred supporters of the legislation roared their applause when word came that Perdue was planning to sign the proposal.\n\nThe crowd waved American flags and cheered as state Rep. Melvin Everson, one of the Georgia House's two black Republicans, denounced illegal immigration as a cancer and proclaimed: "The last time I checked, America was the land of English - not Spanish."\n\nAnd they hollered as Republican state Sen. Chip Rogers, the bill's author, called it "the strongest single bill in America dealing with illegal immigration - bar none."\n\nBut perhaps the greatest applause came when Catherine Davis, a black Republican running for Congress against U.S. Rep. Cynthia McKinney, was introduced.\n\nIf Davis is elected, she vowed, "I'd tell all the illegal aliens to go home."\n\nAt the bill signing on Monday, Rogers said he has been approached by state lawmakers from South Carolina and Colorado who were interested in crafting similar proposals for their states. And Rogers said he hoped to introduce legislation next year tackling document fraud, which he said undermines efforts to enforce immigration law.\n\nRogers acknowledged the bill Perdue signed on Monday is not a cure all, but said the state was acting where the federal government refused to.

FANTASTIC POST!\n\nI have heard of it and found it online after attending the May I, Illegal Rally.  The illegals were chanting AZTLAN for about five minutes and, after discovering what THAT meant, we continued to research and to our horror, realized that this is a MEXICAN INVASION!\n\nTherefore, no amnesty for anyone.

Atlanta probably has a city website.  Do a search.  Sometimes County or State websites have links to attractions like that.  And/or, try the Atlanta chamber of commerce, if their is one -- it, too, may have links to connect to specifics.\n\n(remember government sites are ".gov" in addresses.)\n\nJust looked this up:  www.atlantaga.gov

If there is a backlash, it probably will be against the demonstrators. Even before students began blocking the Los Angeles streets to protest legislation in Congress to toughen penalties for illegal immigrants and smugglers,\nMark Krikorian of the Center for Immigration Studies told me over the telephone, \n"I hope they keep doing it(PROTESTING). It just makes it less and less likely the Senate's going to pass any amnesty.\n\nhttp://www.realclearpolitics.com/article...\n\nThis Nation Has 300 MILLION Citizens That Shop And Buy Gas And Use The Banks\n\nThe "BOYCOTT" Of About 7-10 Million People Will Have A MINIMAL Impact On Our Economy If It Has ANY WHATSOEVER\n\nThe Latino Community Can BOYCOTT ALL They Like\nIt Will PROVE To The People That The Economy Will NOT Fail Without Their"CONTRIBUTIONS"\n\nPUSH HR4437-NO AMNESTY\n\nDEPORT ALL ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS UPON DISCOVERY

Well, there were two Martin Luther King Jr. marches there in 1987, and I was there for the second one. Forsyth County had some kind of reputation for racism, I didn't really know the history. I think the resident black population living in the county at the time was maybe in the double digits. Not many at all, considering how close it was to Atlanta.\n\nNot sure exactly why someone decided to have a MLK march there in the first place, but that first one in 1987 was greeted with rocks and bottles. When word spread that the organizers were planning a second march, the city of Atlanta arranged for buses to take between 2000 and 10,000 marchers from the rendesvous point in Atlanta out to Cumming, the county seat. But then about 20,000 people showed up.\n\nI was a white college kid, almost 20 years old. I'd caught a ride with an art professor from my college in Tennessee, and I was trying to get on a bus that was already full. Somebody nudged me and pointed to the front of the bus. Coretta Scott King was sitting in the front seat. I'll never forget seeing her there. \n\nWe'd been asked not to drive ourselves to Forsyth County, but it was obvious we'd have to. Our little pack of college students walked back to the art professor's van and climbed in. Not everybody had their own transportation, though. We saw a black man and his young son walking away, looking all dejected. The professor stuck his head out the window and asked, "Do you want a ride to Forsyth County?"\n\n"Sure!" they climbed in, too.\n\nSomewhere between a convoy and a traffic jam, that was the trip to Cumming. People--mostly men--kept getting out of their cars and running down to pee in the bushes at the side of the highway.\n\nThe art professor was chatting up the older of our new passengers. "Isn't this great? It's just like the 60s! Did you march against the War back then?"\n\n"Uhm, no," said the black man. "I was a little busy. I was in Vietnam."\n\nThat was the thing, see. The rich white kids got out of the draft by going to graduate school and earning doctorates in art, while the disadvantaged black kids who never had the same eduational opportunity got put on a plane for Southeast Asia.\n\nThey didn't exactly have segregated parking areas, so our little echo of the Civil Rights Movement had to park in the same parking area as the Ku Klux Klan. That was scary to me. \n\nWhen I saw folks running in to the Burger King, that was silly to me. A lot of the folks who couldn't wait to economically support the same community we were protesting were black. But if I've learned anything since then, I've learned that racism is not a place. \n\nLater on, our new friend said he was glad to be marching on the right side this time. I was glad the law enforcement officers were there to protect the right side, unlike back in the 50s and 60s. About six helicopters were circling overhead. They were probably TV news choppers, but they really made me feel like something important was happening. \n\nThe State Troopers and Georgia Bureau of Investigation folks stood about four feet apart on both sides of the street for the entire parade route. They separated us from the KKK and other racists. I saw one guy wearing a shirt that glorified the man convicted of killing Martin Luther King Jr. It read, "James Earl Ray: National Hero". That made me angry, but we just kept marching peacefully by, six abreast. \n\nNot all of the people who lived in Forsyth County were racists, I'm sure, and not all of the racists in Cumming that day lived in Forsyth County. Some had come in special for the march, just as we had. And they were vastly outnumbered. \n\nOprah Winfrey hosted a show there that week. I remember there was a white man in the audience who said that not all blacks were n_____rs. Only troublemakers, like the ones in that march were n_____rs.\n\n"Huh! Whaddya know!" I sa

I have so much to say, thank you for asking. I've been wnting to talk about this because there was a march here in Atlanta this week. They are marching basically for leniency so that they have more time to become legal. They don't want to be deported. \n\nFirst of all, of course they have no rights, hence the word ILLEGAL. When black people were taken as slaves we didn't have rights. It took a long time, a lot of blood, sweat and tears in order for us to get rights. Just because Pres Lincoln "freed" us we still weren't free.\n\nSecond, they came over knowing they were wrong and they're still wrong and until they do what's right they won't have any rights.\n\nThirdly, I do believe that here in GA, our Gov. Mr. Perdue, is trying to pass something so that the employers of illegal immigrants will be punished somehow for hiring them. All I can say is thumbs up to the Governor for stepping it up in reference to this subject.\n\nFourthly, the illegal immigrants are not necessarily taking jobs from legal American citizens, but they are allowing the employers to exploit the situation by having the cheapest labor possible. Therefore, wages will stay low for those particular fields of work that illegal immigrants flock to.\n\nOh, not to mention they don't even want to speak English. That's another story altogether. Once they try to become citizens aren't they required to learn basic English???? This is not a cut and dried subject, but it really is you know. Just my thoughts. Hope I helped.

There are things happening in Pennsylvania from what I hear.\n\nIt's time for the people in this country to get up off their butts and go out and do something about it if the federal and local governments will not.\n\nI am sick of the damned whiners and do-gooders who take the side of the illegal mexican immigrant criminals.

That State bill was recently passed by Gov. Perdue. Any business who knowingly hires an illegal immigrant will be fined and the illegal immigrant will be deported. When they (illegals) can no longer get jobs in GA they will leave.  When the other states do the same thing they will leave the USA. Pancho better move out of Georgia!!

On March 17, 2006, an estimated 25,000 illegals from Ireland marched boldly in the St. Patrick's Day Parade in NY without fear of any enforcement of our immigration laws. I told my friends at the time: this unchecked in-your-face, "we demand respect" display by illegals will embolden them to demand they be given a free pass and when that doesn't happen, it will reach the point of violence.\n\n      On March 24, 2006, hundreds of high school students in LA walked out of their classrooms to protest the newest piece of completely unnecessary immigration legislation by the incompetent fools in Congress. Within hours 15,000 criminals (illegals) were marching in Phoenix and roughly 10,000 in Georgia. On March 25, 2006, waving their Mexican flags chanting the same worn out "racist" garbage and demanding their "rights" 50,000 of these criminals marched in Denver, thousands in North Carolina and here in \nSacramento. All because the House of Representatives has passed legislation that would make it a felony to be in the U.S. illegally, impose new penalties on employers who hire illegal immigrants and erect fences along one-third of the U.S.-Mexican border. The counterfeit Senate is to begin \ntheir bickering on March 28, 2006.\n\nOur economy will not fail by rounding up illegals and deporting them. \nOn ABC This Week, March 26, 2006, weasel Arlen Specter, hauled out the other big lie, "We have created a need for these workers who will do the work Americans won't." \n\nBull. Once we begin to deport these criminals, Americans \nwill step in and do the jobs - jobs that have been taken away from them because employers have turned a blind eye to the law and are looking for cheap labor. As for Arlen Specter: why is he still sitting on his backside doing nothing while banks in this country are knowingly and aggressively violating federal law by giving home mortgages to criminals (illegals). Congress and the Department of Justice are simply ignoring this outrage, yet Specter blathers on the stupid tube that these 15 million plus criminals should be given a free pass. \n\nTom Tancredo was the other guest on the aforementioned show and he said it right: We don't need any new laws, enforce the immigration laws that are already on the books.\n\n This IS what's coming right to your neighborhood: One of these days in the near future, these millions of illegals are going to become berserkers. It is the intention of Mexicans to "reclaim" the four border states and merge them back with Mexico and they are willing to do it with violence. These 15 million plus illegals will go on a rampage the minute any serious round up and deportation begins, but it must get done for the very surivival \nof our republic, our standard of living and our culture. Reasonable immigration of less than 100,000 per year is more than appropriate and it worked well for a very long time.\n\n      We cannot allow illegals to remain in this country because it sends the very clear message to anyone from any country: Go ahead and enter the U.S. illegally. Nothing will be done to you. The stupid Americans will pay to feed you, clothe you, educate your kids and pay for your medical care while they themselves are forced to go without because they can't afford health insurance because their tax dollars are paying for you! Ha, Ha! Go ahead and enter the U.S. illegally if you're a terrorist, no problem, go \nahead and build your cells, blow up buildings and schools. Nothing will happen because American politicians are too cowardly to repel this invasion and deport the millions of illegals aready here while the illegals rub their \nlawlessness in our faces.\n\nSent: Wednesday, April 05, 2006 7:35 PM \n\nSubject: VIDEO: HISPANICS ADMIT THEY ARE ENGAGED IN "CIVIL WAR" WITHIN THE UNITED STATES\n\nSource: \n\nImmigration Watchdog \n\nhttp://www.immigrationwatchdog.com/...\n\nThey openly state they have &quot

The Southern Poverty Law Center and the ALCU are anti \nAmerican groups not unlike La Raza.All their agendas are the same.The downfall of this nation and our American way of life.I wouldn't believe any of the reports given by any of theses groups.They are liars and distort the truth to their own advantage.Its well know that the "spin" they put on things are never real facts.I am in favor of whatever it takes to stop the illegal aliens from finding comfort and aid here in this nation after entering it illegally.\nThere are laws Federal felony laws against aiding and abetting the illegal aliens.Perhaps those laws should also be enforced to the letter of the law.\nI don't want to see legal Americans of any nationality harassed,but if you are facilitating the criminal acts of the illegal alien then you are guilty also.\n\nThe federal government has reported that Georgia had the fastest-growing illegal immigrant population in the country. The number more than doubled from an estimated 220,000 in 2000 to 470,000 last year. This year, state lawmakers passed some of the nation's toughest measures targeting illegal immigrants
