Sweeping immigration proposal goes to governor
Access North Georgia ^ | 03/28/2006 | The Associated Press

ATLANTA - The Georgia House gave final approval Tuesday to a sweeping bill that would deny some state services to adults living in the U.S. illegally, sending what would be some of the nation's toughest immigration rules to the governor.
The move, which passed by a 119-49 vote, came after the state's labor chief warned that the compromise brokered between House and Senate lawmakers may create a sort of amnesty for some undocumented workers.
The bill would verify that adults seeking many state-administered benefits _ like non-emergency medical care and unemployment checks _ are in the country legally. It would also sanction employers who knowingly hire illegal immigrants, punishing them through the tax code.
In the compromise, lawmakers dropped a section that would have tacked on a 5 percent fee to wire transfers by people who could not prove they were in the country legally. Instead, they added a requirement that 6 percent of wages should be withheld from workers who can't provide a taxpayer identification number.
The proposal, which was approved by the Senate Monday, will now be sent to Gov. Sonny Perdue. If it is signed into law, Georgia will be the among the first U.S. states with legislation tackling such a broad range of immigration issues, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.
Critics warned Tuesday that late changes to the bill could have grave unintended consequences.
When lawmakers stripped the bill of its requirement to verify the immigration status of current workers at companies with taxpayer contracts, they effectively granted state amnesty to undocumented workers who might now be employed, said Michael Thurmond, the state's labor commissioner.
Under the bill that passed Tuesday, only new hires would be checked using the federal verification system _ not current employees.
That portion of the law would not take effect until July 2007, leaving time for many new immigrants to get on the payroll before the tough new checks take effect, Thurmond said.
"We should work to protect employers who play by the rules," he said. "That's my concern _ to create a level playing field."
State Sen. Chip Rogers, R-Woodstock, said that the federal program being used to check immigration status could only be used on new hires.
"If he (Thurmond) believes this is allowing amnesty I would encourage him to begin auditing employers and enforce the law," Rogers said.
It's the latest tiff over the immigration proposal that Republican lawmakers put at the top of their agenda before the start of the session.
During the committee process, lobbyists from the farm and business lobbies fought to push back the bill's start dates. As a result, some provisions don't take effect until July 2007 while others have been delayed as late as 2009.
Some see that as an attempt to give federal lawmakers a chance to pass comprehensive legislation.
When throngs of immigrants rallied against the proposal during a "day of dignity" last week at the Capitol, state Sen. Sam Zamarripa told the crowd that the later start date could give the federal government the chance to take action.
"We want the people to come out of the shadows," said Zamarripa, D-Atlanta. "We want you to have rights."
The U.S. Senate this week is grappling with new federal immigration policies that have prompted thousands of people in cities around the U.S. to protest the bill.
In the state House, some critics urged lawmakers to hold off the vote until federal lawmakers act. State Rep. Mary Margaret Oliver, D-Decatur, said if Congress does act, much of the state's proposal could become moot.
Rogers, though, said it is too soon to say how the federal bill under consideration by the U.S. Senate will affect Georgia's proposed law.
He added that was "illogical" to expect that immigration legislation passed on the federal level would stem the tide of illegal immigrants.
"It is proper for the state of Georgia to take steps to deal with the issue here, regardless of what is happening (in Washington)," he said.

EXCELLENT POINT!!!!
Sorry to disillusion anyone but a Fence is a non-starter. With this Congress and W, this will not happen. Of course, I've been wrong before so ...

Mexican Illegals vs. American Voters
By Tony Blankley
It's lucky America has over two centuries of mostly calm experience with self-government. We are going to need to fall back on that invaluable patrimony if the immigration debate continues as it has started this season. The Senate is attempting to legislate into the teeth of the will of the American public. The Senate Judiciary committeemen -- and probably a majority of the Senate -- are convinced that they know that the American people don't know what is best for them.
National polling data could not be more emphatic -- and has been so for decades. A Gallup poll (March 27, 2006) finds 80 percent of the public wants federal government to get tougher on illegal immigration. A Quinnipiac University Poll (March 3, 2006) finds 62 percent oppose making it easier for illegals to become citizens (72 percent in that poll don't even want illegals to be permitted to have driver's licenses).
Time magazine's recent poll (Jan. 24-26, 2006) found 74 percent favor "major penalties" on employers of illegals, and 70 percent believe illegals increase the likelihood of terrorism. Fifty-seven percent would use military force at the Mexican-American border
>snip
I commend to all those presumptuous senators and congressmen the sardonic and wise words of Edmund Burke in his 1792 Letter to Sir Hercules Langrishe: "No man will assert seriously, that when people are of a turbulent spirit, the best way to keep them in order is to furnish them with something substantial to complain of."
The senators should remember that they are American senators, not Roman proconsuls. Nor is the chairman of the Judiciary Committee some latter-day Praetor Maximus.
But if they would be dictators, it would be nice if they could at least be wise (until such time as the people can electorally forcefully project with a violent pedal thrust their regrettable backsides out of town).
It was gut-wrenching (which in my case is a substantial event) to watch the senators prattle on in their idle ignorance concerning the manifold economic benefits that will accrue to the body politic if we can just cram a few million more uneducated illegals into the country. (I guess ignorance loves company.)
>snip
Under such circumstances, advocates of guest worker/amnesty bills will find it frustratingly hard to defend their arrogant plans by their preferred tactic of slandering those who disagree with them as racist, nativist and xenophobic. When the slandered ones include not only the Washington Post and the New York Times, but about 70 percent of the public, it is not only bad manners, but bad politics.
The public demand to protect our borders will triumph sooner or later. And, the more brazen the opposing politicians, the sooner will come the triumph. So legislate on, you proud and foolish senators, and hasten your political demise.
