Georgia Governor Deal signs bill that expands Illegal Alien Crackdown

 

 

 

VICTORY: Georgia Gov. Signs Expansion of Illegal Alien Crackdown (SB160)

 

 

 

 

Way to go, Peach State!


Gov. Nathan Deal yesterday signed S.B. 160 – a tough expansion of Georgia’s H.B. 87, the Arizona-style law cracking down on illegal aliens, which passed in 2011.
The La Raza lobby was left stunned and upset, believing Deal would bend to the prevailing GOP pressure for immigration appeasement in Washington, and veto it. They were sadly mistaken.
Passed in the final hours of the General Assembly’s 40-day session – and despite fierce lobbying against it by ethnic intimidation groups, big business interests, and the ACLU – Senate Bill 160 was created to “fix” problems in licensing delays related to the old bill, but was later amended to add the following strong anti-illegal provisions, all now law:

• Bans illegal aliens from getting state driver’s licenses.
• Blocks illegal aliens from getting state, grants, public housing and retirement benefits.
• Prevents people from using foreign passports to obtain public benefits, unless those passports include records indicating they are in the country legally.
• Mandatory participation in E-Verify for contractors doing business with city, county and state government agencies.

SB 160 will take effect July 1.
