...Georgia
Another day another controversy. Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and Peru are suing Georgia to block their new HB 87 law. In short this law would allow law enforcement to check the immigration status of a suspect who cannot provide identification and empowers them to turn over anyone found to be in the country illegally to federal authorities. It also adds new penalties for those convicted of harboring illegal immigrants and presenting false documents when applying for a job. There are an estimated 425,000 illegal immigrants in Georgia alone. Mexican officials were dismayed when Georgia passed the law, which it said could impact millions of Mexican workers, tourists and students in the U.S., and millions more whose jobs depend on international trade, adding,"Mexico respectfully submits that, if HB 87 is allowed to take effect, it will have a significant and long-lasting adverse impact on U.S.-Mexico bilateral relations, and on Mexican citizens and other people of Latin American descent present in Georgia." Mexico's lawsuit against Georgia is similar to the one it filed last year against Arizona over it's similar law it tried to pass. The ACLU is one of the groups that's directly linked to the Mexican government. Another group linked to the Mexican government is a plaintiff in the case, the Georgia Latino Alliance for Human Rights. GLAHR is headed by Teodoro Maus, former Mexican consul general in Atlanta. Another group, the Instituto de Mexico, is also directly linked to the Mexican government. Others involved in the suit include many names familiar from past ACLU/NILC suits; they're listed at. I must say that in America's time of economical turmoil this is outrageous. When is it wrong to enforce the law? Illegal is illegal as a sin is a sin. No matter how big or small it is what it is. We have the right as a country to deport anyone who does not belong here. Middle Eastern countries arrest Americans all of the time for small things, wearing the wrong close, talking to loud, being Western, etc. Why does Mexico care so much? Do they want our money? Of course, they and the other 10 countries want our money but not our presence. Mexico should spend its money on stopping their massive 
drug wars on their side of the border. I am giving Georgia a Digit Up for not backing down, so far. This is a good law, a just law, and it is nothing more than a detailed version of a national law.
