The law does not forbid the hiring of non-citizens. It only forbids the hiring of people in the country illegally. There's a difference.

But the dems don't want to enforce the immigration laws. Wasserman-Schultz thinks that the GOP is crazy wanting to treat breaking the law like a crime.

Yep. That's it in a nutshell.

Remember when people were filing lawsuits demanding to see Obama's birth certificate? The courts often ruled that they had no standing and dismissed the case.

The foreign countries in this lawsuit absolutely have no standing, and these cases should be tossed out with extreme prejudice.

Mexico? LMAOROTF! Maybe the State of Georgia will respond by posting the 'immigration laws' of Mexico.

And here I thought just Democrats were hypocrites!

Not surprising.

To a leftist the 10th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was written with invisible ink. Unless of course a particular state is enacting a law they like.

To a leftist federal law also preempts all competing state laws; when they deem it appropriate. If a state were to enact a law they like, however, then the feds should butt out.

In other words, Georgia enacts a law penalizing companies that hire illegal labor. Leftists will sue to block it. Wisconsin enacts a law stripping public sector union members of collective bargaining rights. Leftists will sue to block it. Oregon on the other hand enacts a law allowing physician-assisted suicide. Leftists will fight to enforce it. Nevada enacts a law legalizing medical marijuana. Leftists will fight to enforce it.

Nuanced.

Yes, Mexico should be laughed out of court. Since when do any of those states have standing to support illegal immigrants. They aren't harmed if their illegal citizens are returned to their nurturing bosoms.

The price of peaches will go up.

There will be more then peaches going up, Chico.

The American Civil Liberties Union, the Southern Poverty Law Center ... Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and Peru.

Uh, so basically, South America ...

... and other un-American outfits.

Actually, you used to get more peaches from Cali...

But, speaking from Georgia - about time! But the Atlanta Urinal-Constipation is agin it - sort of a McKinney friendly paper, IYKWIMAITYD...

The reason the Latin American countries don't like this law is for one reason only. Money!!! Without the remittance that the illegals send home, there would be no economy in that part of the world. Look at Hugo Chavez did to Venezuela. All of those countries in that list depend on those dollars to offset the worthless money that is used in those countries.

The number of idiotic responses by Chico just went up by one.

I would predict the suit will be dismissed. None of the plaintiffs have any standing to sue, and there is no one who can argue they have been harmed by a law which hasn't yet been implemented.

The bigger problem, the one thing which screams out when all these states are passing laws to curtail illegal immigration, is that the federal government has failed miserably in its basic duties.

We do need a comprehensive reform of immigration policy and enforcement, one which recognizes reality as to immigration and deals with those who live here illegally in a reasonable fashion. But the failure of past attempts has led us to the point where enforcement simply MUST be fixed first, before a comprehensive plan can be debated and agreed upon.

The local liberal tv outlets here in Atlanta are already filling the airwaves with the open borders rhetoric, pity seeking supporters, and anti-law rally events. The "news" is about a tool-rental company whose illegal immigrant business is off by half (tears for the poor man! - not), the cries that employers can't replace their illegal unskilled labor (I know several college kids and adults who are unable to find work of any kind), and, oh, the injustice of it all. The roads will be safer when the illegals driving drunk are gone, and fewer Georgia families will live the horror of having loved ones killed by them. The unskilled American youths and adults in need of work will be able to find more jobs, since employers may actually have to deal with a work force they can't bully, threaten, and cheat. Fewer 3rd world communicable diseases will be brought to your neighborhood, infecting your friends and family and driving up the cost of medical care. The cost to taxpayers of schooling the children of illegals will be eliminated, and the dumbing down of the education to accommodate them will improve the learning of the children of Georgia citizens. The General Assembly and Governor Deal did the Georgia citizens a big solid with this law. I'll pick my own peaches, thank you very much.

A recent Supreme Court ruling on an Arizona law made it clear that a state law that is consistent with federal law will not be considered in conflict with the federal law and thus will not be overturned. They said when determining if a state law conflicts with federal law, the bar will be high.
