State Sen. Jack Murphy filed his bill Thursday morning.
His proposal would require that all businesses be required to use a federal database called E-Verify to make sure new hires are authorized to work in the United States. It would provide an exemption from this requirement for any person who has filed a work visa application with the Department of Labor.
Murphy said he wants violators to receive warnings for an initial violation within an 18-month period. Subsequent offenses would be punished with fines or the revocation of a business license.
His proposal will be scrutinized by Georgia farmers, who rely on illegal immigrants to harvest labor-intensive crops.
He says it would be immoral to pass a Arizona style immigration law in Georgia.He even said it was unChristian.He even quoted the Bible.
He did not have the Courage to call illegal aliens what they are though.He calls them undocumented.
But he did have plenty of other stuff to say.
He said that the undocumented 1)Contribute to the State Tax base.2)Bolsters the agricultural economy 3)They keep local businesses alive.
He offered no proof for his statements.Just sorta tossed them out there.Guess he figured we would take a Pastor at his word.
Pastor,
If any of those statemnts were true,California would be a paradise,instead of bankrupt.
He also said the law would tear up families and destroy the lives of productive kids already here.
Again another statement without any evidence.But I can imagen that breaking the Law and involving your family could have an affect on them?
He added the law does not advocate for a pathway to fair earned citizenship.
Thats not what the Law is trying to do. It is needed because the Federal Govt. will not enforce the LAW.
Then,the Pastor used the Bible.Love our neighbor,forgiveness and the The Golden Rule,
He quoted Lev 19 vs 34 too.
Pastor,Did you know that the Hebrews were invited to Egypt? By the Pharoah himself?
They werent illegal.
You are right,God does love the illegals. But when he forgives the sinner.He encourages them to sin no more. Not to keep breaking the law.
Our immigration Laws are among the world's best and fair.They are neither immoral or unjust. Thus,they are not in conflict with any Gods commandments.
So,I dont think any of the Pastor's arguements hold much weight?
Tiger if you got it figured out go apply for Chief of police and show'em how's done. ja ja ja.
They may be selling human meat. and drug cartels? what can be done abuot them?, where is the drugs going to, lets send them back too, right. If we can't stop buying, there will be sellers and they wont't be mexicans, just ask a sheriff from Cartersville, a cop from Calhoun or a Federal judge in Atlanta, but maybe you won't know what I'm talking about because you didn't hear those news. I also don't like ignorance but it happens.
You say this bill is "racial profiling." Are you saying that only minorities are looking for jobs? This bill has nothing to do with race; it has everything to do with immigration status.
