Georgia Passing Strict Immigration Law?

That's right, Georgia is following in Arizona's footsteps. Governor Nathaniel Deal stated he will sign a tough immigration law. Georgia's bill was modified a bit from Arizona's bill. Arizona was the first state to empower the state and local police to ask for legal documentation and arrest people suspected of not being here legally. 30 states have considered passing an anti-immigration law. Many modeled after Arizona's. Honestly, this is ridiculous. There are other ways to stop illegal immigrants from coming to the U.S. Suspecting someone is illegal and detaining them is simply moronic. These laws need serious modification and shouldn't even be passed until there's absolutely no racist intentions within the bill. No one is ever going to be happy with the issue of Immigration, it's a fact.
