You know what is funny? I just saw on the news that Chateau Elan, a huge resort in the Atlanta area is under investigation for hiring illegal workers. I saw one interview with a woman (white) who was let go after years of service a few years back just before the influx of illegal workers at the resort. It is very possible she lost her job due to cheaper illegal wages. I also saw two teenagers (also white) applying for jobs as servers and groundskeepers. One of which, has wanted to work there for years and hasn't had the opportunity until the entire staff of illegals were fired. You know what else is super sweet about the U.S.? These illegals were not deported, just fired. Go figure.

Later in the same news show, I saw that as of today, the Georgia Board of Regents won't stop illegals from attending state colleges. They simply won't give them an in-state tuition break.
Illegals may not have rights, but is sure seems like there aren't any serious consequences for it either. Why wouldn't you try to sneak in here? Something has to be done. That is why I don't mind what Arizona is doing. I don't think it is the best plan, but maybe it will light a fire under the federal gov't ass to actually do something about the problem.
One last thing, there were some illegal immigrants busted for making counterfeit documents last week in the Atlanta area as well.

Maybe things like this don't happen very often where some of you live, but is sure does here and that is why I am personally tired of it. Having said that, when I go into a part of town that is known for it's high illegal population and hear strictly spanish being spoken or see a group of workers (probably illegal) standing out in front of Home Depot, it is very easy to get annoyed.
