Ahhhhh another myth that has not been proven by you or anyone else - Gun reform. We almost all feel something needs to be done. I've spelled out my ideas. Have you spelled yours? Use spellcheck. It may help - Elder Care. Yup. Let the old ***** rot and die - Healthcare. Yup. Let us all rot and die. No one should have healthcare. It should be done away with dammit!! - Child Care. See above regarding elder care. This is soooo true. Think about it. If we let the kids rot and die we'll never have to worry about taking care of all those wrinkies. Brilliant dontcha think? - Equality. Now here's one you may have a point. Conservatives believe in equality of opportunity but NOT the equality of outcome. That's up the the individual Tip for ya.

So Bills are only signed to stop things that have happened in the past and never done to prevent unfairness from happening in the future? You back the party that uses the terms fair/equal/equity/equitable all the time. What is equal about allowing biological boys competing against biological girls? Why are you for that? Why is that fair competition? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gee, it looks like Georgia has a vested interest in our immigration policies. I suggest you think before you link things from Twitter. Are you this uninformed about everything? One in ten Georgia residents is an immigrant, while 7 percent of residents are native-born U.S. citizens with at least one immigrant parent. In 2018, 1.1 million immigrants (foreign-born individuals) comprised 10 percent of the population. Georgia was home to 502,347 women, 493,737 men, and 67,989 children who were immigrants.

More than three-fourths (78 percent) of immigrants reported speaking English “well” or “very well" More than 236,000 U.S. citizens in Georgia live with at least one family member who is undocumented. 400,000 undocumented immigrants comprised 36 percent of the immigrant population and 4 percent of the total state population in 2016. 503,155 people in Georgia, including 236,662 U.S. citizens, lived with at least one undocumented family member between 2010 and 2014 . During the same period, about 1 in 13 children in the state was a U.S. citizen living with at least one undocumented One in eight workers in Georgia is an immigrant, together making up a vital part of the state’s labor force in a range of industries. 701,962 immigrant workers comprised 13 percent of the labor force in 2018. Immigrant workers were most numerous in the following industries: Immigrants in Georgia have contributed billions of dollars in taxes.

Georgia DACA recipients and DACA-eligible individuals paid an estimated $61.4 million in state and local taxes in 2018. As consumers, immigrants add tens of billions of dollars to Georgia’s economy. Georgia residents in immigrant-led households had $26.3 billion in spending power (after-tax income) in 2018.

Governor Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 Republicans are in really bad shape. They can’t get anything to stick. immigration isn’t an issue they can scare people with this time but they figured they’d give it a shot and see. There really isn’t an issue out there that could work heading into these midterms. All they can do is obstruct and wait it out. It’s not like party insiders didn’t know that Trump was going to destroy the party for a generation. They did it anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone knows the immigration policy since Reagan has been to look the other way to undocumented immigrants working. Look at the benefit to the economy of Georgia! Clearly the majority of immigrants come here to work and support there family honestly. If Federal and state governments had truly wanted to put an end to undocumented immigration they would have gone after the employers. But they didn't, because cheap labor is pro-Capitalist... The lucrative nature of the illicit drug trade has always been the major problem at the heart of violent crime. I'm glad marijuana is being legalized and taxed, and the best thing that could happen to the problem of violent crime is a massive reduction in demand of harder drugs. And more solid employment opportunities for young people from areas effected by gangs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fear what gangs and the cartels will do for money if we were to legalize all drugs. They ain't selling Mary Kay. This is a stupid reason to legalize drugs.

While I agree with much of what you're saying, it is simply not the job of employers to be the policemen for the Government's lack of immigration enforcement.
