Georgia Survey Finds Farmers Are Having Hard Time Replacing Migrant Workers

52. Guess which party and faction were the force behind Georgia's immigration legislation?

The answers: republicans (who control Georgia's legislature and governorship) and teabaggers (who control the republican party in the state).

I hope they are enjoying the fruits of their labor. They wanted people of color (Hispanics, this time) to leave the state and it worked.

Some of the Hispanics who left were undoubtedly here illegally but most were motivated to leave both by the anti-Hispanic sentiment associated with this teabagger legislation and by the desire to keep mixed families (some members who are citizens or legal immigrants, others who are illegal immigrants) together.

Of course, the "family values" party could not have foreseen the possibility that Hispanic families might prefer to stay intact and move from the state rather than to split up so that some of them could continue to enjoy "Georgia hospitality".
