    Just curious.
    Excellant point. One has to wonder why our laws aren't just as strict.

    I don't think I've ever read or heard anyone who advocates for wide open borders. However, there are millions of Latinos already here in this country and they do not wish to be treated like a disease.

    In both Arizona and here in Georgia, the passage of draconian immigration laws have dramatically hurt business. The governor of Georgia tried to force prison inmates to do the work that immigrants once did before passage of such laws .. but the inmates refused .. the work was too difficult.

    Laws like that passed in Arizone has galvanized Latino voting power and strength. The point of this thread was about that power and strength.

    How do you reconcile the "wet foot" law that covers Cubans .. which makes them citizens the moment they step on these shores .. with the "wetback" law that covers Latinos .. which makes them a problem as soon as they step on American soil.

    I think what is being sought is sanity and balance.

    The inmates refused...PRICELESS...

    (meme alert) "Illegal" is not a race. (end meme alert) Despite what groups like "La Raza" say.

    If SB-1070 has "galvanized Latino voting power and strength" so be it. If they are legally allowed to vote, they should.

    The point of this thread was hardly about power and strength - if it was, it was poorly titled.

    YES, the inmates refused.

    Alabama Official Suggests Using Prisoners As Farm Workers After Immigration Law Scares Away Laborers

    After Georgia passed its harsh immigration law in the spring, the state lost about 11,000 agricultural workers, and farmers were left with their crops rotting in the field because they did not have enough laborers to pick everything. One solution the state tried was to have people on probation and out of work fill in as an opportunity for them to learn some job skills. But the program only had mixed results, with many inmates walking off the job early.

    ---

    Last summer in Georgia, which also passed an anti-immigra­tion law, Republican Gov. Nathan Deal started a pro­gram to offer fieldwork to probationers at minimum wage. During the first two days of the program, the pro­bationers picking cucumbers couldn’t keep up with their Latino counterparts and had all quit by mid-afternoon.

    ##

    I can only account for my interpretation .. but the title of this thread sure as hell sounds like power and strength to me brother.

    When I was young they had chain-gangs. Most didn't want to end up back in prison. These days just the opposite.
