State legislators made right move

Looks like our Georgia legislators got something right with the immigration bill if it's already making illegal immigrants think twice before setting down roots in our state.
But what's just as amazing in your story is the boldness of illegal immigrants in displaying their names and faces. And they advertise the fact they fraudulently bought Social Security cards - a felony. They know the federal government is a giant wimp that will do nothing to deter this ongoing crime.
Real estate agents and mortgage companies who do business with illegal immigrants are actually violating the law. It's a felony to encourage an illegal immigrant to stay in this country, and by selling them a house, isn't that encouragement?
But our old Uncle Sam has become deaf and blind, hasn't he? Poor ole codger. It's a wonder he gets anything right.
