Ga.'s governor does the right thing, twice. Signs anti-illegal and pro-gun bills.
Gov. Perdue signed SB 350 into law. Also, though I don't have a link, he signed a gun law that allows those with permits to carry pistols into restaurants, Marta bus and rail, and other places. Good for him.
The pro-illegals aren't going to like this one bit. Especially considering some of the jails doing screeing for illegals. Where do you think they'll get fingerprinted? *S* Sadly, he didn't sign the bill that had to do with confiscating their cars. But, hey, every little bit helps and this is a big little bit in the right direction. "Hey, illegals. What part of 'Get out' do you not understand?"
Senate Bill 350 authored by Senator John Wiles, R-Marietta, would punish Georgia residents, including illegal aliens, who are driving without ever having obtained a Georgia driver's license. Presently, unlicensed driving usually results in a fine which is regarded as little more than speed-bump for the untrained and unlicensed illegal drivers. SB 350 allows for fingerprinting violators, fines of up to $1000 and jail time for the first offense, with a felony charge if convicted more than three times in five years.SB 350 would be a deterrent to illegal presence here and would save lives on Georgia roads. Maybe it would have saved Cobb County Sheriff's Deputy Loren Lilly, who was killed when he was run off the road by an unlicensed illegal alien driver in December 2006. A nearly identical bill was vetoed by governor Perdue last year.
Thanks to D.A. King for the tip/email. AND "THANKS" for working the political system to help get this passed. Bet GALEO is crying in their pillows. Of course, they'll claim a victory because the other bill didn't pass but even they can see the writing on the wall. And that writing says, "See ya."
