Georgia passes immigration bill similar to Arizona's

Following Arizona's lead, the Georgia Legislature on Thursday passed a strict measure that would empower police to check the immigration status of criminal suspects and force many businesses to do the same with potential employees. The bill passed in the waning hours of the legislative session despite critics' outcries. Immigrant advocates threatened a state boycott if it became law.

Cohen said that despite the immigration laws, she feels she is as American as anyone else is this country because she was brought here by her American parents and raised as an American.

Immigration and Emigration

The number of illegal immigrants peaked at an estimated 11.9 million in 2008. About 11.2 million illegal immigrants were living in the United States in 2010, a number essentially unchanged from the previous year, a 2011 study showed. Arizona passed a law that would allow officers to check a person's immigration status while enforcing other laws and that required immigrants to carry their papers at all times. Legislative leaders in at least half a dozen states have said they will propose bills similar to Arizona's law.

The changes made by the Senate Judiciary Committee eased the requirements on local law enforcement to try to enforce federal immigration laws. Opponents of the bill had likened the mandates to an immigration crackdown in Arizona, which they say opened to door to racial profiling.

Immigration cap will not stem flow of IT workers to UK on ICT visas

The immigration cap, which comes into force on 6 April 2011, will have little effect on the number of economic migrants entering the UK because businesses can continue to use the uncapped Intra Company Transfer scheme to access skills, according to Migration Watch.
