POLITICO.COM : Most Probationers walked off their jobs or did not return for a second day, according to top officials in the Georgia farm lobby. And the Anti-Latino State was Law blocked in a Federal Court of Atlanta

.

The threat of the new law has already led to thousands of migrant workers fleeing Georgia. And the Probationers that the Governor of Georgia sent did not like the job.

This is a new conflict of "State Rights" with the Federal Government and with President Obama and the Department of Justice, led by Eric Holder. Sooner or Later the U. S. Supreme Court has to make clear that the Federal Legislation ( by the U. S. Congress ) preempts these State Patchwork Legislations.

Parts of Georgia immigration law blocked


Some excerpts :

A federal judge in Atlanta blocked portions of Georgia’s new law that would have punished people who aid illegal immigrants and allowed local police to check the legal status of anyone not carrying identification, The Associated Press reported Monday.

U.S. District Judge Thomas Thrash wrote that Georgia was seeking to enforce an immigration law that is the jurisdiction of the federal government.

Bryan Tolar, president of the Georgia Agribusiness Council, said he hopes but is not optimistic that the ruling will stop the flood of migrant workers leaving the state.

“We hope that it might slow down that fear factor,” he told POLITICO. “While we’ve already seen a significant amount of loss in those critical workforces. There was a feeling … that there were going to be more departing this week. Maybe now they won’t be so quick to depart.”

A spokeswoman for Deal said he would issue a statement on the ruling shortly.

Tolar was in Washington last week to lobby the Georgia congressional delegation to back a guest worker program. The court ruling, he said, is “better than nothing, but it’s not the solution we need.”
