Immigration Politics - Georgia: Group that fought illegal immigration bill won't support boycotts of Georgia

Group that fought illegal immigration bill won't support boycotts of Georgia | Political Insider: "The head of the group that led the fight against Georgia illegal immigration bill said his and two other Latino groups will not support boycotts of the state or its products.

From the statement by Jerry Gonzalez, executive director of the Georgia Association of Latino Elected Officials:

"... Georgia is our home and we do want our state to progress and develop. HB87 will make our efforts much more difficult, but as good-hearted Georgians, we will stand together to make Georgia a better place for all of us, including Latinos and immigrants. Georgia is home to almost 900,000 Latinos and thousands of immigrants; it is where we live, work, and play. A boycott would devastate Georgias tourism and convention industry. Many Latinos and immigrants depend on this, and other industries, for their livelihood."
