New Georgia immigration law sure to face legal challenges like those in other states :: The Republic: "ATLANTA — The tough measure cracking down on illegal immigration that has been signed into law is sure to be challenged in court before it can even be enforced.
Georgia's law, signed into law Friday by Gov. Nathan Deal, has some provisions that echo those in a law enacted last year in Arizona and is also very similar to another enacted this year in Utah. Both have gotten tied up in the courts by lawsuits claiming they are unconstitutional, and opponents of Georgia's law have said they plan to challenge it."

I monitor and analyze international press on Mexico, with a focus on security, immigration, human rights and social movements for peace and justice, from a feminist perspective. And sometimes I simply muse.
