10 groups file suit against new GA Immigration law

10 groups file suit against new GA #immigration law; called unconstitutional "in its entirety" http://bit.ly/mnfxYl #p2

ATLANTA (CN) - Ten unions and civil rights groups want Georgia's draconian immigration law enjoined before it takes effect July 1. The federal class action claims Georgia's "punitive and comprehensive immigration system" has the same constitutional defects as Arizona's law, parts of which already have been declared unconstitutional by an Arizona Federal Court and the 9th Circuit.

Many claim this is why its Unconstitutional,

 They say "HB 87 is unconstitutional in myriad ways. It violates the Supremacy Clause and core civil rights and liberties secured by the U.S. Constitution, including the Fourth Amendment's right to freedom from unreasonable searches and seizures, the Right to Travel, and the Fourteenth Amendment's guarantees to equal protection and due process under the law. It also violates separation-of powers safeguards in the Georgia Constitution."

Then we have this to worry about, these Kids should be giving the chance to become US Citizens.

Plaintiff DREAM Activist.org is a "multicultural, migrant youth-led movement [which seeks] to pass the DREAM Act, also known as the Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors Act." It says: "If HB 87 takes effect, DREAM members are at risk of being subject to prolonged immigration status checks even if they are authorized by the federal government to remain in the United States."
