passes landmark immigration reform.Called toughest in nation.

The Georgia Security and Immigration Compliance Act will verify that adults seeking many state-administered benefits are in the country legally. It sanctions employers who knowingly hire illegal immigrants and mandates that companies with state contracts check the immigration status of their employees.

But perhaps the greatest applause came when Catherine Davis, a black Republican running for Congress against U.S. Rep. Cynthia McKinney, was introduced. If Davis is elected, she vowed, "I'd tell all the illegal aliens to go home."

I think Alabama should strongly consider a bill of this kind.
The Senate will probably beat them to it with a national immigration plan. We know how well massive federal programs turn out (see Education). Each state should be able to tailor an immigration bill to suit its needs instead of forcing one mammoth bill onto 50 states.
