Racism alive and well in Georgia

Nathan Deal wants to end birth right citizenship in the United States. Story here. And why is a Georgia Representative proposing this roll back of the Civil Rights Act of 1866? Because he is a candidate for Governor of course! In Georgia, the majority of menial and domestic workers are Mexican illegals and while it is OK by Georgians for these workers to continue in this capacity, paid at slave wages, living in slave like conditions, it is not alright to consider them human beings with rights. Deal's proposal is little more than a rally flag for his campaign in a state that still treasures its ancient and storied tradition of racism.
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me,I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
Unless your Mexican in Georgia.
