This is a happy day in Georgia! Governor Sonny Purdue is going to finally sign the bill into law that will stop illegal aliens from leeching state benefits, that should only go to legal citizens.

Of course we know that having illegals around is a great expense, when they are given state taxpayer funded services.

It is great that this is happening on the same day that some people were able to protest giving into the demands of illegals. Also today’s Guard the Boarders Blogburst is a version of my previous post regarding how illegal immigration offers their employers a better deal than slavery. Maybe now Georgia state taxpayers will be partly free of the slave mater’s dilemma. We did not ask the illegals to break our laws, their employers did. So let them carry the burden until we can make things uncomfortable to the point that illegals realize that they need to simply leave and try entering the country legally like other law abiding immigrants.

If you are a blogger that wants to join the GTB Blogburst, you can contact the folks at Euphoric Reality. Their blog always stays on top of issues of illegal immigration and keeps track of military related matters as well. Another great blog to keep an eye on, that is part of the GTB Blogburst of bloggers is Freedom Folks.

Back to the bill the governor is going to sign today. When I contacted him asking that he sign the bill I received a very generic response, that did not offer any insight into what he would do. I am glad that he made the right decision. It’s time to draw the line and let legal citizens have the benefits setup for them and let illegals know it’s time for them to leave! Of course I’m not a big fan of many social services that give something for nothing, but that’s another matter for another post. At the very least the people getting government handouts on the taxpayer’s dime should be legal citizens.

Maybe the next time I have to go to the hospital with a loved one, they will be able to get the care they need without having to wait behind people who are in violation our laws and feel they deserve care on the taxpayers dime. Let them go back over the border and get their care there until they learn how to enter the country legally. Any charity for them can be sent to them there on the other side of the border, in the nation they have legal claim to.

I’m sure with this and the cries of “racism” regarding attempts to pass a bill that requires people to show photo ID when working, that race baiters are going to claim that these are signs Purdue’s tenure is anti-minority. Being a Black man, I have to say that Sonny Purdue is doing better than I expected him to do and his tenure is one of the best I’ve seen in my time living in this state. Good job Sonny!
