Hostile Hispanic Paper Prints Map and Picture of Senators Home Posted on Friday, March 24 @ 07:06:36 PST by admin Senator: Newspaper 'Crossed Line' A controversial measure under the Gold Dome, dealing with illegal workers in Georgia, is causing an huge uproar after a local Hispanic newspaper published a story about the bill’s author on Wednesday. Topics: Georgia, SB 529, State Laws, Illegal Immigration, Illegal Aliens, Legislation, Hispanic News, Senate, House, GA WXIA-TV Atlanta Reported By: Keith Whitney 3/23/2006 Senate Bill 529 has no shortage of angry critics, who feel the measures unfairly targets members of the state’s rapidly growing Hispanic community -- many of whom are now afraid to send their children to school or to seek medical attention. Senator Chip Rogers (R-Woodstock) is the lawmaker behind the bill, which would penalize companies using illegal workers. “They've called me a racist, they call me anti-Christian, they say I hate children, they've used every name in the book to try to intimidate me and stop me from what the people clearly want me to do," Rogers said. Now Rogers and many of his colleagues are furious about an article that appeared on Wednesday in a Hispanic newspaper. The story itself was run-of-the-mill. But it was the picture of his house, and the map showing exactly how to get there that was the problem. “To take a picture of my house, and to put a map on the front of the paper to try and intimidate me to stop this is beyond any responsible journalism," said Rogers. Even Rogers' political opponents in the Senate agree, the article was over the line. “In my case, I’ve certainly been the subject of many, many serious threats. So when Senator Rogers felt some sensitivity about having his home published on a website, I responded. I agreed with him,” said Senator Sam Zamarripa (D-Atlanta) Zamarippa has asked the publisher to pull the article. “I don't know if we have any legal recourse, but I would hope that the citizens of this state would recognize that those who want to profit off the use of illegal aliens for labor would stop at nothing to continue to profit," Rogers said. 11Alive News has honored Senator Rogers’ request not to name the newspaper, citing concerns for his family’s safety and the availability of the map. Despite repeated attempts for comment, the paper's publisher, so far, has not responded.

I was hoping they were aiming higher than a state senator...
The enemy of my enemy is...?
I totally approve of this tactic. Hispanics have balls. Gringos don't. That's why the former will win.

You see, for every three or four rednecks who think that all African-Americans are Willie Horton; there are one or two white liberals who think that all African-Americans are Langston Hughes. Both sides are, of course, wrong. All African-Americans are, in fact, Jimmy "J.J." Walker.
