It empowers police to check the immigration status of criminal suspects. It requires employers with ten or more employees to check the immigration status of newly hired workers on a federal database. Critics say the bill is unconstitutional. But Matt Ramsey, one of the bill's sponsors in Georgia's legislature, maintains that there is nothing in this bill that anyone here legally has to worry about. He may or may not be right, but as far as the state's agriculture sector goes, it may not matter. As many as 70% of American agricultural workers may be undocumented. Charles Hall, director of Georgia's Fruit and Vegetable Growers' Association, estimates that the state's $1.1-billion fruit-and-vegetable industry could suffer a $300m loss.
