A proposed bill under consideration in the Georgia legislature to prevent all undocumented immigrants from attending state institutions of higher learning also contains provisions which could prevent them from even obtaining marriage licenses and water and sewage service.
The legislation, sponsored by Georgia Sen. Barry Loudermilk (R), would remove foreign passports from the list of valid identification documents for state agencies -- unless they were accompanied by federal immigration documentation. An attorney for the American Civil Liberties Union attacked the bill, noting that the U.S. Transportation and Security Administration consider passports "a very secure form of ID." |
