Georgia Approves Anti-Immigrant Law 
------------------------------------



Georgia has become the first state to pass an anti-immigrant law modeled
on the measure approved in Arizona last year. The legislation would
mandate law enforcement officers to check the immigration status of
suspects if officers believe they have "probable cause." Republican Gov.
Nathan Deal has vowed to sign it into law.
