"Alabama's strict new immigration law was touted as a job creation bill, a way to force illegal workers out of jobs and open them up for legal residents. Early indications are the plan is backfiring.
"The law is driving away many construction workers, roofers and field hands who do backbreaking jobs Americans generally won't. So far, few legal residents have stepped in to fill any of the vacancies, creating an absence that will surely deal a blow to the state's economy and could slow the rebuilding of Tuscaloosa and other tornado-damaged cities."

"Georgia's new immigration law is scaring migrant workers away and costing south Georgia farmers big bucks.
"Experts say the labor shortage could shrink Georgia's economy by nearly $400-million.
"Many farmers say that Georgia's new immigration enforcement law is putting their crops at risk. they are asking the federal government to make it easier for foreign workers to get guest worker visas."
