ATLANTA, Georgia -- Conservative Republicans turned up the heat Monday in their campaign to end state benefits for illegal immigrants, using a rally which was broadcast live from the Capitol steps to press their cause.
Legislation blocking taxpayer-funded benefits to those who are not citizens is pending in the state Senate and has been designated a top priority of Senate Republican leaders for the 2006 session, which begins in January.
"We're tired of the left trying to frame this ... as something that is anti-immigrant," said Cobb County Republican Chairman Anthony Scott Hobbs. "It's not anti-immigrant, it's anti-illegal immigrant," he said.
