Reports: Alien laws had effect on Carroll<\/strong>
\nBy Laura Camper
\nThe Times-Georgian
\nPosted: Sunday, October 7, 2007 <\/p>\n

After the new Georgia immigration regulations went into effect this summer, some familiar faces disappeared, according to the president of the Hispanic Business Council in Carroll County.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have seen a decline when I go to different restaurants and things, the service folks, some of them we used to know, …they\u2019re not there anymore,\u201d Jorge Gaytan said. \u201cI think that the number of Hispanic folks who have worked in the service industry has declined here in Georgia in general and in Carrollton in particular. Even though it\u2019s just been three months, I do see a change<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gaytan thinks the changes are because of some Hispanics leaving for other states and some being let go by their employers.
\n\u201cWe know of several families who have taken their things and have gone somewhere else because they feel that Georgia has the toughest laws,\u201d he said. \u201cSome of them just don\u2019t want to leave because they have a lot of roots here already but their being let go by the employers.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gaytan also mentioned an increase in the number of raids by immigration officials – a reaction to talk of possible amnesty for some illegal immigrants, he thinks.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe think they want to clean house in preparation of, if the federal government passes laws that would allow them to stay,\u201d he said. \u201cA lot of times, they are looking for folks who have a warrant for their arrest because they did something wrong. And I happen to agree with that. I think that folks that have done something wrong, that are criminals should be sent back.\u201d
\nHowever, other people are being caught in the crossfire, he said.<\/p>\n

Gylia Gonzalez of Latinos United of Carroll County also mentioned an increase of raids, including one at Azalea Place Apartments on Thursday.<\/p>\n

However, the Carrollton police and the Carroll County Sheriff\u2019s Office have no record of such a raid and could not confirm that a raid took place. Citizenship and Immigration Services did not respond to questions about increased raids by press time.
\nSheriff\u2019s Capt. Shane Taylor said he could not remember the last time his agency dealt with an illegal alien.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
