King said the Georgia Department of Transportation violated state law that requires government contractors verify employees&#8217; legal working status.<\/p>\n<p>King said the affidavit GDOT uses to comply with the law doesn&#8217;t require all the information mandated by House Bill 2 passed in 2009. The legislation clarifies wording in Georgia&#8217;s Security and Immigration Compliance Act signed in 2006.<\/p>\n<p>The allegations come on the heels of a CBS Atlanta investigation that questioned whether a GDOT contractor hired an illegal worker.<\/p>\n<p>An affidavit obtained from GDOT shows the agency didn&#8217;t require a contractor to provide a registration number and date for the federal government&#8217;s employment verification database known as E-Verify.<\/p>\n<p>GDOT spokesman David Spear said in an email that apparently GDOT used the wrong affidavit. He said he isn&#8217;t sure if it was an isolated incident. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cbsatlanta.com\/news\/24675220\/detail.html\">VIDEO HERE<\/a><br \/>\nKing said he believes the violation could make it easier for GDOT contractors to get away with hiring illegal immigrants.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Activist: GDOT Is Breaking State&#8217;s Immigration Law Violation May Make It Easier For Contractors To Hire Illegal ImmigrantsBy Jeff Chirico, CBS Atlanta Investigative Reporter August 18, 2010 ATLANTA &#8212; Illegal immigration activist D.A.
