In a 24 hour period, 270 businesses, large and small, from all across Georgia asked to be included in this letter to you, our elected leadership. Other business interests may weigh in on this issue as well as the week progresses. Our economy is at stake. The letter is attached for your review.<\/p>\n<p> We ask that you work with employers, law enforcement, elected officials and government entities to study the immigration reform efforts in other states and communicate the need for a federal remedy to a federal challenge. Thank you for your consideration.<\/p>\n<p> Respectfully,<\/p>\n<p> Bryan Tolar, President<\/p>\n<p>Georgia Agribusiness Council<\/p>\n<p>****************************<\/p>\n<p>April 4, 2011<\/p>\n<p>Dear Representatives:<\/p>\n<p> Thank you for the time and effort you have devoted to the difficult topic of illegal immigration in Georgia. We especially appreciate the opportunity to share our concerns with legislators throughout this process.<\/p>\n<p> While the business community agrees that this issue must be addressed, we encourage you to consider both the cost and the overall impact on Georgia\u2019s economy of the provisions included in the bills that come before you in these final days.<\/p>\n<p> The General Assembly wisely requires fiscal notes for bills with financial impact, yet none have been produced for the bills addressing this issue \u2013 one with significant impact on business and agriculture as well as state and local government. In addition, a recent report estimated that employers nationally spent $95 million in 2010 to comply with the E-Verify system, concluding that it costs small businesses an average of $127 per new hire to comply with the E-verify process. While we encourage all businesses to abide by Federal law and only hire legally documented workers, our state\u2019s unemployment rate still leads the nation, and we should look for alternatives to adding new costly mandates that could discourage legal job creation. Mandating the E-Verify program will harm Georgia\u2019s economy, not enhance it.<\/p>\n<p> We must also weigh the unintended potential cost of losing major conventions, tourism, and international business opportunities. We have worked for decades to build Georgia into an international business and tourism destination and today our products are welcomed around the world. The needed expansion of the Savannah Port is a testament to the success of selling our goods worldwide. We urge you to consider the message we send to the foreign investors and workers that are vital to our success on the global stage.<\/p>\n<p> Finally, we would also encourage a more thorough discussion of programs implemented in other states \u2013 some are creating their own verification programs and others have chosen to accept a valid driver\u2019s license. Whatever verification program you decide is best for Georgia, we hope you will consider using an incentive for compliance as opposed to an unfunded mandate.<\/p>\n<p> It is unfortunate that this matter has fallen to the state as a result of inaction on the part of the Federal government and we have appreciated having the opportunity to be a part of the discussion. Please know that the Georgia business community will continue to advocate in Washington D.C. for a unified and balanced approach to immigration reform, including manageable guest-worker visa programs. We hope that you will consider the points made above, and are confident that your final decisions will keep in mind what is best for our economically-strapped businesses and industries, large and small, that are so vital to our economy.<\/p>\n<p> Sincerely,<\/p>\n<p>Marty McLendon, Owner 1-800 RR Emergency, LLC<\/p>\n<p>Jim McLeod 4 P Farms<\/p>\n<p>Bob Delbridge 404-CUT-TREE<\/p>\n<p>Linda Lighthill, Owner A Passion for Pruning<\/p>\n<p>Roger Flota, Owner Abbey View Farms<\/p>\n<p>Jimmy Adams, Owner Adams-Briscoe Seed Company<\/p>\n<p>Jon M.
