Sonny Perdue on Immigration

Republican GA Governor

No welfare or other services for illegals

We must ensure that individuals receiving taxpayer-funded services are US and Georgia citizens. Illegal immigrants' first stop when they cross the border should not be the welfare line. Georgians cannot carry the burden of individuals who are receiving state services and not contributing to the system.Last December, Sonny instructed the state agency which administers our taxpayer-funded healthcare program to institute a new income and citizenship verification requirement for applicants.
