ATLANTA — Some civil rights groups and Georgia lawmakers worry a push to make English the official language of Georgia could backfire and push major corporations like Amazon away.
Amazon has said it’s looking for a diverse workforce but that hasn’t stopped some lawmakers from sponsoring bills like “English-only” and special driver’s licenses for immigrants.
They think big corporations are looking more to their bottom line than to measures like these.
“Again, black eye for the state of Georgia,” said Gwinnett County lawmaker Pedro Marin.
