[GA Gov.] Deal suggested that people who are on criminal probation could fill the job openings: “There are 100,000 probationers statewide, 8,000 of which are in the Southwest region of the state and 25 percent of which are unemployed."This Georgian idea dovetails in an odd way with events in Maryland, where the Democrat legislature tried to pass a law prohibiting employers from doing criminal background checks.
Of course, if you ran a farm in Georgia, you'd eventually have to do a background check to ensure you were hiring criminals.
Perhaps, eventually, non-criminals would sue. Unemployed college graduates; illegal aliens; teenagers tired of wilding; consider their needs before passing a criminal opportunities act.
