2,000 cab drivers fight Ga. immigration law | Atlanta Business Chronicle:

"As a federal lawsuit challenging Georgia’s tough new immigration law makes its way through the courts, a new legal challenge has emerged courtesy of more than 2,000 taxi cab drivers. Drivers and cab companies from throughout metro Atlanta and other Georgia cities have hired a law firm to represent them due to their concerns over a provision of the law that stipulates drivers could be arrested for transporting passengers without documentation, Atlanta Business Chronicle broadcast partner WXIA-TV reports."
