The anti-immigration fervor in the United States notches up another victory. For more than ten years, the Georgia Project in Dalton, GA assisted school districts experiencing major influxes of Spanish-speaking students by sponsoring bilingual and bicultural teachers from Mexico to work in Georgia schools. The program also provided professional development to U.S. teachers to communicate more effectively with Spanish-speaking students. Federal and local funding began to dry up as opposition to undocumented immigrants intensified in 2006 and 2007.  Last December, founder Erwin Mitchell announced that the project was closing its doors. It's worth noting that the program was not an immigration organization and took no sides in the immigration debate--the assistance it provided schools merely reflected the reality of changing demographics. Still, Mitchell is hopeful that the Georgia Project can be recusitated when and if the federal government settles the question of what to do with the 12 million undocumented immigrants currently living in the United States.
