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.
