Georgiafornia
n.— «A growing anti-immigrant movement is sweeping the South, with groups in Arkansas and other states calling for the withdrawal of services from undocumented immigrants. Georgia—which some have taken to calling “Georgiafornia”—is one of many states that deny in-state tuition rates to undocumented immigrants wanting to attend state schools, making it even harder for them to afford higher education.» —“Southern schools deal with pitfalls, promise of Hispanic growth” by Allen G. Breed Macon Telegraph (Ga.) Mar. 19, 2005. (source: Double-Tongued Dictionary)
