Did you read the whole article at the link or only the excerpt here. I think the author explains his headline well enough. Republicans are traditionally the party of business and business people do not like chaos yet the Repubican Georgia legislature passed an anti-immigration measure timed perfectly to disrupt one of Georgia's major economic sectors.
