"Make no mistake, this lawsuit will not undo Alabama's immigration law.

Hispanics Flee Alabama’s Immigration Law
Jun 28, 2011

When Tuscaloosa, Alabama, begins rebuilding more than 7,200 homes and businesses leveled by an April 27 tornado, it may find itself missing a workforce capable of putting the city together again.
Hispanics Flee Alabama


What they are saying is that Americans will not do the job but Americans are not capable of doing the job. WTF?

America's workers face a battle for their jobs. They are the finest workers in the world. American workers grow, harvest, and mine some of the world's highest quality and most plentiful raw materials.
Kit Bond

American workers are first rate.

The Monitor's View
'Jobs that Americans won't do'

With millions of native-born people desperate for income, those jobs presumed to be too menial are now acceptable – a point to remember in the immigration debate.

With people desperate for income, downward mobility may be on the way up. News reports show long lines of applicants for a janitor's job or for work at a factory after a federal raid clears out the illegal workers.

Maybe it's a myth that Americans won't take certain jobs. In fact, a study by the Center for Immigration Studies used 2005-07 data to look at 465 occupations. Only four had a majority of immigrants in them: plasterers and stucco masons, agricultural graders and sorters, personal appliance workers, and tailors and dressmakers.
In every other occupation, such as janitors, maids, and groundskeepers, a large majority were filled by native-born Americans. The report's conclusion: "The often-made argument that immigrants only take jobs Americans don't want is simply wrong."

Federal Judge Blocks Alabama Immigration Law
August 30, 2011 - A U.S. federal judge has temporarily blocked a controversial immigration law that was set to go into effect Thursday in the southern U.S. state of Alabama.

U.S. District Judge Sharon Lovelace said Monday she decided to block the law until September 29 so she could further consider lawsuits filed against it. Last month, a coalition of civil rights groups filed a class action lawsuit against the measure, saying it invites racial profiling and will target for harassment anyone who looks "foreign."

The law would allow Alabama police to detain anyone suspected of being in the country illegally when that person is stopped for any other reason. It would also make it a crime to knowingly transport or harbor an illegal immigrant, and compel public schools to verify the immigration status of students.

Earlier this month, the U.S. Department of Justice challenged the act, saying it would conflict with federal immigration policies. In her statement Monday, Judge Lovelace said she was not addressing the merits of the law or the suits against it. She says she plans to address the legality of the measure by the end of September. There are an estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants living in the U.S.

The uneducated whites and blacks and the legals. So who is this country letting down??? The uneducatd whites and blacks and the legals. And of course the rest of the poor who were not given perks or special preference to attend college 'for not having the advantage of being in this country illegally'. Go figure!!

Alabama has borders with another country?

Alabama has borders with another country?

Since the Federal Government REFUSES to protect our borders every State has illegals and needs their own laws to make up for the failure of the Fed.

Federal Judge Blocks Alabama Immigration Law

This is not surprising and completely appropriate.

The ‘reporting requirement’ with regard to undocumented children attending school, while it doesn’t prohibit enrollment, will clearly intimidate parents and keep children from enrolling in violation of Plyler v Doe.

Illegal immigration is wrong on all levels.

In the 80's the schools in CA had to keep files on who was here illegally but then the bleeding hearts made sure that was stopped. And now look at where we are! Foolish people those bleeding heart liberals.

They shouldn't have a problem with the laws if they are here legally.

Too bad. If they have an issue with following laws that's their problem.

I don't even believe illegal children should be permitted access to public schools, they should pay for a private school or stay in their home country.

I have no problem whatsoever with legal immigration. I think it's great to have such a variety in our culture. But illegals? I have no pity for them in the least. They need to go home where they belong and refrain from sucking off the teats of the US taxpayers.

Because they are racists.

Who is racist? The Hispanics or Alabama? Certainly not Alabama, they just want laws enforced and for people to enter the country legally. Nothing in the world wrong with that.

One can be pro-immigration (me) and anti-ILLEGAL immigration (also me).

I agree with you 100%, however alot of Hispanics tend to look at the illegals the same way a Free Black looked at Runaway slaves a few hundred years ago. Alot of them have a parent or grand parent who was illegal so they feel sympathy for them.

The two to not compare, not even close and I'd love to go up against someone who claims otherwise.
