Alabama Jails Immigrants!

October 04, 2011 07:54pm

Alabama's new immigration law, harshest yet in the state, requires for anyone who cannot prove that they are legal in the country to be arrested. The new policy goes as far as to have schools check the status of its students, although they are still allowed to attend school, many are outraged by the practices.

Chief Deputy Randy Christian is wondering where to place the detainees as the jails are already suffering from overcrowding.

The new law threatens financial struggle to the the farming industry as most of the labor is done by illegal immigrants.

Obama administration acted to appeal the strict Alabama immigration law but we have yet to see how it will affect the situation. As of right now it is better to carry your ID with you or think about moving out of state if you do not have one.
