Alabama and Immigration
"A new lawsuit filed by the U.S. Department of Justice against the State of Alabama over its 'Beason-Hammon Alabama Taxpayer and Citizen Protection Act' (HB 56) has been joined by a number of supportive amicus briefs – some from foreign countries, some from activist groups. . ."
"One may wonder to what extent states should be involved in the business of immigration law. Regardless, prompted by a vacuum of clarity and enforcement, the fact is that the state of Alabama has acted."
- Dominique Peridans, ordained minister in the Roman Catholic tradition
