(10/13/11 10:00am)
Alabama's new bill, HB 56, went into effect recently, and it's already having a negative impact on our communities. Let's ignore, for a moment, the philosophical and ideological underpinnings of immigration--whether it's right or wrong, good or bad--and look solely at the bill itself. Alabama introduced the bill because legislators did not believe the federal government was enforcing immigration law well enough, so we took it into our own hands.
