...Alabama
Alabama has passed a new immigration law. In this new law schools would be required to check the legal status of their students. Many are upset and say that this is much like the controversial SB 1070 law that courts called unconstitutional last year. Many people say that this is not the school's business, this will create a subclass of illiterates, this will discourage many illegal parents from enrolling their kids, and so on. I have no problem with this. Georgia recently passed a law that would require employees to check the status of their workers and so on. What is wrong with any of this? Nothing to me. Supporters say the law will help the state determine how much public money goes to educating undocumented children. I agree. Illegal immigration is ILLEGAL!!!! Meaning it is a crime. Go sneak into Mexico and try to live there without proper documentation, you will get 2 years of jail time, and that is for 1st time offenders. There is at least one loophole though. The law doesn't say schools should turn away students who can't provide documentation--that would be in blatant violation of the 1982 Supreme Court ruling Plyler v. Doe, which struck down a Texas law that forbade public money going to the education of illegal immigrants. In the Plyler case, the court ruled that fashioning laws to punish children violated the 14th Amendment, which guarantees equal protection under the law. Still, I think these issues are real. I hate to sound like a Southerner, but those from the North have no right 
thumbing their nose at those to the South when it comes to these issues. Yes New York once let hundreds of thousands of immigrants in, but this is now and this is a different time. There are many gangs throughout the South that were formed by illegals and there is a lot of money being spent by the government on them in many forms whether it be law enforcement, education, medical assistance,etc. I am giving Alabama, this is odd, a Digit Up. it's not racist, it's actually right.
