Evidently, a recent Federal court ruling upholding Alabama's recent law requiring identification is causing fear among the undocumented persons who are living there.
Given the state's record on race relations, I can understand. But I can also understand that the state's residents TODAY are trying to push back against the wave of immigration TODAY, and it has nothing to do with the past.
An article on the ruling is here, posted by an immigration attorney. There must be big bucks in this immigration stuff, huh?
