Alabama Now Has Toughest Immigration Laws in the US...Not that Anyone Immigrated there anyway.



(Reuters) - Republican Governor Robert Bentley on Thursday signed into law a crackdown on illegal immigration in Alabama that both supporters and critics consider the toughest in the nation. "We have a real problem with illegal immigration in this country," Bentley said after signing the law. "I campaigned for the toughest immigration laws, and I'm proud of the Legislature for working tirelessly to create the strongest immigration bill in the country."

Umm, yea the country has an immigration problem, but Alabama doesn't...What is this preventing? Cubans from crossing the border from Florida into Alabama? I don't get it, what am I missing?

Look at that map. You have virtually no coast line, no foreign borders, no real economy to speak of, and no attractions that make your state worth traveling to outside of maybe college football, but I don't think illegal immigrants are big into the Iron Bowl.

I guess my point is, you're Alabama.  You should be welcoming diversity any way you can get it, legal or otherwise.  Hell a few illegal immigrant peso's every now and then might actually help your state.
