In Alabama and across the country, mean-spirited and racist anti-immigrant laws are threatening the livelihood of many working families and small businesses. At a moment when Americans of all walks are uniting around the sentiment of the 99 percent movement, politicians continue a never-ending charade to distract and divide us, ignoring the economic and social consequences in the process.

From the day the Alabama law was passed, farmers, construction managers and other small business owners expressed their concern that pushing thousands of hard working immigrants out of the state would have serious ramifications on their ability to pick tomatoes, build homes and stay open for business. Their concerns have proven true. Adding insult to injury, two foreign automakers managers -- immigrants doing business in Alabama -- have been detained under the drastic law. Instead Instead of importing jobs, the Alabama law threatens to deport workers and employers alike.

This law is an affront to our values as a country and damages our economy and workers. Fear is not a jobs policy. This law should not be happening, not in our America.

  • @kakodemos24 try respecting the LAW ... my family did! For that matter - my wife did too! She came here legally!

  • @FactShouter WE ARE NOT BETTER THAN YOUR FAMILY , JUST NEED RESPECT

  • NOT IN MY AMERICA

  • With this new law Alabama will go from one of the poorest states in our country to one of the wealthiest. We are not raciest, in fact we love the Mexican people, we just are unwilling to continue to compete with your countries corruption. We are not the ones who make you see $4 an hour so attractive. Instead of fighting the good people of Alabama, you might want to take the fight to your corrupt leaders in your own country for keeping your peoples so........willing to leave!!

  • ... what about IT IS ILLEGAL??

    Supporting Illegals in this country mean you disrespect me and mine.

    HOW ABOUT THE FACT: most people in this country came here within the parameters of the LAW?

    Ship Em OUT NOW!

    on my fathers side the ITALIAN was told NO ENTRY into the USA in the 50's

    so my family had to become Brazilians so they could LEGALLY come into this country

    THEY ARE NO BETTER THAN MY FAMILY!
