BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — Top Justice Department lawyers say Alabama's new immigration law could actually hamper immigration enforcement rather than being the crackdown that supporters favor.

Two assistant attorneys general are in Birmingham on Monday meeting with business groups and community leaders about the law, which the Obama administration is trying to block.

The Justice Department says immigration enforcement requires cooperation between local and federal officials.

But U.S. Attorney Joyce Vance says there's a risk the law could hurt that effort. She is worried local police may focus on enforcing the state law rather than concentrating illegal immigrants who have committed serious crimes.

It will most likely hinder the non-enforcement effort.

The Justice Department says immigration enforcement requires cooperation between local and federal officials.

But U.S. Attorney Joyce Vance says there's a risk the law could hurt that effort.

This could be indicating that cooperation from the feds will not be forthcoming. If so it's not because 'the law' is hampering enforcement, it's because of the feds.

DOJ is a sick joke under Obama and should be renamed the Department of Injustice.

They are suing every single state that is trying to protect American workers and families from illegal immigration caused by their non enforcement.
