President Obama speaks out on Alabama's tough immigration for the first time since it went into effect last month. He called it a bad law. The interview was printed in La Opinion, the nation's largest Spanish-language daily newspaper. The president went on to say the law is already having an impact on school districts.


"The idea that we have children afraid to go to school because they feel afraid that their immigration status will lead to being detained...It's wrong."

The president slammed the law further pointing out the ability of law enforcement to stop people in the streets and check their citizenship status.

"All this makes the law not just anti-immigrant, but I believe it doesn't match our essential values as a country."
