Judge refuses to block key parts of Alabama immigration law

12:52 - Judge refuses to block key parts of strict Alabama immigration law, stops enforcement of some

(AP) - A federal judge is set to rule on lawsuits challenging the constitutionality of Alabama's tough new law on illegal immigration.

U.S. District Judge Sharon Blackburn wrote last month that she would issue a ruling on the law no later than Wednesday. Her order delaying enforcement of the law expires Thursday.

Among other things, the new law would ban anyone from helping an illegal immigrant remain in Alabama. It also requires that schools verify the citizenship status of students.

Republican supporters of the law say it's designed to save jobs for legal residents. The Obama administration, immigrant-support groups and others claim the law is overly harsh and violates the Constitution.

Federal courts already have blocked all or parts of less-restrictive laws in Arizona, Utah, Indiana and Georgia.

Hey! could I get some fireworks and flags wavin' here?

I had to be at the DMV (AL)yesterday for a very complicated transaction that took a bit of time.

While I was there two people came to the windows next to me and asked, in English, what they needed to do to transfer their cars to AL from CA.

The first thing that came to my mind was "refugees". I just hope they don't bring their liberal activism and do what they did to Colorado on the 90's.

Thanks for the video, Steve it is great! - read the comments...

I don't think they will NM, they saw what it did to the great state of California!

Victory!

Blackburn upheld a provision of the state law related to police stops and detentions of people suspected of being in the country illegally.

She also upheld sections requiring schools to check the citizenship status of children and sections that would nullify contracts knowingly entered into with unauthorized aliens.

Blackburn also upheld a section making it a felony for "an alien not lawfully present in the United States" to apply for a license plate, driver's license, business license or other business license.

This is great news!!!!



On other provisions, Blackburn ruled the state:

» Can't stop an "unauthorized alien" from seeking work as an employee or independent contractor.

» Can't prosecute those who assist unauthorized aliens. She blocked a large section that would make it against the law to conceal, harbor, transport or encourage an illegal alien to stay in Alabama. This includes portions of the law referring to landlords.

» Can't stop businesses from deducting the wages they pay to unauthorized aliens from their state taxes.

» Can't create a new protected class of workers. The new law would have allowed workers who were fired or not hired in favor of unauthorized aliens to sue employers for discrimination.


I do not like the ruling that you can't prosecute those who assist illegal aliens. She blocked a large section that would make it against the law to conceal, harbor, transport or encourage an illegal alien to stay in Alabama.

I thought is was already against the law to harbor a criminal and illegal invaders are criminals.

Overall, this is terrific news!! I see a mass exodus and those states that don't have strict laws against the invaders will see a big change in their states soon. Third world status comes to mind.
