The Alabama Legislature opened its session on March 1 on a note of humility and compassion. In the Senate, a Christian pastor asked God to grant members “wisdom and discernment” to do what is right. “Not what’s right in their own eyes,” he said, “but what’s right according to your word.” Soon after, both houses passed, and the governor signed, the country’s cruelest, most unforgiving immigration law. The law, which takes effect Sept. 1, is so inhumane that four Alabama church leaders — an Episcopal bishop, a Methodist bishop and a Roman Catholic archbishop and bishop — have sued to block it, saying it criminalizes acts of Christian compassion. It is a sweeping attempt to terrorize undocumented immigrants in every aspect of their lives, and to make potential criminals of anyone who may work or live with them or show them kindness.
It effectively makes it a crime to be an undocumented immigrant in Alabama, by criminalizing working, renting a home and failing to comply with federal registration laws that are largely obsolete. It nullifies any contracts when one party is an undocumented immigrant. It requires the police to check the papers of people they suspect to be here illegally.

Are you talking about La Raza (?) and other mexican organizations? IF these mexican organizations are so worried about the plight of the mexicans, just why don’t they go back to their mother country and change the mexican government into a government by and for the people? Why? Because they don’t have the courage to face the mexican government and work to change the mexican corruption, that’s why. Mexicans in Mexico can demonstrate ONLY in front of the AMERICAN CONSULATE...NOT ON THE AVERAGE STREET IN MEXICO. How about that???? Another thing to think about, while discussing Mexico and Mexican illegal immigrants, here. I have not seen ONE Mexican of European extraction, here illegally. WHY? The Mexicans we are seeing are all of Mexican Indians blood or mixed European and Indian blood.
Evidently the Mexican government is trying to get rid of the Mexican Indians and for the most part the Indians are completely undeducated. Some have gone to school to the 6th grade, as high as the mexican government will pay for their education....if the families are aware of education.
What’s cruel to Americans is coddling criminal aliens who go on to rape, murder, rob and drunk-drive.
The truly oppressed group is undocumented property owners. They are constantly demonised by the right wing media with the label “thieves”, just because their title to the BMW they hotwired isn’t recognised by America’s reactionary legal system.
Unemployment in Mexico is about half the USA's unemployment rate.
If you are of European heritage.
Goebbels could learn from these fascists at the NYT. I mean this is pure propaganda. When does CW II start? Not soon enough, we are truly a nation divided.
GO DAWGS and WAR EAGLE. Should be an interesting game. I went to MSU and the man I am going with played for Auburn. Just hope it is cooler than it has been. : )
It makes it a crime to be a criminal! Oh, the humanity...
If you're talking about your typical Mexican's bad attitude toward anyone who's not a Mexican, that's a different topic.
We have a bunch of Mexicans. They need to go back to Mexico. That's not at all inhumane, and certainly far from terrible.

You've been listening to the vile, despicable Debbie Wasserman-Shultz too much.

The truly oppressed group is undocumented metal recyclers. They are constantly demonised by the right wing media with the label “thieves”, just because they recycle the air conditioners, electricity lines, street lamp poles that Americans refuse to do.
This is just one of the reasons I hate living in NY, because the top liberal rag in the nation is based here.
Does the NY Times have a toilet paper edition? No one here in Alabama (except those of us in the outlaw blogosphere) read that rag.
This is why Alabama seceded from the Union ... having to put up with assholes and liars like this and federal tyranny.
I’m tired of the progressive churches blurring the line.
Why the hell do they exist, proclaiming That God has standards to enter Heaven, yet ignore America’s standards to enter the US.
