Alabama's illegal immigration law will go into effect this Thursday, but protesters in Montgomery are pushing forward to have their voices heard in opposition to what's considered the toughest crackdown on illegal immigration in the country.
Hundreds gathered at the capitol steps to oppose Alabama's new illegal immigration law, which will go into effect in just four days. The majority of the people in attendance were families and some said they are worried that this new law will break up their family.
"I don't like this law, because I think it is going to tear my family apart," Edward E. said.
Edward's children were born in the United States, but said he and his wife do not have papers. So his family is hoping that in these final days, something will be done to change this law on illegal immigration. People gathered to hear words of inspiration from state senators and religious leaders.
Alabama senator Hank Sanders said he is ashamed of the law.
"I spoke out against it when it was up against the legislature," Sanders said. "I did my best to try to stop it along with some others. We weren't able to do it. It's the wrong spirit. It's a mean spirited law."
Some people held signs asking Governor Robert Bentley how they will be able to keep their families together under this law.
"If some of the kids are legal and the parents are illegal, they're thinking about deporting the parents, but the kids, where are they going to stay?" Mario Quintero said.
Although the future is unknown and their legal status may be called into question, those in attendance said they want to stand up for what is right and to have a better life.

If you are an “illegal” you are not an “immigrant”. You must have an immigration visa to be an immigrant. Else, you’re just a visitor of some kind.
“I don’t like this law, because I think it is going to tear my family apart,” Edward E. said.”
Ed. YOU did it.
Nobody joins up on the capital steps to protest all the illegal immigrants.
Reality or no, the Obama “Justice” Dept. along with some “caring judge,” will put a halt to it’s implementation, asap.
Such an insincere argument. Noone’s telling that the children have to stay here.
Want something to protest?? Round ‘em all up, throw ‘em into one huge holding cell, throw away the key.
Arrest them and they go on a chain gang!,get some work out of their ingrate azzes,then deport.
Reality or no, the Obama “Justice” Dept. along with some “caring judge,” will put a halt to it’s implementation, asap.

And, if they do, I will NEVER hire a biz using illegals (like I’ve ALWAYS done). My husband came here LEGALLY.....having to jump through loops of $hit!!! They can earn it like us, dammit!!!!!! Either we a country of LAWS or we’re NOT.
Yes, absolutely, take your kids and go to where you are a legal citizen!

Don’t worry: the Justice Department will put a stop to this law. :)
Illegals are doing the work Americans won’t - voting Liberal Democrat. :)
Wel Ed E. take your butt and your family back to where you came from and come back thru proper channels.
Simple, everybody in the family returns to Meh-Hee-Co. Problem solved.
We checked our (cap) gun belts at the door to (private) kindergarten.
Apparently things have changed.
For adults to put children as a shield against illegal actions is disgusting. These adults knew what their situation was and tried to have real citizens pay for/accept their wrongdoing.
Perhaps I am hardhearted, but I really don't care. How 'bout taking your family back where you came from? Do a reverse sneak across the border.
IMHO, parents should have considered this possibility when they illegally broke into our country.
You should just tap 0bama's sta$h.
"Weigh anchor."
mau “If you are an “illegal” you are not an “immigrant”. You must have an immigration visa to be an immigrant.”
MmmMu Yep, Your point is on point. Rab can but wounder if the time to “invade” and nation build just south of here should commence immediately, or just very shortly.
