The fact is, the only "Humanitiarian Crisis" that is going on in Alabama are for those who are legal citizens of the state.
You are just heartless, not supporting people stealing off of you and your kids. Perry will be after you.
“”immigration law upheld by a federal judge last week is creating a “humanitarian crisis” “”
Gosh! Nothing like creating a panic. Have they ever seen a TRUE humanitarian crisis? Check out Africa, folks.
Interesting to know what hetman sharp ton vain thinks about h Alabama I,migration law.
OK, I have a question for the forum. This is not intended to be snarky. You all can see I have a loooong conservative posting history so I’m not trolling. I am asking this legitimately because liberal friends and family members are saying this to me and I don’t know the answer and don’t want to lose a debate on this point.
I know that it’s true that in Arizona first, and now in Alabama, enforcement of the immigration laws does mean that crops really are rotting in the fields. Friends who live down there are telling me about this. Farmers who are used to hiring illegals to do the stoop work can’t find anybody; the illegals have all cleared out and the legal Hispanics don’t have to settle for field-work.
Obviously we have millions of unemployed people in this country—me among them. But you can’t pick up some welfare mother in (say) Chicago and ship her and her four kids fifteen hundred miles to work in the Alabama fields picking crops; the logistics make that impractical and very costly. You can’t take someone like me, a woman in her late middle years with health problems, and make her move to Arizona to do physical labor; I’d be in the hospital in half a day. So how do we work this out?
I don’t want the illegals here any more than anybody else does—they’re a dangerous and costly plague here in the DC area, and even the nice ones really are taking jobs from citizens and soaking up expensive social services. I am not making excuses or covertly hinting that they should be allowed to stay.
What I’m thinking is that we should have tightly-controlled borders, but then let people in on a very rigid, as-needed legal basis for a finite period of time, WITHOUT CHILDREN OR OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS, just to do a specific low-paying farm job for a specific employer. This is what was done many years ago when I was young. Does that sound right? If not, what other ideas do we have to get this food harvested, hay baled, and other low-paying physical labor done in rural areas? Let’s throw some ideas out there.
God forbid that the state of Alabama actually enforces the laws on the books. Hopefully the will do it and tell the feds that they don’t get any money until the feds hold up their end of the deal.
Hey Sammy! You can KMA on Main Street and I'll give you 15 minutes to draw a crowd. When the party running the federal government refuses to enforce our laws in order to increase their freeloader voter base, they should all be thrown in jail.
I’ve never read this rag or site but is it a left wing , down the middle or right wing.
The name of it suggests right and Christian but having seen some of their topics put on here then I am wondering?
The so called “humanitarian crisis” began when these idiots decided to run away whether than stand up to their own governments and demand all the things they are now demanding here in this country. To hell with them. If they won’t fight for their own home countries we sure as hell don’t need them here.
Eric “the bigot” Holder appealed the lower court ruling to the appeals court. His objections were so lame that I’m sure that even the appeals court judges were underwhelmed by his arguments. All of his objections were based upon “I feel”, “might lead to”, “could possibly be”, etc. Nothing solid based upon the law itself, just a bunch of liberal whining.
“This law revisits Alabama’s painful racial past,” Sam Brooke, a staff attorney for the Southern Poverty Law Center in Montgomery, Ala., said in a conference call with reporters Wednesday. “When a law that demonizes people to the point of pushing children out of schools is cheered, it’s a dark day for the state and the country.”
No sh**head, citizens are just tired of paying for illegals out of their hard earned wages while worrying about if they are going to lose their job or house. There’s no “demonization” involved despite your bleeding heart narrative.
Alabama has some of the worst black unemployment in the country. This law is a Godsend to them.
I have not witnessed any mass humanitarian crisis or really any change yet but I will be on the lookout.

Illegal aliens never heard of home schooling?
