Ok, found it here:

The letter focused on Section 13 of the Beason-Hammon Alabama Taxpayer and Citizen Protection Act, which criminalizes concealing, harboring, and shielding illegal immigrants. It also criminalizes encouraging and inducing illegal immigrants to come to or stay in Alabama, and transporting and renting property to illegal immigrants.

Section 13 of the Beason-Hammon Alabama Taxpayer and Citizen Protection Act -- (you can read it here)

Here is what the Alabama law actually does. Section 13 (a) provides that anyone knowingly concealing, harboring, or shielding an illegal alien could be charged with a crime. This wording tracks existing federal immigration law (8 USC section 1324) and is similar to state immigration laws passed by Arizona, Georgia, Indiana, and Utah.

The existing federal law reads in part that violations include bringing in an alien without inspection; transporting or moving an alien; concealing, harboring, or shielding an alien or attempting to do so; or inducing an alien to enter or reside in the United States. This is the current U.S. immigration law of the land.

In April, a United States District Judge for the Eastern District of Virginia sentenced two persons to prison and fined them $2 million for harboring illegal immigrants and inducing the aliens to reside in this country. For more than two decades, similar convictions have occurred in U.S. District Courts throughout the nation.


Bottom line - looks like Federal Law is nearly identical to Alabama Law

Don't know what the problem is, anyone help?

>>Don’t know what the problem is, anyone help?

The problem is that everyone knows that the federal government will not enforce their laws, but the state of Alabama probably will enforce theirs.

My message to the priests is that Mexico is a Catholic nation. The Mexicans can stay there and get baptized, take communion, give confessions, and everything else on the list. They aren’t coming here to flee religious persecution!

The problem is that the Federal GOvernment will not enforce standing immigration law, despite its claims to the contrary; whereas, Alabama, among other states, WILL ENFORCE immigration law. =.=
