NPR Stories on Immigration

NPR always has great immigration coveregae.  It reports that, in Alabama, there’s a new battle brewing in the immigration debate. Some counties have decided to enforce a decade-old law that requires a Social Security card to get a marriage license.  (Please do not ask me why.). The Catholic Church says this has led to a surge of couples living in sin.

NPR also reminds us that, two years ago, the Department of Homeland Security promised that it would start bringing criminal charges against companies that employ illegal workers. Since then, there’s been a dramatic increase in raids on businesses, but few prosecutions against employers.  Guess we know what DHS thinks of promises.
