Bama Governor Signs Immigration Law

 
Alabama Governor Robert Bentley an Alabama immigration law that arguably now replaces Arizona’s as the toughest state immigration enforcement measure out there.  The Alabama bill, among other things, would (1) bar undocumented studemts from public colleges and universities; (2) require law enforcement to check the immigration status of persons about whom they have a “reasonable suspicion” about immigration status; (3) make it a crime to knowingly transport or harbor someone who is in the country unlawfully; (4) impose penalties on businesses that knowingly employ someone without legal status — with the possible suspension or revocation of the employer’s business license; and (5) require employers to use E-Verify.  Expect a plethora of lawsuits to be brought before the law goes into effect.signed into law
