Call on Honda, Hyndai, Daimler to Oppose Alabama HB 56

By immigrationprof

From the Campaign for Community Change:

Alabama
The Campaign for Community Change is joining with labor, civil rights and human rights organizations today to call on foreign-owned automakers doing business in Alabama to speak out against the state’s vehemently anti-immigrant law.
 
To date, none of the foreign automakers have voiced an opinion on the law, H.B. 56.
 
“Their silence is akin to an endorsement of the law, and if they feel otherwise, the automakers must stand up and speak out against the law, and call for its repeal,” said Deepak Bhargava, executive director of the Campaign for Community Change. “Foreign investors should realize that the law targets anyone who is not a U.S. citizen.”
 
The Campaign for Community Change is part of a national effort to get the top three foreign automakers in Alabama, Daimler AG, Honda and Hyundai, to join the effort to repeal H.B. 56. Information on the campaign can be found at www.repealhb56.org.
