Immigration Law Exception

     Alabama's Immigration Law  includes a fairly significant exception.....it will... 
"...not apply to casual domestic labor performed within a household..."

     We wouldn't want to disturb "The Help", would we?

Who wrote that exemption in, and why?

But if that "casual domestic labor" comes on a regular schedule, what happens?

That language was in the original bill:

Yes, but why? Why exempt anyone if they are such a problem and are stealing jobs from Americans?

If the " domestic laborer" shows up in a tuxedo to cater a fancy party at a mansion, is that person no longer "casual?"

A good question to ask Scott Beason the next time you interview him.
