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?

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

  2. That language was in the original bill:

  3. 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.
