You will not be surprised to hear that The Washington Post is editorializing against the Alabama Immigration Bill that goes into effect on Thursday. But read their editorial anyway, as it will be digested by a huge population that will form their opinion about the state from it, right or wrong.
The Post calls it a "poisonous law".
A Federal Judge in Birmingham is considering the request of the U.S. Justice Department and civil rights groups to block the law, and that may happen before Thursday.
Check out the YouTube video of bill sponsor Mickey Hammon describing the "Alabama flavor" they gave the bill, patterned after the Arizona legislation.
I agre with the editorial. Absolutely.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion it's more like an apartheid South African law than an American law.
