Even now you can visit a state government page that paints the state as pro-immigration because "The State of Alabama welcomes diversity".
That was in the midst of a legislative action:
"Act No. 2011-535, the Beason-Hammon Alabama Taxpayer and Citizen Protection Act, into law on June 9, 2011. Legal challenges to the law soon followed, and the Attorney General has actively defended the law, as is his duty..."
Here we are a half-dozen years later and PEW is out with a state by state rundown of where the most immigrants come from. The report compared Alabama status in 2002
2002 -- 20 from Vietnam
...and the status in 2016:
2017 -- 10 from The Democratic Republic of The Congo.
The PEW report included an interactive map that shows how many immigrants came to each state each year. in 2002, that was one person to West Virginia and zero to Arkansas.
HERE's a link to the map.
