Alabama’s new immigration law
July 18, 2011
Alabama’s governor, Robert Bentley, signed on June 2011 a tough new illegal immigration law modeled on the controversial SB1070 law from Arizona, which requires public schools to determine students’ immigration status and makes it a crime to knowingly give an illegal immigrant a ride.
The bill also allows police to arrest anyone suspected of being an illegal immigrant if they’re stopped for any other reason. Alabama employers also are now required to use a federal system called E-Verify to determine if new workers are in the country legally.
The bill, due to take effect on September 1, makes Alabama the latest in a series of states, including Georgia and Arizona, to enact controversial new laws aimed at tackling illegal immigration.
Civil rights groups and the Mexican government have been quick to condemn the move.
