The war against Alabama's immigration law has intensified in recent weeks, with a Justice Department lawsuit, visits by DOJ officials, and a showdown over illegal alien children who have been pulled from Alabama schools. Eric Holder sued Alabama, trying to block every aspect of its enforcement provision.
Why has the Administration and their ACLU and La Raza allies frantically tried to stop Alabama's law from being enforced?
Because it's WORKING - and putting legal Alabamans back to work. As illegals have fled the state by the tens of thousands, the jobs they took - particularly in poultry processing, building trades and transportation - are being filled once again by Alabama citizens. And the unemployment rate in the state has dropped as a result.
Alabama's unemployment rate fell a half percentage point last month - five times more than the national average of 0.1%. And the drop is not seasonal because it is also a far larger drop than in surrounding states.
To further support this trend, in one heavily Hispanic county with one of the highest percentages of illegal alien labor, the drop has been far more dramatic. Alabama House Majority Leader Rep. Micky Hammon, (R-Decatur), said the huge drop in Marshall County showed the power of Alabama's H.B. 56:
Hammond pointed to Marshall County, which he called "a known hotbed for illegal immigrant labor." He said the rate there was 8.1 percent for October, down from 8.8 percent in September and 10 percent in June, when the immigration law was signed. "When Marshall County's unemployment rate drops almost a full 2 percent since the law was signed, it's difficult to deny the law is having a positive effect on employment," Hammond said in his statement.Marshall County Rep. Kerry Rich (R) told WAFF-TV how poultry plants in his county have rapidly replaced illegal workers with legal ones to do the jobs that we are endlessly told "Americans just won't do":
EXCERPT...READ THE REST HERE
Too bad La Raza Rick Perry (and other governors) refuse to man up and take this kind of action.
No kidding. There are some idiots still supporting Perry......lol.
All these illegal freaks have come to Maryland, THE Freak state. Enough illegal aliens, already.
La Raza Rick Perry would never do this as he has made a career of pandering to the ILLEGAL population in his state.
Governor Moonbeam and the California leftist-lature don't care about balancing the budget. If they did they wouldn't have just approved a Rick Perry style instate tuition for ILLEGAL aliens bill that will cost the taxpayers tens of millions if not more.
We're told these people cannot all be deported. Stop making it so they benefit being here and they will leave.
Why are his supporters ignoring the fact that Obama and Ricardo are EXACTLY the same. Why would both of them go to a La Raza Rally or seminar or whatever it was. I wonder if they were there the same day. Not only that, but I wonder if Obama and Ricardo are working together since they have the same principles and beliefs.
You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.
I guess they aren’t jobs “Americans won’t do”.
Every time I hear that phrase, I automatically mark the person that said it as an idiot.
This Yankee tips his hat to you folks in “The Yellow Hammer’’ state. Wish to hell my state of NJ would get this serious.
Amazing how that works.....
I know Dennis and no way would he have wished you dead. And whose military were you in?
Most of the jobs taken by illegal aliens have come from the black community.
My boss’s father-in-law has a big truck stop near Montgomery and back in Sept, about 2/3rds of his workforce fled. They were Mexicans (although he insists they told him they where here legally). The jobs are pretty menial, washing trucks and big rigs, cleaning up stuff, etc.
Anyway he’s back to employing locals like he used to. Mostly black guys. Guess the democrats gave up on the brothers here. The Republicans are getting them there jobs back!
I know Dennis and no way would he have wished you dead. And whose military were you in?
Who are you? Why are you on his account? He certainly did wish me dead. Why don’t you ask him. Whose military? The Iraqi Military....who do you think?
Yes, and I can almost guarantee you that they're all BIG contributors to House Speaker Joe Strauss and the Governor.
You know what they say in the Iraqi military.... No I’m never gonna do it without my fez on
