MONTGOMERY, Ala. - Civil rights groups sued Friday in federal court to block Alabama's new law cracking down on illegal immigration, which supporters and opponents have called the strictest measure of its kind in the nation.

It sends a message that people who look foreign are not welcome in our state," It sends a message all illegals will not be allowed to roam free in Ala using fake or stolen documents to obtain work and illegals will not be allowed to be above the laws.

I’m not a commie liberal and I don’t do drugs so I don’t get it. When did they make it a “civil right” for someone to break into my house, eat my food and steal my money? Does Mexico have these same “civil rights” or would I be SOL if I tried that crap down there? Where the hell are these maggots and faggots getting these “civil rights” from anyway?

“Civil Rights” should not apply to foreigners

“The lawsuit, filed in Huntsville...”

Interesting. Birmingham, Montgomery, and Mobile have much more people than Huntsville (which is practically in Tennessee). Must be some ‘friendly’ judges up there.

...one more reason not to vote Third Party.

When the Alabama Baptist State Convention gets into the debate you get the following, the Rev. Mike Shaw, expressed mixed feelings. Shaw, pastor of First Baptist Church of Pelham, said all laws need to be enforced, but he is worried about the potential effects on church ministries.Leaders of the United Methodist Church, the Episcopal Church, the Lutheran Church and the Roman Catholic Church all have criticized the law as running counter to biblical teachings about caring for neighbors, helping visitors and showing hospitality to strangers.

Compassionate people do not steal social services that are paid for by U.S. Citizens is what it comes down to.

I find that civil rights groups have one thing in common. We have a group in Canada that is titled "No immigrants are illegal". For what they do, is to facilitate the entry of illegal immigrants willy nilly. Having done that with some success, they then wash their hands of any responsibility.

They do not fund housing, they do not fund medical care, they do not lose one dollar of their own savings in resettlement. In short, they do not give a damn. It is thrust on the authorities and society as a whole. Meanwhile the do gooders retire to their comfortable enclaves. Rarely do the illegals affect them.

Hypocrites.
