New Alabama law unsettling for some undocumented immigrants

(CNN) -- The ink had barely dried on the order signed by Judge Sharon Lovelace Blackburn, allowing most of Alabama's anti-illegal immigration law to go into effect, when fear settled into some in the state's Hispanic community.

"We are in panic mode," said Maria Morales, an illegal immigrant living in Montgomery.

The law known as HB56 is the strictest in the country, allowing police officers to ask about the legal status of people investigated for a crime, if reasonable suspicion exists, and detain them for immigration authorities.

"We cannot even go out and buy food," Said Perla Perez, who has lived in Alabama for the past five years without legal status.

The law also requires public schools to ask about the legal status of children born in foreign countries and that of their parents.

"I'm not afraid for myself," said Perez, who has two U.S.-born children. "If they want to deport me, that is fine. But then what would happen to my children? Who will take care of them?" she said.

Good. But then again, I’m heartless.

They’re nervous about being asked a question?

Says it all. No guiltier conscience exists than that afraid of the truth.

Children simply follow the parents citizen or not citizen.

What she is really asking is “If I am deported how will my children obtain FREE STUFF?”
