The document provides an overview of Alabama's 2011 immigration law known as HB 56 or the "Hammon-Beason Alabama Taxpayer and Citizen Protection Act". It discusses the key provisions of the law which place restrictions on illegal immigrants and require verification of legal status. The law has been controversial and faced legal challenges and opposition over concerns that it violates civil rights and could negatively impact the state's economy. While supporters argue it has reduced illegal immigration, many studies have found little economic benefit and costs to the state from enforcing the law.
The document discusses the debate around immigration reform in the United States. It provides background on illegal immigration and discusses proposals like the DREAM Act to provide paths to citizenship. The main topic is President Obama's planned executive action to reform immigration policy by expanding protections from deportation and work permits to millions of undocumented immigrants, including parents of citizens. Critics argue this oversteps executive authority and could encourage more illegal immigration.

American Immigration Policy and Legislation
The United States Senate prepared a bill in the year 2007 meant to address the problem of illegal immigrants and those that were not documented (Kenny 92). The bill aimed at tightening border security and later opening a path for immigrants to acquire citizenship. Since then, immigration policy and legislation in the United States of America has risen, and many debates have been witnessed. Immigration is such a sensitive issue in the politics of the United States of America requiring proper legislation procedures to be formulated. History shows that most people living in America are descendants of immigrants or slaves who migrated to the country in the course of last 400 years. This excludes the Native Americans who are considered as original people who lived in the U.S.
In former times, the government of U.S. allowed the immigrants to settle in an expanded territory. This was later changed by the outbreak of civil wars that required from each state to enact immigration laws. Most of the early initial immigration laws were introduced to control the composition of the general United States population. Several policies and laws of immigration to U.S. were passed by the Congress. Consequently, the concerns about border security increased, and immigration laws were further shifted to address the issue. This paper explores deeply the American legislation and policies of immigration. In particular, the introduction of reforms in immigration department by President Obama takes the center of the discussion with focus on the new bill yet to be presented to the Congress.
Policy and Legislation of U.S. Immigration
The White House currently has plans of implementing new immigration policies while considering the need to reinforce the existing immigration laws as proposed by the Republicans. The three major proposals circulating in the U.S. Congress now are based on border security, possible path for an immigrant to become a legal U.S. citizen, and special status of agricultural workers. President Obama together with Democrats and some Republicans in the Congress is currently working on an immigration bill incorporating all the three issues. The matter has caused debates among the Republicans and Democrats extending to the whole nation. The need to reinforce the existing laws and enact new ones was the main subject in these debates. As a result, the legislators formed a committee to review and suggest proper immigration laws.

The document discusses conservative Republican views on the 2010 DREAM Act, which proposed pathways to citizenship for some illegal immigrants. Republicans viewed it as amnesty that would encourage more illegal immigration and take opportunities from American students. While over half of Americans supported it, it failed due to Republican opposition in the Senate. Republicans generally aim to strengthen border security before legalizing undocumented immigrants.

The moral panic over immigration that has fomented and grown in intensity with the terrorist attacks of 9/11; Welsh (2002, p.5) states that the laws were due to “moral panic…through distorted lens of racial and ethnic stereotypes.” The immigration laws are controversial to sparing viewpoints because the dilemma is not a clearcut liberal vs. conservative, or democrat vs. republican issue. The problem and solutions are multi-faceted and affect many aspects of American life.
This argumentative essay discusses immigration policy in the United States. It argues that President Trump's decision to repeal DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) is unconstitutional because it violates the 14th Amendment and concepts of citizenship. The 14th Amendment defines that everyone within U.S. borders is protected, regardless of legal status. While some argue that DACA overstepped presidential powers, revoking it violates the rights of Dreamers who have lived in the U.S. most of their lives. The essay maintains that the U.S. was founded by immigrants and has long welcomed people from diverse backgrounds, so restricting protections for undocumented people goes against American principles.

H.R. 140 - Birthright Citizenship Act of 2011
Introduction
The fundamental American civil right of giving U.S. citizenship to anyone born on U.S. soil can be found in the Fourteenth Amendment, Section 1:
“All personsbornornaturalizedintheUnitedStatesandsubjecttothejurisdictionthereof arecitizensoftheUnitedStatesandoftheStatewhereintheyreside.No State shallmakeorenforce anylaw whichshallabridgetheprivilegesorimmunitiesofcitizensoftheUnitedStates;norshallanyStatedepriveanypersonoflife,liberty,orproperty,withoutdueprocessoflaw;nordenytoanypersonwithinitsjurisdictiontheequalprotectionofthelaws (Library of Congress).”
For the past few years, Republican lawmakers have introduced bills that would end the practice of birthright citizenship for children of illegal immigrants citing “anchor babies” (defined by the American Heritage Dictionary as “a child born to a noncitizen mother in a country that grants automatic citizenship to children born on its soil”) as one of the main reasons why immigrants come to this country in the first place (Ward, Eric). Even though they have been unsuccessful to this point, they continue to pursue this issue because public opinion continues to grow against illegal immigration. Republicans latest attempt to finally resolve this loophole is H.R. 140 - Birthright Citizenship Act of 2011.
Although illegal immigration has created several problems for the country as a whole, the Birthright Citizenship Act will not solve the current illegal immigration problem because it would not stop illegal immigrants from coming to this country, it would create a new financial burden on the U.S. government, and because the law cannot be retroactive so there would be no immediate changes.
In this paper I will start by giving a brief explanation of the law, showing the purpose for it as well as which organizations are in support of the measure. From there I will discuss why I disagree with the law and the three reasons that support my point of view. Lastly, I will look at the oppositions view and their arguments for that view concluding with a brief review of the paper and restatement of why I disagree with this law.
Brief Explanation of the Birthright Citizenship Act
H.R. 140 – Birthright Citizenship Act of 2011 – was introduced to the House of Representatives by Rep. Steve King, R-IA on January 5, 2011. It is co-sponsored by eighty-seven representatives and supported by the American Resistance Foundation and the John Birch Society (Participatory Politics Foundation). According to OpenCongress’ summary:
“This bill would eliminate birthright citizenship for children born to undocumented immigrants in the U.S. Current U.S. law automatically recognizes any person born on American soil as a natural born citizen. Under the bill, only children with at least one parent who is a U.S. citizen, a legal permanent resident, or an undocumented immigrant serving in the military would be considered citizens.”

3) However, taking on immigration enforcement can be problematic as it diverts resources away from other law enforcement responsibilities and may damage relationships with immigrant communities. Effective policies and oversight are needed.

Undocumented Immigrants in United States
Overview
Undocumented immigrants can be defined as those people who were not born in America and have no legal rights that allow them to live in America. Undocumented immigrants are also known as aliens but this is not a legal term and it is widely used among the Americans because of its abusive connotation. It is believed that there are more than 11 million people living in America as illegal or undocumented immigrants in United States and this number has stood steady in the last the last eight years consecutively (Massey & Gentsch, 2014). This has been credited on many things that include stability of the Mexican economy and the gradual economic gains of nations across the world that have witnessed a number of its citizens moving to America to seek employment. Other immigration experts attribute this to the recent signed immigration policy by the Trump administration in United States. This paper will look at some of the issues around immigration in America that impact undocumented immigrants.
Undocumented Immigrants
The report that was released this year on the number of undocumented immigrants in the United States has remained steady in the last seven years and it has stood at 11.3 million. One reason as to why the number of undocumented immigrants in America has been steady is because of the Mexican economy stability and the improved rules and regulations on immigration in America that have been passed in the last few years (Goldman et al., 2014). The number of undocumented immigrants is likely to go down further in the next few years given the deportation policy that has been passed into law by the Trump administration in the recent past. The policy though controversial has given the immigration department powers to identify any undocumented immigrant and depot them back to their countries. the united states federal government has maintained that the proposed wall on the Mexican American border remain the highest priority of the current administration and this will contribute to the reduction of undocumented immigrants in America (Jiang, 2017). Mexico has been the mother of countries that produce most of the undocumented in American but it reduced to just 49% in 2016 and they have dropped from 6.4 million in 2009 to 5.6 million in 2015. The number has been increasing due to instability among most countries and people have flown to America to seek refuge and asylum.
Rules, Regulation and Government Legislation
The major reason as to why there are more immigrants in United States in the rules and regulations that must be followed for one to be an American citizen and that allow the authorities to deport already undocumented immigrants ...
This document summarizes a meeting between an Ohio legislator and a lobbyist where they discussed advancing model legislation benefiting the insurance industry and fundraising for ALEC. The legislator agreed to introduce the legislation and it was passed without committee scrutiny. The lobbyist then provided names of insurance companies to help with ALEC fundraising. This suggests a quid pro quo relationship where legislative actions benefited ALEC donors.
This document discusses perspectives on immigration in the United States. It begins by outlining the diverse views among the public and how those views are represented along partisan and regional lines. Conservatives generally favor more restrictive policies while liberals support pathways to citizenship. The document then provides historical context on immigration to the US before concluding by arguing that US citizens should recognize the value of citizenship that immigrants desire.
The Obama administration announced that it will stop deporting younger undocumented immigrants who entered the U.S. as children and grant them work permits. Approximately 800,000 young people, known as DREAMers, will qualify for deferred action from deportation if they meet certain criteria. While not providing a path to citizenship, the policy change will allow eligible youth to legally work and remain in the U.S. without fear of deportation. The administration stressed this is not amnesty or immunity, but a temporary measure until Congress passes comprehensive immigration reform.

Law is a social activity. It is made within an environment where many forces attempt to influence whether a bill becomes law; and it is interpreted in an environment where actors on both (or sometimes many) sides of the controversy to be decided have interests that they are motivated to satisfy.
In this Individual Project assignment, you have an opportunity to write an essay on
1
of 2 topics listed below:
Option 1:
In the wake of the terrorist attacks in New York on September 11, 2001, a law called the USA Patriot Act was passed by Congress and signed into law by President George W. Bush. Regulations were put into place as a result of this law that increased the powers of various government agencies to engage in surveillance activities on American citizens under broader circumstances than ever before. This called into question for many people whether the legislation trampled on the civil liberties of Americans. Although reforms to the Act have resulted in changes intended to reduce these fears, in a number of court cases, interest groups have engaged in activities in an attempt to influence the outcomes.
Option 2:
In May of 2008, marriage between same-sex couples became legal in California. This situation lasted for only a few short months, and then a proposed amendment to the California Constitution (Proposition 8) was passed by the voters in November of the same year. Both proponents and opponents of same-sex marriage acknowledge that this issue will be in and out of the courts for many years, most likely ending with a decision by the U.S. Supreme Court. The battle for and against Proposition 8 was intensely waged by forces on both sides of the issue. These forces are continuing their activities in hopes of influencing future court outcomes by swaying public opinion and media attention in their favor.
Assignment Guidelines
Write an essay of between 2–3 pages on 1 of these issues (Option 1
or
Option 2). You will need to access various types of outside sources to respond thoroughly to the following questions and topics, and include appropriate and properly formatted APA-style citations:
What are the key provisions of law that are at the center of this debate?
Which interest groups and individuals are active on both sides of the debate on this issue, and what specific interests are they attempting to promote?
What is the current legal situation on this issue?
Using research from your text, the AIU Library, supplemental course materials, and Web-based resources for background, what activities have the groups or individuals promoting various positions on this issue engaged in that you think might have influenced legal interpretation?
What do you conclude about how public opinion, actions of interest groups, and media coverage do or do not have the potential of influencing the outcome of court cases on important social policies?

This week's environmental controversy focuses on the question: should Immigration into the US be reduced? Review the background information. Then, using the References along with resources from your own research, write a 1-2 page response to the questions that follow. Remember to cite your sources using proper APA format.
Background Information
Legal and illegal immigration into the United States is discussed in your textbook. Advocates of liberal immigration argue that both legal and illegal immigrants are needed to perform difficult and low paying jobs that most citizens won't take. Advocates also sympathize with immigrants because many of them are fleeing poverty and tyranny in their homelands. Immigrants pay taxes, help to support the US social security system, and contribute to American society.
Opponents of immigration include individuals that want to ban or significantly reduce all immigration, and those that simply want more stringent efforts to end illegal immigration. Opponents argue that current immigration policies and border patrol methods are too lenient and allow terrorists to infiltrate into the US.

This document is a senior thesis written by Jonathan Covey that provides pastors with guidance on navigating immigration issues in churches. It aims to disentangle confusing aspects of immigration law so pastors can keep congregations out of legal trouble. The paper focuses on federal alien harboring statutes and what constitutes harboring. It acknowledges the tension between Christian compassion and upholding the law, integrating a biblical discussion on the topic.
The House of Representatives is considering taking a different approach to immigration reform than the Senate bill that passed. The House may pursue individual bills focused on border security, guest workers, and high-skilled immigration instead of one comprehensive bill. House Republicans fear angering their conservative base and face political risks if they support citizenship for undocumented immigrants. The fate of immigration reform in 2013 will depend on whether the House can pass its own bill that differs from the Senate's approach.
The Foundations Of The Federal GovernmentApril Dillard
The Federal Government was originally based on two differing sets of beliefs - Democratic-Republicans and Federalists. The Federalists were more influential, shaping policies like ratifying the Constitution, foreign affairs, and financial policies. Their ideas evolved into modern federalism, with a more powerful central government. The Federalist Papers, written by Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, and James Madison, supported America's need for structure and helped ratify the Constitution. Government corporations like Amtrak receive most funds from users rather than taxpayers, making consumers the main source of income. The Federal Government has expanded its authority significantly over time through new departments, agencies, and laws regulating businesses.

Undocumented Immigrants
The report that was released this year on the number of undocumented immigrants in the United States has remained steady in the last seven years and it has stood at 11.3 million. One reason as to why the number of undocumented immigrants in America has been steady is because of the Mexican economy stability and the improved rules and regulations on immigration in America that have been passed in the last few years (Goldman et al., 2014). The number of undocumented immigrants is likely to go down further in the next few years given the deportation policy that has been passed into law by the Trump administration in the recent past. The policy though controversial has given the immigration department powers to identify any undocumented immigrant and depot them back to their countries. the united states federal government has maintained that the proposed wall on the Mexican American border remain the highest priority of the current administration and this will contribute to the reduction of undocumented immigrants in America (Jiang, 2017). Mexico has been the mother of countries that produce most of the undocumented in American but it reduced to just 49% in 2016 and they have dropped from 6.4 million in 2009 to 5.6 million in 2015. The number has been increasing due to instability among most countries and people have flown to America to seek refuge and asylum.
Rules, Regulation and Government Legislation
The major reason as to why there are more immigrants in United States in the rules and regulations that must be followed for one to be an American citizen and that allow the authorities to deport already undocumented immigrants ...
This document summarizes a meeting between an Ohio legislator and a lobbyist where they discussed advancing model legislation benefiting the insurance industry and fundraising for ALEC. The legislator agreed to introduce the legislation and it was passed without committee scrutiny. The lobbyist then provided names of insurance companies to help with ALEC fundraising. This suggests a quid pro quo relationship where legislative actions benefited ALEC donors.
This document discusses perspectives on immigration in the United States. It begins by outlining the diverse views among the public and how those views are represented along partisan and regional lines. Conservatives generally favor more restrictive policies while liberals support pathways to citizenship. The document then provides historical context on immigration to the US before concluding by arguing that US citizens should recognize the value of citizenship that immigrants desire.
The Obama administration announced that it will stop deporting younger undocumented immigrants who entered the U.S. as children and grant them work permits. Approximately 800,000 young people, known as DREAMers, will qualify for deferred action from deportation if they meet certain criteria. While not providing a path to citizenship, the policy change will allow eligible youth to legally work and remain in the U.S. without fear of deportation. The administration stressed this is not amnesty or immunity, but a temporary measure until Congress passes comprehensive immigration reform.

Law is a social activity. It is made within an environment where many forces attempt to influence whether a bill becomes law; and it is interpreted in an environment where actors on both (or sometimes many) sides of the controversy to be decided have interests that they are motivated to satisfy.
In this Individual Project assignment, you have an opportunity to write an essay on
1
of 2 topics listed below:
Option 1:
In the wake of the terrorist attacks in New York on September 11, 2001, a law called the USA Patriot Act was passed by Congress and signed into law by President George W. Bush. Regulations were put into place as a result of this law that increased the powers of various government agencies to engage in surveillance activities on American citizens under broader circumstances than ever before. This called into question for many people whether the legislation trampled on the civil liberties of Americans. Although reforms to the Act have resulted in changes intended to reduce these fears, in a number of court cases, interest groups have engaged in activities in an attempt to influence the outcomes.
Option 2:
In May of 2008, marriage between same-sex couples became legal in California. This situation lasted for only a few short months, and then a proposed amendment to the California Constitution (Proposition 8) was passed by the voters in November of the same year. Both proponents and opponents of same-sex marriage acknowledge that this issue will be in and out of the courts for many years, most likely ending with a decision by the U.S. Supreme Court. The battle for and against Proposition 8 was intensely waged by forces on both sides of the issue. These forces are continuing their activities in hopes of influencing future court outcomes by swaying public opinion and media attention in their favor.
Assignment Guidelines
Write an essay of between 2–3 pages on 1 of these issues (Option 1
or
Option 2). You will need to access various types of outside sources to respond thoroughly to the following questions and topics, and include appropriate and properly formatted APA-style citations:
What are the key provisions of law that are at the center of this debate?
Which interest groups and individuals are active on both sides of the debate on this issue, and what specific interests are they attempting to promote?
What is the current legal situation on this issue?
Using research from your text, the AIU Library, supplemental course materials, and Web-based resources for background, what activities have the groups or individuals promoting various positions on this issue engaged in that you think might have influenced legal interpretation?
What do you conclude about how public opinion, actions of interest groups, and media coverage do or do not have the potential of influencing the outcome of court cases on important social policies?

This week's environmental controversy focuses on the question: should Immigration into the US be reduced? Review the background information. Then, using the References along with resources from your own research, write a 1-2 page response to the questions that follow. Remember to cite your sources using proper APA format.
Background Information
Legal and illegal immigration into the United States is discussed in your textbook. Advocates of liberal immigration argue that both legal and illegal immigrants are needed to perform difficult and low paying jobs that most citizens won't take. Advocates also sympathize with immigrants because many of them are fleeing poverty and tyranny in their homelands. Immigrants pay taxes, help to support the US social security system, and contribute to American society.
Opponents of immigration include individuals that want to ban or significantly reduce all immigration, and those that simply want more stringent efforts to end illegal immigration. Opponents argue that current immigration policies and border patrol methods are too lenient and allow terrorists to infiltrate into the US.

This document is a senior thesis written by Jonathan Covey that provides pastors with guidance on navigating immigration issues in churches. It aims to disentangle confusing aspects of immigration law so pastors can keep congregations out of legal trouble. The paper focuses on federal alien harboring statutes and what constitutes harboring. It acknowledges the tension between Christian compassion and upholding the law, integrating a biblical discussion on the topic.
The House of Representatives is considering taking a different approach to immigration reform than the Senate bill that passed. The House may pursue individual bills focused on border security, guest workers, and high-skilled immigration instead of one comprehensive bill. House Republicans fear angering their conservative base and face political risks if they support citizenship for undocumented immigrants. The fate of immigration reform in 2013 will depend on whether the House can pass its own bill that differs from the Senate's approach.
The Foundations Of The Federal GovernmentApril Dillard
The Federal Government was originally based on two differing sets of beliefs - Democratic-Republicans and Federalists. The Federalists were more influential, shaping policies like ratifying the Constitution, foreign affairs, and financial policies. Their ideas evolved into modern federalism, with a more powerful central government. The Federalist Papers, written by Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, and James Madison, supported America's need for structure and helped ratify the Constitution. Government corporations like Amtrak receive most funds from users rather than taxpayers, making consumers the main source of income. The Federal Government has expanded its authority significantly over time through new departments, agencies, and laws regulating businesses.

The solar wind is dominated by two types of interplanetary disturbances: transient and corotating disturbances. Corotating disturbances are associated with spatial variability and solar rotation occurring from the interaction of fast and slow solar winds. Transient disturbances are due to episodic solar eruptions that expand outward from the sun. Galactic cosmic ray intensity is modulated by both long-term effects like the 11-year solar activity cycle and short-term effects such as passage of corotating flows and transient disturbances.

Alabama S Immigration Reform Bill
1. HB 56 1
Hammon-Beason Alabama Taxpayer and Citizen Protection Act/HB 56
Sue Roh
Social Welfare Policy and Service II
Anjali Chiani
March 24, 2012
2. HB 56 2
How to address illegal immigration in the United States has and continues to be a
controversial issue, which can currently be seen in various legislative proposals, particularly
from individual states. Julia Preston of the New York Times (2011) cited a report from the
National Conference of State Legislatures which recorded an unprecedented number of proposals
(1538 bills) in the first 3 months of last year that were related to immigration. Preston reports
that the most controversial laws designed to control illegal immigration started with Arizona,
which required government employees (particularly local law enforcement) to confirm
citizenship status with anyone they suspected of illegally residency and imposed severe penalties
for employers who knowingly hire illegal immigrants.
The state of Alabama enacted a law similar to that of Arizona in September of 2011, but
included provisions that were so controversial, it has gained national attention by human rights
groups and the federal government. Alabama's immigration law, known as the “Hammon-Beason
Alabama Taxpayer and Citizen Protection Act”, or HB 56, was introduced by Representatives
Mickey Hammon and Senator Scott Beason. This law places a variety of restrictions on illegal
aliens by criminalizing their “presence, employment, contracts with, and benefits regulated,
concealing, or protecting illegal aliens” and requiring “verification of legal status” for those
seeking employment, public benefits, school enrollment and voter registration, (Alabama
Legislative Information System Online, n.d.).
Representative Hammon espoused the effectiveness of the bill in addressing illegal
immigration because it “attacks every aspect of an illegal immigrant’s life. They will not stay in
3. HB 56 3
Alabama…This bill is designed to make it difficult for them to live here so they will deport
themselves” (The Economist, 2012). Self-deportation, or “attrition through enforcement”, seems
to be the method du jour in reducing the presence of illegal immigrants.
According to a piece on the new law by NPR’s, This American Life (TAL) (2012),
immigration was not a major issue in the state of Alabama. But in 2010 Republicans campaigned
for legislative seats using five major pledges, which included reducing the presence of illegal
immigrants. After the elections, Kris Kobach, a constitutional lawyer considered to be the
“mastermind” of attrition through enforcement, saw an opportunity when Republicans gained
control of Alabama’s state legislature.
The U.S. Justice Department has since sued the state of Alabama arguing that
immigration policy enforcement is the job of the federal government, not the states. In addition,
the U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security informed Congress on October 26, 2011 that her
department would not assist in enforcing HB 56, and will continue to focus their resources on
“those who are a threat to others,” (Orndoff, 2011).
In the American Civil Liberties Unions’s (2012) “Preliminary Analysis of HB 56”,
several provisions of the act were found to be unconstitutional and in violation of several federal
human rights laws and pre-empted federal immigration laws by establishing their own immigrant
crimes. The analysis concludes, “HB 56 attempts to make a class of individuals non-persons in
the eyes of the law. If it goes into effect, it will deny immigrants and Alabamans of color their
most basic rights.”
Since the bill has passed, there has been some consternation about the effects of the bill
on the state and its citizens by both Democrats and Republicans. Gerald Dial, (Republican whip
4. HB 56 4
in the state Senate) initially supported the law, but is now campaigning to “tweak the law” due to
concerns that new businesses are going to stay away. The Home Builders Association of
Alabama, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the Alabama Farmers Federation, and other business
groups are opposed to the law, due to the increased paperwork associated with provisions of the
law and concern that potential investors may be deterred. However, Senator Scott Beason feels
the bill has successfully fulfilled its original intentions; he points to the roughly 75,000 people
who have self-deported within three months of the bill’s passage, thus opening up jobs for legal
residents (TAL, 2012).
Samuel Addy, Ph.D., a University of Alabama economist, analyzed the economic effects
of HB 56 on the state of Alabama (2012). He found that the main economic arguments for the
bill failed to take into account various economic contributions that illegal immigrants bring to the
state such as through sales taxes and other revenues they contribute as consumers and made false
generalizations on the economic drain that immigrants pose arguing that most illegal immigrants
prefer to “remain under the radar” and are the least likely to take advantage of welfare programs.
Professor Addy concluded that even with insufficient qualitative and quantitative estimates on
how much the state will save in reducing their illegal immigrant population, the potential loss of
economic developmental opportunities and implementation costs of the bill will most likely
result in a net loss to the state in the long run.
The concern over the loss in production, particularly in agriculture, has already become a
very real problem for farm owners, who are experiencing severe loss in help needed to keep their
businesses running. Most reject the claims by law makers that legal workers will replace the lost
help, citing higher turnover and an unwillingness to work the long hours required during harvest
time, (Rock Center, 2012). In October of 2011 there had been a drop in unemployment rates in
5. HB 56 5
the state of Alabama (1/2% compared to 1/10 of 1% drop in the national average), which
supporters of the bill often attribute to the passage of the bill. But Ahmad Ijaz, The Director of
Economic Forecasting at the University of Alabama, states most of the job growth was in the
automotive sector, where illegal workers are rarely found, and there was no job growth in areas
where they do typically work (agriculture, poultry processing, construction), (TAL, 2012).
On November 21, 2011, Alabama Congresswoman Terri Sewell held an “Ad-hoc”
committee meeting on HB 56. Those who testified their opposition to the bill included the Mayor
of Birmingham, William Bell, who compared the law to apartheid and Jim Crow laws and
wondered how municipalities, already dealing with budget cuts, will cover the cost of enforcing
the new laws, (Left In Alabama, 2011). Police Chief Steven Anderson of Tuscaloosa told This
American Life (2012) that the bill will inhibit his department’s ability to address actual crimes,
adding that, “the Hispanic population was not the population in our community that was
committing those crimes. So immigration was not a problem for our police department.”
In early February of this year, college students representing a range of local universities
showed their opposition against HB 56 during a week-long student action event to inform other
students on the various human rights issues and discriminatory implications that the law presents
(Chandler, 2012). A “Valentine’s Day Rally” to repeal HB 56 was held at the Alabama State
House, (Alabama Coalition for Immigrant Justice, 2012). Most recently, during the
commemoration of “Bloody Sunday”, both African Americans and Hispanics gathered to protest
the Voter ID and HB 56 laws, arguing both violate basic human rights (Tell Me More, 2012).
Even though HB56 initially passed with little opposition and polls showed strong support for
immigration reform (60%, according to Rock Center), recent polls have shown opposition to HB
6. HB 56 6
56 in its current form. A poll conducted by Capital Survey Research Center found that 57% of
likely state voters support “either revising or repealing the immigration law,” (Chandler, 2011).
Since its passage, HB 56 has been covered by both local and national news media such as
Birmingham News and The Economist. Is this Alabama.com presents four videos by director
Chris Weitz (“A Better Life”) and Jose Antonio (Center for American Progress) in response to
the bill. Perhaps the most comprehensive piece on the bill was by NPR’s This American Life
titled, “Reap What You Sow,” which discusses how the bill came to pass, the national and local
implications of the bill, as well as the human toll on those directly affected by it.
Whether or not HB 56 (or at least some of its provisions) is repealed will depend upon
similar efforts to repeal the Arizona immigration law, which is due to go before the U.S Supreme
Court in April 2012. This was decided by the 11th
U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals earlier this
month, who would not issue a decision on HB 56 until after the U.S. Supreme Court makes their
decision on the Arizona bill (Elliot, 2012). There are many reasons why legislators and the
general public feel that there needs to be some sort of immigration reform. One of the HB 56’s
authors, Kris Kobach, has been key in creating immigration reform laws for several states with
the goal for a nation-wide law promoting self-deportation; his driving force being the prevention
of another terrorist attack, such as 9/11, (TAL, 2012). While Kobach insists he is not anti-
Hispanic, immigration reform bills like Alabama’s directly effect this population, among other
minority populations. The collateral damage of this type of bill has been foreseen by those
opposed to the bill and their arguments seem to have been ignored by its sponsors, who drove the
bill through and are now faced with the task of defending the bill and its individual components
to their constituents and the U.S Judicial System. Through HB 56, Alabama has succeeded in
7. HB 56 7
reducing their illegal immigrant population. The questions that many are now asking is whether
this will ultimately hurt or help the state in the long run, both fiscally and culturally. This is an
important question to ask given the growing number of states that have either already passed
