Here's an article I found in the New York Times. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/08/us/alabama-us-appeals-immigration-ruling.html?scp=3&sq=alabama&st=cse
It's talking about how Alabama passed a new immigration law. This law is supposed to prevent illegal immigrants from entering Alabama. Yet, The Justice Department feels that this law could lead to discrimination against legal immigrants in Alabama. It let's the police check the status of anyone they suspect of being an illegal and asking for their papers. Personally I hope this law falls inward on itself. It's too reminiscent of Jim Crow laws for my tastes.
