What did you find funny about it?

I've often wondered just how big a problem illegal immigration is in Alabama. Is it on the same scale as the Southwest and California? Is it primarily in the agriculture sector?

Clearly, we need a national policy and legislation on illegals and in the face of the lack of such, I can't blame states for trying to deal with the problem.
I don't agree with you that the jobs that illegals fill are going to be filled by legals or unemployed Americans. But that doesn't mean that we should ignore the illegal problem.

I'm sure there are those who will see the potential for racial profiling in the new law. As with anything else, the devil will be in the details as to how the law is implemented. We don't want to create a police state where certain groups have to continually keep their papers on them just to prove that they are legal, just based on the way they look or their name.

It will be interesting to see how it plays out, and no doubt their will be additional court challenges.
