Dear Patriots:
 
Please forward this message to your membership and request that they send it to their email lists.  We all worked so hard last year to back our legislators who had the courage to resist pro-amnesty groups and unlawful businesses who hire illegal labor.  We were proud of them!  However, this law now seems to be under threat.  It's urgent that we get out front fast to have a chance of derailing attempts to weaken our law befor the U.S. Supreme Court rules on the Arizona law, which has some of the same provisions as Alabama's law.  Please read the article below and contact your legislators -- and ask your family and friends to do the same.
 
Thanks so much!
Elois

 

BATTLE OF THE 2012 LEGISLATIVE SESSION
By Elois Zeanah, AFRW President 

ALABAMA’S LAW IS WORKING!  Illegal aliens are self-deporting!  Unemployment is down! Tax dollars paid in public benefits to illegal aliens are down! 

WHY, THEN, WOULD ALABAMA’S ATTORNEY GENERAL AND LEGISLATORS WANT TO WEAKEN THE LAW?

Voters are being forced to re-fight a battle that we won just last year.  The battle to keep HB56 intact has been described as a fight between social conservatives and certain business interests who want to force taxpayers to subsidize their cheap illegal labor.  Here’s why:

            *  Attorney General Luther Strange has recommended the Legislature repeal major sections of HB56 that encourage illegal aliens to leave our state while the judicial process is still underway.  He seems to have a strange desire to surrender in areas even where the state is winning. 

            *  Senator Gerald Dial has taken the AG’s torch and run with it.  He submitted SB140 that repeals most sections recommended by the AG.  Repeals include provisions that:

(1) Allow citizens to sue officials who refuse to enforce the law so Alabama won’t become a sanctuary state,     
(2) Make it a crime to knowingly rent to illegal aliens, 
(3) Make it a crime to encourage or induce illegal aliens to move to Alabama, 
(4) Require schools to count the number of children of illegal aliens to help budget their expense, and
(5) Mandate that applicants must show proof of citizenship to register to vote.

            *  Senator Paul Sanford has sponsored a bill to repeal another section recommended by the AG – that applicants do not have to show any ID to renew licenses of any type, such as tags, driver’s or business licenses.  This means that illegal aliens in Alabama who have licenses won’t be caught.  Sanford has also submitted a bill that would not require employers to use E-Verify, which he voted against the first time.  

            *  The Republican leadership says more bills will be forthcoming but shared no details.

Republicans say they will defend and not weaken our immigration law, HB56.  Given the above examples to change/weaken our law, this leaves voters to ask if “defending the law” is a “talking point”.  If Republicans are sincere that they will NOT weaken our law that’s wildly success
