Once again Alabama has shown the rest of the world it is indeed on of the most misguided states in the US. Their idea of treating all of its Latin community as criminals is extremely unconstitutional and in the end will only hurt the state. As a person of who grew up in an agricultural town you see that a majority of the “illegal” workers are hardworking citizens like any other “legal” person working in the US. In the end I feel it will be Alabama that will pay. The immigrant workers can move to surrounding states, there will always be a need for their type of work. But as you stated in your blog post farms have lost productivity or shut down completely. In a time when our economy is so finite Alabama will soon feel the hurt of a depleted work force full of jobs that a lot of it citizens may not want to work. In the end if the legislation of Alabama feels the need to punish its students in public schools then clearly they gave their priorities backwards. These children more than likely had no say so in wither or not their parents came to the US in search of a better life for them, but The State is making them pay for it. Perhaps the state will quickly realize the error in there ways or maybe they will continue to persecute its citizens who work at the roots of its state.
