Listen to Americans will finally get their chance to pick fruit

AlabamaA judge has ruled that Alabama can start enforcing most provisions of the toughest immigration law in the nation.

In Alabama, the cops, when they make an arrest or even a routine traffic stop, are NOW allowed to investigate whether that person is in the country legally.

Public universities can still enroll anyone they want, but public GRADE schools are now REQUIRED to check whether students are citizens.

And, if you’re in Alabama illegally, the state may not provide a drivers license, or even hook up your water or sewer!

Take that!

I’m just wondering how you enforce this?

In America, we have no national ID card, and Alabama doesn’t require an official state ID card, so what’s to prevent anyone from saying, even in broken English, “You can’t treat me like this, I’m a citizen!”

We don’t have to carry birth certificates, or citizenship papers; do the cops have time to track down all these documents for every broken tail light?

Probably not. But I’m guessing the idea here is to make people scared enough that they’ll self-deport without waiting for the investigation. The Republicans who pushed this bill through were clear: they want to free up jobs for LEGAL Alabamans, and the judge’s ruling means we are finally going to see if that works.

We’ve been told that the reason you never see Americans picking fruit, for example, even though unemployment is above 9%, is that they haven’t been given the chance. Alabama is about to give them the chance.

It’s the first state that truly has the power to push illegals OUT of their jobs so that Americans can snap them up. So, go south young man, your next career awaits.
