Alabama Immigration
A strict new immigration law in Alabama, HB-56, which requires police, schools and hospitals to check the immigration status of people, has both the legal and undocumented latino population in the state fearful of deportation and family break ups. Children in a Mexican trailer park play on the trash of a recently abandoned, and moved, trailer. The Mexican neighborhhods of suburban Birmingham have seen many people leave the state after hb-56 was passed.
