Fox News Video: Alabama Immigration Law’s Ripple Effect



At FAIR, we have long believed in the idea of attrition through enforcement – the idea that when we enforce our immigration laws, illegal aliens will leave our cities on their own accord. Alabama’s recent immigration law is a perfect example of attrition through enforcement at work. 

Watch this video from Fox News‘ Greta van Susteren about the effect Alabama’s new law is having on one Alabama town and let us know what you think in the comments!

    Before illegal immigration ever became the issue it has today, the actual debate should have always stayed focused on the “rule of law”. Forget about the corporate elites desire for cheap labor, or wayward open border groups trying to press their demented agenda, and our useless government representatives pandering for votes. This has never been about lack of compassion, race, hate, or any other nonsense you’ll hear from these narrow-minded characters. One only has to look at the exorbitant cost American taxpayers are burdened with, due to the spinelessness that pervades much our government today, to truly understand the dilemma this nation faces. AL & AZ have it correct, states have the right to protect their citizens if the federal government fails to uphold the law. It’s unconscionable that this inept administration would even attempt to sue these states, as culpable as it is regarding their utter failure and breach of authority regarding almost every immigration issue.

      The liberal media and Socialist administration is not concerned about the welfare of American citizens, and seem to feel that we are too stupid to realize that they are robbing us of our rights and freedom. Our government are criminals for not following the “Rule of Law”, so it’s up to us citizens to protect ourselves, because Obama and the government will not! If you are a citizen, also be a patriot!

    Now if they will get rid of the majority illegal immigrants in Georgia, do away with giving people from india free business loans interest free for hundreds of thousands of dollars and don’t have to pay taxes for their first 7 years in america and buy up all our fast food restaurants, motels/hotels, convenient stores and stop allowing americans to live off of welfare and giving them ssi checks for “being crazy” we would be so much better off and us hard workers barely getting by.

    This is great news and for the guy in the video who was complaining about rentals, families being separated etc; you pay for their food stamps, Medicaid, ssi checks and let them take your jobs and see how long your attitude stays the same!

    All of you fail at life. You small-minded scum of the earth. You can’t see beyond your noses. Why don’t you admit already what you really hate about undocumented immigrants? Oh, is ‘undocumented’ too humanizing for you?

      My small mind believes in the “rule of law” and not goofballs like you who want to abide by their own “wants”.

    The only information that actually mattered on this video was at the start, unemployment dropped, Jobs that many would like us to believe Americans would not take – they are taking, as well as the accidents and unlicensed drivers down. The business lady that states that some of her employees left out of fear only tells me she hires illegals over and beyond citizens, so hopefully her business fails as well. There is no doubt all these stores and home rental companies that cater to the illegals will see a huge drop in business but I fail to see where that becomes an American citizen problem, if a company chooses to deal with a criminal element in society then it is to be expected that the day may come where that element is no longer there and thus their business may fail.

    Unemployment is 100% caused by immigration. Already the unemp. Level is dropping in AL. In 1998 before the invasion that comunist globalist Bill Clintong set up, this country was BOOMING. BOOMING. Has everyone forgotten those days? Nothing will change until we put AMERICANS back to work.

    AMERICA vs. MEXICO : CLASHING CULTURES ….. FRIGHTENING REALITY OF THE INVADERS

    “The legal age of sexual consent in Mexico is 12 years old. Sex with children at this age and younger is socially acceptable in Mexico . For example: A Mexican Lopez-Mendez pleaded guilty to sexual assault on a 10 year old girl in West Virginia . His excuse: sex with young girls was common with his people. He said, “I was unaware that it was a crime.”

    This is proof positive that illegal immigration is a crime of opportunity. If you take away the incentives, they WILL leave.
    Time to roll it out on a national level!
