Petty Picking at Alabama's Immigration Law

The state of Alabama is leading the Crimson charge against illegal immigration.

Even a federal judge had to conceded the greater portions of the law were permissible, and not in violation or contravention of federal law or the United States Constitution.

One of the provisions of the law requires that a routine traffic stop must be followed by checking the status of the driver. Those who cannot produce proper identification will be arrested instead of merely fined.

This is not an onerous burden, nor should pro-illegal immigration activists used this unforeseen outcome as evidence of the "draconian" nature of the legislation.

The driver in question who was arrested had been driving a car without license plates, an egregious and foolish error which justified a traffic stop by the Tuscaloosa police.

Rather than demagoguing one misstep or overreach, the Main Stream Media ought to report on the damaging implication of unchecked illegal immigration, which is exhausting state resources, tying up law enforcement, and diminishing the quality of life for all Americans.
