I was reading about the strict enforcement of an immigration law in Alabama (HB56). Police officers can ask for anyone's legal status if they're suspects of crimes and schools can ask students about their origin of birth.

I'm pretty on the fence about immigration laws. I understand that it's unfair because legal citizens pay taxes, and have waited and gone through the whole application process, but in terms of human rights, it's despairing to read about all these immigrants who are deported back to their country.

If my family or I were illegal immigrants, I would hope with every ounce of my being that the government would take pity and grant me a chance to stay in America.
