Calls to SPLC Hotline Show Alabama Anti-Immigrant Law Creating Humanitarian Crisis
"Since the Southern Poverty Law Center established a hotline last week to report issues with Alabama’s new anti-immigrant law, we have received more than 1,000 calls, illustrating clearly that the law is on the verge of creating a humanitarian crisis for immigrants in the state – regardless of their immigration status. The dread in the callers’ voices is palpable as they contemplate uprooting their families or keeping their children home from school, or as they simply worry that the law will leave them homeless."
