Alabama immigration law unleashes ugliness against nonwhite citizens

December 18, 2011 (1 min read)

"Hispanic citizens were harassed. Alabama native Carmen Gonzales, a 27-year-old from Foley, said she found a flier about the law on her windshield after work, with the words “Get out of town” written on the top.  The Vietnamese refugees of Bayou La Batre were intimidated, too, said Ana Chau, an oyster shucker. Like many in the community, Chau purchased a laminated, wallet-sized, U.S. passport card after the law went into effect, so that she would never be without documentation." - Bloomberg, Dec. 14, 2011.
