Critics See ‘Chilling Effect’ in Alabama Immigration Law

The issue should be whether you want to have a deterrent to illegal immigration.  Those who oppose the law are usually democrats who see the illegals as future democrat voters rather than people who are ignoring the rule of law.  The purpose of the laws against immigrating here illegally should be a chilling effect of coming here without going through the legal process.  It should be the same for state laws that seek to enforce the law even if the Democrats do not want to do so.  I do not have a problem with treating illegals at the emergency room or educating their kids, but we should also inquire about their immigration status when they use those facilities.  To not do so is irresponsible.

The best way to deal with illegal immigration is to encourage self deportation.  It is the cheapest and most humane way to deal with it.  Policies like those in Alabama are needed to encourage self deportation because Obama has failed to deal with work place enforcement of the immigration laws.  His focus on criminal aliens give little incentive for self deportation of the non felon illegal aliens.

Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t
