“Buoyed by recent demonstrations and a newfound sense of solidarity, many Hispanics in Alabama are planning to shut down their businesses, stay home from work and keep their children home from school Monday as part of a national immigration protest.

With a Spanish-speaking population the Census Bureau estimates at 98,388 in Alabama - a number almost universally considered to be ridiculously low - participants say they want to show the economic power of immigrants who have moved to the state in recent years.”
