A need for facts and reason: Immigration in Alabama

What is not confused, however, is the emotion the issue of illegal immigration has generated, an emotion that’s reached down into Alabama. The other night nearly 300 people packed a public hearing in Huntsville to tell the commission what they thought. Commissioners got an ear-full.

The audience was mostly white and mostly middle-aged; some people were upset, reports said. They were opposed to illegal immigration, opposed to businesses hiring illegal immigrants, and opposed to spending tax money to pay for health care and social services for illegal immigrants.”*

Did You Know? The social security database e-verify uses has a 4 percent error rate, though Shuler claims the overall system has an error rate of half a percent. Both of those numbers sound insignificant. Iowa Republican Steve King says "The accuracy of the e-verify system is remarkable!" and "almost perfect!" But 4 percent of 153 million workers is 6,120,000. (Half a percent is 765,000.) That's a lot of people who will have to wrangle with the federal government before showing up at the office.
