In Alabama, like Georgia and North Carolina before them, racism is put above both economic and civil rights concerns as the state basically makes it illegal to be brown.

Sure, there are undocumented and falsely documented workers in this country. Either find a way to get them to work legally or find a way to pay Americans enough to do the work. Because, whatever the current laws are trying to do is just going to make a lot of folks hungry, both the workers not getting paid, the farmers fined or forced out of business, and the rest of us paying more for smaller amounts of food as it rots in the fields.

Short-sighted and cruel conservatives will truly be the undoing of this nation if their agenda can’t be stopped. Or at least turned to productive ends. Laws like the one mentioned sure as hell won’t do the job.
