STATEMENT OF ATTORNEY GENERAL LUTHER STRANGE
Regarding Revisions to Alabama Immigration Law
“My recent comments regarding changes to Alabama’s immigration
legislation were referring to the provisions at issue in the Arizona case that are
also a part of the Alabama law. I do not believe that now is the time to make
changes to those sections. But there are numerous provisions in Alabama’s law
that are not directly at issue in the Arizona case. And there may be many good
reasons for making changes to those sections, such as making the law easier to
comply with and easier to enforce, without waiting for the Supreme Court to
decide the Arizona case. I fully support the Legislature in that regard.”
