Alabama Immigration Law

Religious leaders have joined civil rights activists, the Justice Department, students, and others in challenging Alabama's tough new immigration law. "The government is trying to tell us what we can or can't do in terms of works of mercy, works of charity, which are fundamental to our faith," says Father Tom Ackerman of the Catholic Diocese of Birmingham.
