So Long Alabama

So Long Alabama
Federal courts have blocked parts of the Republican-backed law from taking effect,
but both supporters and critics still call it the nation's toughest state law against illegal immigration.
Illegal immigrants are boycotting Alabama by the thousands,

showing their outrage with Alabama’s controversial new HB-56 law by moving elsewhere.

In the small town of Hoover , AL, south of Birmingham ,

Manuel Renaldo is one of those who is punishing Alabama by leaving.

As he loaded his car with his belongings and family of ten,

Renaldo told a reporter through an interpreter,

"It's a matter of principle;

I refuse to be supported by a state that treats me like a criminal!"



The effects of the exodus are being felt by Alabama retailers, who are reporting dwindling sales of beer, spray paint, and ammunition.

Also hit hard are the states hospitals, which have reported a dramatic decline in unreimbursed births and emergency room visits.

Tattoo parlors are in a state of panic.

Renaldo told a reporter through an interpreter that he and his family

are "moving toCalifornia,

a Democratic State that will support him and his family with dignity!"

Kind of brings a tear to your eye, doesn't it!.
