Yeah! In Ala, perhaps they can have separate drinking fountains & theater entrances, for those people that don't look 'merican....
Oh stop with the race card pulling! How is an American supposed to look since we already have every race/ethnic group and whose ancestors were not from here that are citizens of this country? There are no separate drinking fountains or other government sponsored public discriminations against anyone anymore. Are you still living in 1950's Selma, Alabama?
This is about being in our country illegally. Nothing more and nothing less.

I guess the State of Ala will have to train it's Teacher in how to be ICE agents, not to mention, make the time available in the schools to exercise that new found job duty.
Florida.Bob, surely you are old enough to remember segregation in the south. There is really no comparison here..
I remember it well. People should direct their anger on illegal immigration towards those with the responsibility to deal with it. Your US Congress person and you US Senators. States should not take Federal Law into their own hands.
I recognize that some of the reaction of states to the illegal immigration problem is giving rise to memories of previous bad times that occurred, all over the USA.
But I do not believe people will go back to those times, we have come too far. People are reacting to the demands made by people who have entered this country illegally, the economic times, the complicity of our government to what a lot of people percieve as an invasion of America by a foreign country. They are just trying to put some sanity back into their lives, their way of life. The amount of illegals in this country is overwhelming and too much to deal with....I am sick of the race card being dragged out when anyone protests the unmitigated arrogance of the people who entered this country illegally and are now demanding that we feed, clothe, educate, provide medical service and allow them to dictate who is our next VP. Bah ! As I say again, I am sick of it. !
What about their violent gangs that are proliferating in this country, over the world ? We had/have enough gangs of our own without the Mexican, Central American and whatever other gangs that have arisen, supposedly, because we cannot provide for everyone coming here so, they become gang members...... doesn't/hasn't anyone watched Gangland on the History Channel Gangland — About the Series — History.com ? A real eyeopener......should be mandatory viewing for anyone over 21.
