It's called the law of uni...My point exactly. <br /><br />It's called the law of unintended consequences: Everybody in Alabama had a very specific type of person in mind when they voted in that draconian law, and failed to think that perhaps there were other people who would get caught in this check-every-foreigner "net" of theirs. <br /><br />Hmm... Perhaps the arresting officer is a secret/stealth liberal just trying to illustrate the "whoopsie" factor inherent in such a law. <br /><br />I'll bet that is what it was.<br /><br />Simply put: The officer made the arrest <i>exactly</i> as the law required. If the governor feels compelled to apologize for (and ignore the charges associated with) even a fraction of all the people upon whom the law is enforced, then it is a bullshit law, plain and simple. <br /><br />Either Alabama should enforce it as required, deal with the consequences, and hand out the fines to all foreigners charged under that law... or admit that it is a fucked up law based on xenophobia and racism and repeal it.<br /><br />Either all people in Alabama (all foreigners especially) are responsible for following the law as written and are required to carry proof that they are in the country legally at all times... and should be able to prove it to a police officer at a moment's notice... or else go to jail... or Alabama should just forget the whole thing. I'm fine either way, but giving apologies to certain foreigners who break the law because the law was enforced upon them? Sounds like somebody with a guilty conscience to me.Jil Wrinklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08289612869693691661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1943735266880000142.post-15674817709613032912011-11-26T23:37:59.720-05:002011-11-26T23:37:59.720-05:00When you are responsible for more than 10,000 dire...When you are responsible for more than 10,000 direct and indirect jobs in the region, and has an annual economic impact of more than 1.5 billion dollars.
