The grim reality of life under Alabama’s brutal immigration law
Even families legally entitled to be in the country are being caught. Cineo Gonzalez was shocked a few weeks ago when his six-year-old daughter came home from school carrying a printout. It gave details of HB56 and its implications, under the heading: “Frequent questions about the immigration law.”
Gonzalez is a US permanent resident, having come from Mexico more than 20 years ago. His daughter is an American citizen, having been born in Alabama. Both are entirely legal. Yet she was one of only two children in her class – both Hispanic in appearance – who were given the printout.
Why was she singled out, Gonzalez asked the deputy head teacher. “Because we gave the printout to children we thought were not from here,” came the reply.
Reminiscent of Nazi Germany.

Empty belly life!
Rotten smelly life!
Full of sorrow life!
No tomorrow life!This has been the perfect song to listen to while cleaning since I was 4 years old & would play the album on my Fisher Price record player.
