Immigration Crackdown: New Alabama immigration law has some immigrants already preparing to move

Stories of some of the people being affected by the crackdown in Alabama.

New Alabama immigration law has some immigrants already preparing to move | al.com: "Most parts of Alabama's immigration law won't take effect until Sept. 1 at the earliest, yet many people already are reacting to it.

Some unauthorized immigrants have moved from Alabama.
Many are trying to sell sofas, refrigerators and other items to raise money in case the law does survive a federal court challenge and they need to move home or to states without such a law.

Many immigrant parents also are arranging for trusted people to have power of attorney, so that if they are detained under the law, someone will have authority to take care of their kids."
