Birmingham City Council Unanimously Votes to Condemn Alabama's Immigration Law - Fox News Latino: "The Birmingham City Council unanimously approved Tuesday on a resolution that characterizes Alabama’s new immigration law as cruel and immoral.
The resolution asks that the law be repealed and urges political leaders to establish a special commission look for more compassionate ways to address illegal immigration.
Members of the nine-person council said the law, which Gov. Robert Bentley signed earlier this month and takes effect Sept. 1, could hurt the city's economy by scaring away business and reinforcing negative images of intolerance and bigotry linked to the state's old Jim Crow laws."

And sometimes I simply muse.
