Hispanic students have started vanishing from Alabama public schools in the wake of a court ruling that upheld the state's tough new law cracking down on illegal immigration.

There are no precise statewide numbers. But several districts with large immigrant enrollments — from small towns to large urban districts — reported a sudden exodus of children from Hispanic families, some of whom told officials they would leave the state to avoid trouble with the law, which requires schools to check students' immigration status.

The anxiety has become so intense that the superintendent in one of the state's largest cities, Huntsville, went on a Spanish-language television show Thursday to try to calm worried parents.

"I met a Hispanic mother in the hallway at our community learning center this morning, where enrollment and withdrawal happens. She looked at me with tears in her eyes. I asked, 'Are you leaving?' She said 'Yes,' and hugged me, crying," said the worker, who spoke on condition of anonymity because she was not an authorized spokeswoman.

childen hostage to their racism must make the lawmakers feel proud.

3. Will this effect their economy in any way?? I would think so..When

the people in that state find out what it is like to be without gardener's,maids,and
any other shit jobs I wonder how they will like that...

4. Ha, when their crops rot in the fields because they can't find those hard working Americans

who are willing to stand in the heat bent over 9 hours a day. The GOP is so screwed. The base is too stupid to understand basic economics. They will lose the Hispanic vote for good with these kinds of tactics.

The Obama administration has called for a stay of the law. Anyone of color feels attacked by the GOP ( the racist party). People I know who were proud Republicans now call themselves Independents because they have a negative association with the GOP.

Keep up the hate fools, You can not win the Presidency ever without Hispanics and African Americans.

6. Yes, there are at least two sides to every issue. Some forget to look at all the sides.

7. They'll start howling once the $ they get from the feds decreases

because it's based on enrollment.
