State legislatures have been rapidly passing immigration enforcement laws, aiming to make life difficult for undocumented immigrants. Alabama's H.B. 56 is considered one of the toughest laws, restricting access to public education for undocumented students. The Supreme Court struck down parts of Arizona's similar law, but upheld provisions that may inspire other states to follow suit. The Obama Administration has also increased immigration enforcement efforts. Alabama's involvement in immigration enforcement raises civil rights concerns for immigrants and U.S. citizens.
