Memo to Alabama Lawmakers: Think First

Lawmakers in Alabama — succumbing to Tea Party crazies — passed a very strict anti-immigration law earlier this year. I’ve read a few snippets over the last few months about how the agriculture industry was finding it hard to find workers but now it looks like the problem is full-blown:
An Alabama law to tackle illegal immigration is coming under fire from some business leaders in the state, who say the measure is undermining Alabama’s economy even before it takes effect.
Representatives of agribusiness, the state’s biggest industry, and sectors such as construction, which is charged with rebuilding the tornado-hit city of Tuscaloosa, are reporting worker shortages because of immigrants already fleeing the state. The state agriculture commission says squash, tomatoes and other produce are rotting in the fields.
Hahahahahahahaha.
This is what happens when “our leaders” go off half-cocked, powered by hate, and they don’t think through what they’re doing.
Good luck Alabama. Ya’ll deserve everything you get, or don’t get, as the case may be.
