The fleeing began the same day the Immigration Laws in Alabama were passed. Parents withdrew students from schools and farm workers left their jobs. As a result farmers, who were dependant on undocument immigrants to work on their crops and land, are closing up and absenty rates are increasing in schools. According to the Alabama's Attorney General, "illegal immigrants" are the reason why Alabama is lacking jobs, they are only part of 4% percent of their workforce. Using the excuse that 182 inmates are now held by ICE, yet the inmate rate in Alabama is 31,000. Apparently the numbers do not matter in Alabama...
