"The cost-benefit analysis by University of Alabama economist Samuel Addy estimated up to 80,000 jobs were vacated by illegal immigrants fleeing the crackdown, costing Alabama's economy up to $10.8 billion."

Wha-wha-What?
But they assured me when we cleaned up those illegal beggars, that jesus would bless us with prosperity. What happened? Sure, our unemployment rate went down a whole percentage point.
I mean we kicked their sorry illegal asses clean out of the state, tore families apart, killed whole communities. But what does that matter, we've got the lord on our side.
One such community, where i have acquiantances, is Albertville. It is a very old town that had pretty much dried up until the mexicans moved in and opened restaurants and landscaping, etc... And it worked. The system worked when left alone, everyone was happy. Except for the angry teabaggers. It absolutely drove them ape-shit crazy when they drove through town and saw all the prosperous mexican businesses.
the smart people in alabama (which is not the majority) are very opposed to the law, both in letter and in spirit.
It makes me laugh that Alabama's teabag majority is going to suffer monetarily for their stupidity.
