The house fits the Immigration Act

The House of Representatives of Alabama passed an immigration law that concluded the crime of the human smuggling that would be a crime of class C.

Senate Bill 53 defined the crime as “one person commits the crime of human smuggling when they knowingly transported to this state when he or she knows that it is an illegal foreigner.”

Exceptions were included in the legislative template for the crime of human smuggling.

  • Every educator or other employee of an educational company to transport a student as part of an official educational trip
  • Every health service provider to transport or treat a patient
  • So that a person has transported a person for non -commercial religious or charitable purposes
  • So that a person has transported a person to or from a place for state purposes

SB53 would also outline the process that the local law enforcement authorities should follow in order to determine whether someone is illegal in custody in the United States.

“We are already making the main part of the law, namely prison administrators determine their immigration status based on the papers they have. If you are an illegal immigrant, we already notify ice.

Robbins took the bill in the house.

SB53 was changed in the house. The Senate must agree to these changes before sending the draft law to governor Kay Ivey.

The Alabama coalition for immigrant justice campaigned against several immigration calculations in this meeting, including SB53.

“People who have lived in Alabama for decades and have grown up are now facing the imminent threat from deportation and family separation. Said Allison Hamilton, Managing Director of the Alabama Coalition for Migrant Justice.

“This bill is unfairly aimed at immigrant communities, increases the risk of racist profiling, is overly punishable and unnecessarily cruel. I really live near the border between Georgia and not everyone in my family is documented. I cannot believe that it is illegal for me that I have half of the state. Better.” said Jordan Stallworth, coordinator for civil commitment to the Alabama Coalition for Immigrants.

The house also approved SB63. The legislation would request the law enforcement authorities in Alabama to collect DNA and fingerprints from one person in custody that is illegal in the country before the agency releases the person.

Fingerprints must be presented to the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency for cataloging. The DNA must be forwarded to the department for forensic sciences in Alabama to analyze and enter the corresponding database.

The house has not made any changes to SB63. The governor must sign the legislation before becoming the law.
