Alabama immigration law called nation’s ‘meanest’

A new Alabama law that makes it a crime to offer rides to
undocumented immigrants is the "meanest" immigration law in the country,
according to a United Methodist bishop and respected theologian.

Bishop
William Willimon of the North Alabama Conference called the bill, which
was recently signed into law by Gov. Robert Bentley, an embarrassment
and motivated by "intimidation and meanness."

Willimon and the
state's other United Methodist bishop, Paul Leeland, wrote an open
letter to Bentley and lawmakers who pushed the law. "There's a lot of
frustration out there, disappointment, embarrassment," Willimon said.
"We will come together and pray."
