BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WIAT) - In just over a week, Alabama's new immigration law will become reality and opposition to the law continues to spring up across the state. 

Wednesday, there will be a hearing for three lawsuits challenging the measure at the federal courthouse in Birmingham, but Monday, a group of teenagers decided to come together and speak out against House Bill 56, one of the nations toughest immigration bills.

They're hoping their voices and presence will be enough to stop the immigration bill and now, there's a lot of concerns that come with this new bill, one being racial profiling by local cops.

Law enforcement won't be the only ones affected by this immigration bill, school districts and employers will also have to make some tough calls.

The Alabama Law sort of came out of the blue, and there it was. It doesn't surprise me because I was driving those roads just a couple of years ago, and the Church Vans loaded with illegal aliens would be at the road side parks. I was never able to find out who the Vans belong to, and the folks driving were pretty hostile. The local teens are obviously Hispanic. Something to understand is that the 'Birthright Citizenship' will never hold up under Supreme Court examination. The Obama administration wants those birthright kids to have amnesty, and he is fighting hard to get it because he is afraid the Birthright Citizenship issue will wind up in the Supreme Court before he can apply his amnesty. Excellent places to find more information. http://www.cis.org http://www.fairus.org http://www.numbersusa.com For researchers... http://www.heritage.org/issues/immigration http://www.gao.gov/index.html http://www.gao.gov/search?q=immigration&Submit=Search http://www.gao.gov/search?search_type=Solr&o=0&facets=&q=Border+Security
