Among the many disgraceful, unconstitutional laws passed recently, Alabama's takes the cake:

The Alabama law would force schools to ascertain if their students were here legally, make it a crime to knowingly give an illegal immigrant a ride - even to a hospital in an emergency - and provide for individuals to report people they think might be in the county illegally to law enforcement agencies.

That's right. If you're in Alabama, and an illegal immigrant has a heart attack next to you, it's against the law to be a decent human being and give him a lift to the hospital.

We fully expect this law to be overturned sooner rather than later, but the fact that such a law was passed says terrible things about the GOP's priorities.
