Town hall meeting at Glen Iris Elementary School in Birmingham, Ala.


In this Thursday, Oct. 13, 2011 photo, people listen to others voice their concerns about the Alabama HB56 law at a town hall meeting at Glen Iris Elementary School in Birmingham, Ala. In a blow to Alabama's strict immigration law, the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Friday, Oct. 14, 2011 that public schools must stop checking the immigration status of students and said police can’t charge immigrants who are unable to prove their citizenship.
