I went to my county court house today to pay my property taxes and stopped by a couple of offices to say "hello" to some old friends. I noticed signs posted on EVERY door (except restrooms) that let the illegals know they weren't welcome. Immigration laws were recently passed in Alabama, and enforcement started immediately. The signs read, "If you are an immigrant, you must be legal in order to receive service. You are required to provide documents proving your immigration status, current residential address, birth certificate, drivers license, social security number, green card, and proof of insurance, in order to purchase a car tag or mobile home tax sticker. You are forbidden from doing business in any name other than your own."

I guess that's called 'taking up the welcome mat' because I didn't see even one Mexican in the whole city.
