Alabama Immigration Law Also Makes It Illegal For Many Undocumented Immigrants To Live In Their Own Home | Not only is it now a felony in Alabama for undocumented immigrants to have water in their homes, but the immigration law is pushing out undocumented immigrants who own mobile homes. Because the law makes it a Class C felony for an undocumented immigrant to do business with the state, mobile home owners who are undocumented would not be able to pay to renew their registration decals needed to rent a lot in a mobile home park or pay for the property tax decals for their mobile home. Instead, families will have to sell their home, haul it out of state, or risk not paying for the decals. This is the latest example of how the the extreme immigration law is damaging the state’s economy. Along with farmers losing their crops because they do not have enough workers, now people who own mobile home parks could lose tenants and local business customers and workers who are leaving their homes.
