No State Or Developed Nation Has An Alabama-Style Ban On Contracting With Immigrants | Alabama has the most extreme immigration law among developed nations, according to immigration and human rights groups, because no other state or developed country has banned courts from enforcing contracts with undocumented immigrants. “We don’t know of a similar parallel, either internationally or elsewhere in the United States, where contracts with unauthorized immigrants are deemed unenforceable,” said Michelle Mittelstadt, communications director for the Migration Policy Institute. An Alabama judge found the contracts provision of Alabama’s anti-immigrant law to be unconstitutional, but the section has not been blocked by a federal judge.
