Alabama Catholic Bishops Urge GOP Gov. Bentley To Repeal Or Revise State’s ‘Unjust And Unfair’ Immigration Law | Alabama Catholic bishops Thomas Rodi and Robert Baker joined several Christian leaders in urging Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley (R) to repeal or greatly revise the state’s radical anti-immigration law. “We pray that you and the other leaders of our State will work together to make much-needed revisions to an unjust and unfair law,” the religious leaders said in a letter.” Alabama does not need to return to a time when laws were used to vent hate for others and to justify mistreating people,” Archbishop Thomas Rodi and Bishop Robert Baker wrote in a letter with the other leaders.” Bentley’s spokesman replied that the state “needs an effective illegal immigration law” but that he “recognizes that changes are needed to ensure that Alabama has not only the nation’s most effective law, but one that is fair and just…and can be enforced effectively and without prejudice.”
