Alabama Senate passes bills to verify immigrant status and criminalize transporting undocumented individuals.

The Alabama Senate has passed three bills targeting illegal immigration, including measures to verify immigrant status using DNA and fingerprints, invalidate driver's licenses issued without proof of legal status, and criminalize the transport of undocumented individuals into Alabama. Sponsors argue these measures are necessary to secure the border and assist law enforcement, while critics claim they are inhumane and could lead to increased profiling. The bills now move to the House for further consideration.
