The course will cover illegal aliens in Alabama, work permits, residency, and waivers of extreme hardship. Immigration law is a Federal law; however, in 2011, Alabama passed a law to arrest foreign nationals working without a permit. The law requires all employers to require work permits and the I-9 form from employees. Employers must E-Verify the employee’s Social Security  card. Immigrants do have due process rights under the 4th and 14th amendments of the U. S. Constitution.
