ALABAMA GOVERNOR THREATENED OVER IMMIGRATION CRACKDOWN
Tiffany R. Morales, 38, was arrested Oct. 1 and charged with threatening certain state officers, including Alabama Governor Robert Bentley. Morales, whose fiancé is an illegal immigrant, called Gov. Bentley’s office on Sept. 29 and told one of his staff to “Tell the governor he has a bullet with his name on it.” If convicted, Morales could spend up to five years in jail. Her lawyers are arguing that she has medical problems and a nervous condition and shouldn’t be considered a threat.

Duncan Hunter and Bob Filner will take a bipartisan stand at the border to voice their concerns that the program will put safety and American jobs at risk.
