BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – A Japanese man temporarily working at Honda’s car factory in east Alabama became the second foreign auto worker charged under the state’s law on illegal immigration, the company said Wednesday.
The employee at Honda Manufacturing of Alabama in Talladega County received a ticket but wasn’t taken into custody, unlike a Mercedes-Benz manager who was previously arrested in Tuscaloosa, Ala.
Yet Republican lawmakers in Alabama cast doubt on whether the citation was actually made under the immigration law, saying it did not seem to match the law’s requirements.
