(1) More advanced communication capabilities, broadband facilities, and services are needed

Section 31-13-2 Legislative findings. The State of Alabama finds that illegal immigration is
causing economic hardship and lawlessness in this state and that illegal immigration is encouraged
when public agencies within this state provide public benefits without verifying immigration
status. Because the costs incurred by school districts for the public elementary and secondary
education of children who are aliens not lawfully present in the United States can adversely
affect the availability of public education resources to students who are United States citizens
or are aliens lawfully present in the United States, the State of Alabama determines that
there is a compelling need for the State Board of Education to accurately measure and assess
the population of students who are aliens not lawfully present in the United States, in order
to forecast and plan for any impact that the presence such population may have on publicly
funded education in this state. The State of Alabama further...
