Chip in $14 to Hanu For Alabama if you’re a U.S. citizens or Green Card holder. The Alabama Republican Supermajority is working on a bill to ban naturalized citizens like me from holding public office, which is a violation of the 14th Amendment. Donate now.

SB21 bill would create second-class citizenship in Alabama. Natural born and naturalized are equal citizens. I’m running for Alabama State House, because no politician gets to rewrite that. Bigotry from the Secy. of State should make everyone angry.

Powerful op-ed by Homewood City Council member Carlos Enrique Alemán, a naturalized citizen. We must stop second-class citizenship and the caste system being pushed by Alabama’s Republican supermajority, which includes Parker Moore (R–HD4). I am running against Moore.

My op-ed in NRI Pulse just got published — and it calls out a truth many won’t say aloud: minority elites are helping authoritarianism take root in Alabama and beyond.

Let’s be real: If your family came here by choice, they were immigrants. They became Americans through naturalization. Alabama’s Supermajority Legislature wants to label today’s naturalized citizens as “less than.”
