WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The Justice Department sent a letter to the Alabama's attorney general Friday asserting that federal civil rights lawyers have the authority to investigate Alabama schools for discrimination based on immigration status -- and will continue to do so.
State Attorney General Luther Strange had questioned the department's authority to demand extensive records on school enrollment and attendance in the current school year following passage of a state law designed to curb illegal immigration.
The law -- enacted last spring -- includes a mandate for public schools to inquire about the immigration status of students, among other things. A U.S. appeals court granted a Justice Department request for an emergency injunction for that portion of the law, but allowed other controversial sections to be enforced.
Friday's letter from Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Thomas Perez responded directly to a letter Strange sent Wednesday demanding to know the Justice Department's legal basis for its requests of 39 school districts. In response, Perez noted his department had received multiple complaints from Alabama and cited three federal statutes, including the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
Perez, the administration's top civil rights official, pointedly asked Strange why he was involving himself in the issue at all.
"It is our understanding that you do not represent the school districts that we have contacted. Please let us know if that understanding is correct so that we may proceed accordingly," Perez said. "As we receive additional information, the Civil Rights Division and other Federal agencies will be evaluating the potential for violation of federal laws in Alabama, including civil rights laws."
Alabama has been told to provide the Justice Department's requested data by November 14.
Alabama officials, however, received a strong show of support Friday on Capitol Hill, where three leading southern senators announced their intention to introduce legislation barring the Obama administration from participating in lawsuits over new immigration laws in Arizona, Alabama, and South Carolina.
The Justice Department has sued all three states, and is considering similar action against Utah, Indiana, and Georgia.
Sens. Jim DeMint, R-South Carolina, Jeff Sessions, R-Alabama, and David Vitter, R-Louisiana, said they would attempt to block funding for the lawsuits.
"We're working to stop these politically driven lawsuits by cutting off the ability for the Obama administration to use taxpayers' money to pay for them," Vitter said.
DeMint called it "absurd" for an administration "which has failed to enforce the nation's immigration laws" to try to stop South Carolina, Alabama, and Arizona "from taking commonsense steps to protect citizens and uphold the law."
Bronco Buster said:I know I will get flamed for this but oh well. The Illegals are not the only ones that send money home most of the legals do also. As far as supporting them we really aren't the only taxes they don't pay are income taxes. Most of them would qualify for earned income credit and get back more than they pay in anyway. Figure an extra $4500 we would have to pay for all of those none tax paying illegals we have. :****:
That being said I do personally believe that they should get legal but I also think it should be easier to do so. I work with a man that is a naturalized citizen and has been trying to get his wife here legally for 5 years.

Dwalk said:I dont think we should worry about the Immigrants right now, That money robbing Bastard in the White House has **** away more money than the Illegals has ever costed the US much less this shithole Alabama. 500 Million dollars to a FAILING company, just so the ****TARDS can file bankruptsy. THAT IS WHERE THE MAJORITY OF THE TAX MONEY YOU GUYS ARE BITCHING ABOUT IS GOING.
And what about these people who claim BULLSHIT on their taxes so they can get more refund that they DO NOT deserve, like farms, 2nd homes etc....... knowing they don't have the ****ing common sense to raise a chicken. These people are no better than the Illegals.
just a reminder, think about how illegal the rag head at your favorite gas station is when you spend your hard earned money, guess where that money is going?
