ALBERTVILLE, AL (WAFF)- The American Civil Liberties Union wants to know how the city of Albertville plans to deal with illegal immigration.
In a letter to members of the city council, the ACLU requested information relating to the immigration resolutions and the hiring of prominent illegal immigration attorney Kris Kobach, who recently visited the city.
Albertville Mayor Lindsey Lyons said the request will be done, but he feels it's a waste of taxpayer dollars and a city employee's time.
"I laugh at these people. I'll be honest with you. As far as I'm concerned, you can put a "U" in front of the "A", Unamerican Civil Liberties Union. I think they ought to devote their efforts to real world problems," said Mayor Lyons.
ACLU officials said they're looking to see if there are any violations of citizen's rights.
