As the nation continues to debate immigration policy, the U.S. Supreme Court has struck down portions of a controversial Arizona immigration law, while upholding the so-called "show me your papers" provision.

Last year Four Alabama bishops from three denominations filed a lawsuit challenging the law, saying it would render their ministries to immigrants illegal.
