A controversial ordinance on illegal immigration in Allentown has been shot down. A city council committee recommended that council not put the referendum on the May ballot.
It called for city police officers to be trained to act as immigration officers. Some members of council have said it's a waste of resources. Julio Guridy says there's no statistical information that supports the theory that illegal immigrants are causing problems in the city.
