Illegal Immigrant Ordinance Under Consideration

Altoona city council is expected to vote next month on a proposed ordinance to crack down on illegal immigrants.
City Mayor Wayne Hippo said the problem is growing in Pennsylvania, specifically Blair County.
Council wants to address it before the problems gets worse, and Hippo said the city's proposed ordinance is patterned after one in Hazelton, Pa.
"Any business that hires an illegal immigrant would have a license revoked," Hippo said. "Any landlord that rents would lose the rental inspection license and that's something unique to the city."
The proposed ordinance follows the arrest of illegal immigrant Miguel Padilla in the deaths of three men last month in Altoona.
