Hearing set on immigration ordinance

01/04/2007

A judge has set aside March 1 and 2 to hear testimony and arguments over the validity of the ordinance in Valley Park intended to fight illegal immigrants. St. Louis County Circuit Judge Barbara Wallace left in effect Wednesday her temporary order barring the city from enforcing the ordinance.

The ordinance declares English to be the official language of the city and says landlords could face a $500 fine for renting to illegal immigrants. And businesses that hire illegal immigrants could be denied business permits and city contracts.
