Mayor says city won’t give up

HAZLETON – Plaintiffs in a landmark illegal immigration case that began in Hazleton four years ago expressed feelings of vindication and hope after a decision came down Thursday from an appeals court upholding a ruling that Hazleton’s Illegal Immigration Relief Act is unconstitutional.

“Justice has been done,â€

If enacted, Hazleton’s law would have fined landlords who knowingly housed illegal immigrants and revoked the business licenses of employers who knowingly hired them.

My question is this: How will they be able to prove it? Won't they just say "I didn't know"?

I live in an association and have neighbors who frequently say that after being busted. They always get away with it.

By the way, please don't get me wrong. I like what little I know of this law. Without forcing employers to use e-Verify and landlords from background checks, they’ll always have the excuse.
