Pennsylvania Town Takes on ACLU
September 09, 2006 04:02 PM EST
By Sher Zieve – The city of Hazleton, PA is purposefully taking on the ACLU and the illegal immigrant battle. Although most cities have recently caved to the ACLU, when it threatens a lawsuit against them for any number of perceived violations, Hazleton Mayor Louis Barletta says his city will not and has hired the former head of immigration in the Department of Justice as the city’s defense counsel.
The ACLU and a Puerto Rican group have filed a federal lawsuit against Hazleton for “unconstitutionally seeking to enforce immigration laws.” Canyon News reports that the ACLU filed suit after it disputed Hazleton’s passing local ordinances that fine landlords for knowingly renting to illegal aliens. Canyon News further reports: “It [Hazleton] also decided to deny licenses to local businesses which knowingly hire such aliens. Lastly, it declared that English would be the official language of the town.”
Other towns are said to have been observing Hazleton’s moves and have, subsequently, passed similar ordinances. It is speculated that a grass roots movement of US citizens may be in the offing.
The Hazleton case may eventually reach the US Supreme Court.Support our FIGHT AGAINST illegal immigration & Amnesty by joining our E-mail Alerts at http://eepurl.com/cktGTn
