Plaintiffs Want City Of Hazleton To Pay Legal Fees

(AP) ALLENTOWN Plaintiffs who successfully sued to overturn Hazleton's illegal immigrant law want the city to pay millions of dollars in legal fees.

U.S. District Judge James Munley struck down the Illegal Immigration Relief Act in July, ruling it unconstitutional.

Hazleton is appealing the ruling. Lawyers representing the plaintiffs asked Munley Friday to award them more than two million dollars in fees and another $45,000 in related costs.

Hazleton Mayor Lou Barletta calls the request absurd and says the city will fight it. Barletta has raised $400,000 for the city's legal defense fund, of which about $150,000 has been spent.

So, they've decided to pull out Plan B......bankrupt your enemy so they can no longer fight you.

Sounds like the other side is pretty sure they're going to lose in the long run if they're stooping to these assnine tactics.

These are pure intimidation tactics by the open border/ethnic pressure groups -- trying to send a message to other locales not to stick up for their communities. All the more reason why we must support Hazleton and help them fight this madness.
