Two N.C. Towns Among Those Weighing English-Only Rules

POSTED: 10:48 am EDT August 23, 2006

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- A pair of North Carolina towns are weighing whether to join dozens of cities across the country proposing to make English the official language.
Mint Hill, in Mecklenburg County, and Landis, a town in Rowan County, are reviewing making clear that English is the dominant language.
Mint Hill's proposal also would punish businesses that employ, rent to or provide goods and social services to illegal immigrants.
A proposal in Landis would require that all written or spoken government business must be in English -- even if it means people bring their own interpreter.
Municipalities across the country are moving at a time they feel Washington is doing too little to address illegal immigration.
Most cities are modeling their immigration ordinances after the one approved last month in Hazelton, Pennsylvania, which now faces a federal lawsuit. Hazelton's ordinance would fine landlords a thousand dollars a day and revoke business licenses among other things.


NC IS FINALLY SEEING THE LIGHT
YES! YES! YES!

I live in Mint Hill and just sent them a letter. The e mail address is:

minthill@minthill.com

Please write and tell them you're behind them 100% in their attempt to enforce immigration laws.

Hopefully they will clean out the kitchen of Showmars restaurant in Mint Hill while they're at it!!!!

Done! My email just went out supporting the ordinance.

Wrote to them praising them for doing the job our government won't do.

Thank you !!
