Illegal Aliens Banned - Pennsylvania Town Enforces Illegal Immigration Relief Act

The Hazelton Pennsylvania City Council passed a law on July 13, 2006 making it illegal for undocumented immigrants (illegal aliens) to rent property or work in this northeastern Pennsylvania town.

After much heated debate by opponents the final vote came in at 4 to 1. Opponents argued insensibly that it was possibly illegal to pass the law. Supporters argued that illegal immigrants' growing numbers have damaged the quality of life.

Mayor Lou Barletta told the packed council chambers that, "we must draw the line, and we are doing it now". Barletta initially proposed the Illegal Immigration Relief Act as a response to what he said were Hazleton's problems with violent crime, crowded schools, hospital costs and the demand for services.

The ordinance would deny licenses to businesses that employ illegal immigrants, fine landlords $1,000 for each illegal immigrant discovered renting their properties, and require city documents to be in English only.
