Judge makes hiring and housing illegals legal

[red states rule]

Once again, a liberal Judge has tossed out the votes of the people and allows illegals to go unchecked.

Now, businesses and housing can't discriminate against people who are in this country illegally.


Judge Blocks City's Ordinances Against Illegal Immigration

A federal judge issued a permanent injunction yesterday against restrictive anti-illegal-immigration ordinances in Hazleton, Pa., a city described by its mayor as "the toughest place on illegal immigrants in America."

In a strongly worded opinion handed down at the U.S. District Court in Scranton, Pa., Judge James M. Munley ruled that federal law "prohibits Hazleton from enforcing any of the provisions of its ordinances," which impose a $1,000-per-day fine on landlords who rent to illegal immigrants, revoke the business license of any employer who hires them, declare English as the official language and bar city employees from translating documents to another language without approval.

Civil liberties organizations sued on behalf of illegal and legal immigrant plaintiffs, including the Hazleton Hispanic Business Association, saying that the city infringed on the federal government's sole authority to regulate immigration.

The groups hailed the ruling as a historic victory for the city's Latino residents, as well as a warning to state and local governments that copied Hazleton's ordinances and to opponents of illegal immigration, who Anthony D. Romero, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union, said "dupe local officials into adopting bad public policy that won't stand up in court."

But the opponents vowed to appeal the decision and to continue the fight to the Supreme Court, if necessary. "Attorneys have already drafted appeal briefs," said Dan Stein, president of the Federation for American Immigration Reform. Seeking to severely restrict immigration, the group strongly supported Hazleton's ordinances.

In a statement, Hazleton Mayor Louis J. Barletta said: "This fight is far from over. I have said it many times before: Hazleton is not going to back down. We are discouraged to see a federal judge has decided -- wrongly, we believe -- that Hazleton and cities like it around the nation cannot enact legislation to protect their citizens, their services, and their budgets."

Hazleton made national headlines last year by passing some of the nation's strictest ordinances against illegal immigration, saying that illegal immigrants were draining city coffers but without producing evidence. About 100 similar measures were passed nationwide, some of which have been successfully challenged by immigration supporters, civil rights advocates said.

That's not to brite, if you shoot paintballs of any kind at them you will be in deep shit.

[waterrescuedude2000]

Only if I hit them. I can hit the ground around them and its not assault. I'd have to hit a person to get busted for assault.

Nope, theres always attempted.

[waterrescuedude2000]

Well it would almost be worth it.

[Spyder Jerusalem]

All illegals, when found, should be arrested and deported poste-haste.

Plus, we should make Mexico prosecute and jail them the same way as they do when they catch illegal Americans in their country.

Five years.

I can hit the ground around them and its not assault.

Pointing a gun at anyone is considered assault, even if you don't shoot.
Self-defense is the only extenuating circumstance.

If you would have read I said I'd launch paintballs at them. I didnt say how I could use a paintball gun or a slingshot

[Spyder Jerusalem]

A slingshot is just as bad, under the law.

Even throwing things is considered assault.

If you spit on someone, its assault.

Technically, throwing a wad of paper can be assault as well.




Oh, and paintballs are shot with a gun, therefore when you say "paintball" it implies the use of a gun.

[waterrescuedude2000]

#1) They should have no rights. Period end of story.
#2) You need to quit defending these illegals.
#3) After we deport them we should start issueing hunting licenses at the border states. It would stop illegals I guarantee it. it would also bring in revenue for the government. No bag limits. a new berlin wall. I bet they didnt have problems with illegals.

[Spyder Jerusalem]

I'll bet yer glad that the death penalty is forbidden in Federal Murder cases, eh psycho?

Someone like you, a murderous thug, deserves nothing more than a 6x9 for the rest of his sad, worthless, life.

Enjoy prison, punk!
And remember, snot makes great anal lube, so when you cry from the rapes, blow yer nose in yer hand and rub it on yer crack.
You'll thank me later.

[Yurt]

congress has plenary power over immigration, this judge is whacko. the mayor was simply following the law made by congress, if you are here without proper authorization, you are illegal. period.

funny how the libs on silent on this leftist judge tho.

OK first off. I am just stating a fact. It would stop illegals. I didnt say that it was necessarily the right way. I am saying that it would be the most effective. Anyways yes I think it is an important thing to secure our borders. I do believe terrorists come in that way also. OK lets do it the "right way".... Put up some of those predator unmanned planes and put in more agents and hope we catch them all??? And you wonder why we have groups like the minutemen and border rescue. Be humane to those cockroaches?????

[Spyder Jerusalem]

The first step to sociopathy is the mental dehumanization of other people.

No person is a "cockroach".

The attitude you suggest is both inhuman and unAmerican.
In this country, we believe in human rights, for everyone.
Even criminals.

Even foreigners.

Even illegal foreigners.

Your continual description of other people as being less than human, belies a fundamental deficiency in what little personal character you have.
