Immigration Problems Hit a Federal Fence
If you've been here long enough, you've heard of the town out east that decided to use local government to fight the illegal immigration problem. Just a quick note on the repercussions of what happened recently there.
A Federal Judge named James Munley has overturned the right of local government to enforce any - any of the provisions of their ordinances. This is for Hazleton, Pennsylvania. There, the mayor proclaimed he'd make it tough on illegal immigrants.
Indeed, there were $1000 a day fines to landlords who rented to illegal aliens and to businesses that hire illegals? - Well, their license would be revoked. Documents had to be in English and translation into other languages would have to be approved.
So where is this going?
In our opinion the Federal Judge is wrong. Local government should have the right to protect itself from encroaching illegal immigrants - UNTIL the Federal Government is doing their job of enforcing the law already on the books.
This will naturally further the division between people pro illegal immigration. This will begin more appeals and fights to stop the freedoms illegals have.
What is the next step?
The next step will be local authorities going to court over the matter v.s. the Federal Government. Next, the Supreme Court. At that point, Congress will likely have to put teeth into the laws already on the books here in the United States.
Recent changes in fees for Green Card filing and immigrant visas were put in place to create a fund for upholding the law against illegal immigration in this country. The fight in the court will further the government to take a stronger stand at our borders.
