I must confess that it is pretty exhilirating to see an idea of mine and something that I wrote, get passed into law.
Unfortunately, a judge threw our initiative out on a ridiculous legal challenge. However, it lives on in Hazleton, Pennsylvania.
Now, other cities like Avon Park in Florida, Sandwich, Massachusetts and Escondido, California look to be following suit.

Perhaps this could be the location for the next Geno's steaks.

How far we have fallen. To have to have a law to declare illegal aliens illegal, to have to have a law which declares marriage to be between a man and a woman. To jail our own soldiers for defending themselves in battle..... the list goes on....

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 onlyA journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step.....may this grow nationwide!

Total bull and totally unconstitutional. I'll rent to anyone I choose, without checking their passports. Here's to seeing this publicity stunt die a quick legal death.

What fantasyland do you live in where you think that you can rent to anyone you want?
Are you suggesting that any and all limits on who and how many people you can rent to is unconstitutional?

Barletta proposed the Illegal Immigration Relief Act last month as a response to what he said were Hazleton's problems with violent crime, crowded schools, hospital costs and the demand for services.We should all be happy to incur these costs if it means some libertarian slumlord can have a easier time renting his apartment.

Just curious. What do you find unconstitutional about this and are you referring to the Federal Constitution or the State Constitution?
To: SaveSanBernardino
The Chief Judge for the U.S. Discrit Court (East) is James T. Giles, a Carter Apointee, and for the West is Donetta W. Ambrose, a Clintoon apointee, so a court challenge probably would work.

Whoo Hoo!!!!! Way to go. It's about time people took matters into their own hands. Now if we could only get rid of activist judges and take back our country. I'd like to see THEM declared unConstitutional.
I'm not sure that this fits your ping lists but it sure is interesting.
