The U.S. Supreme Court has refused to review a lawsuit challenging a Nebraska city’s ordinance that bans renting homes to illegal aliens -- a decision which could open the door to similar laws in many other cities.

As yefragetuwrabrumuy helpfully posted......the real zinger in the decision is that it nails illegals for “identity theft”, if they use a fake ID, and claim they are citizens. And “do so for gain”, the crime can’t just be brushed off.
This zinger most assuredly can impact:

Thanks
I remember that too. See post #8, these folks may have tried a more effective angle.
