EBLACLU
Could towns and cities be prevented from enacting laws on illegal immigration? The town of Hazleton, PA might be the first:
PHILADELPHIA (Reuters) – Civil rights campaigners sued the Pennsylvania town of Hazleton on Tuesday, seeking to block one of America’s toughest local laws against illegal immigrants.
The suit says Hazelton’s City Council violated the U.S. constitution when it passed a law denying business permits to companies that hire illegal aliens and fining landlords who rent homes to them.
And, as usual, the ACLU is at the helm of the lawsuit:
The suit was filed in federal court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania by groups including the Puerto Rican Legal Defense and Education Fund and the American Civil Liberties Union. They accuse Hazleton of overstepping its authority on the federal matter of immigration and say the law discriminates against immigrants.
Maybe the ACLU should change its name to the EBLACLU. The Everyone But Legal Americans Civil Liberties Union.
