Local Enforcement Successes Draw Media Attention "After groups challenging state and local laws cracking down on illegal Comments
MAYOR LOU BARLETTA FOR CONGRESS!! Yes, he's running: http://www.loubarletta.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=55&Itemid=71 Glenn Beck said this: "I've been reading a lot, a ton on the founding fathers here recently and, you know, they were very, very clear. The federal government should be the weakest part of our government. The local government should be the strongest because the closer you get to the people, the more it is in connection with the people and its will, and the people are speaking. That's why you're seeing communities like yours all the way across the country starting to step in and saying, okay, you know what; the government's not going to do it; we will." Thank you Mayor Barletta, Lou Dobbs and FAIR for striking the match at the local levels and igniting victories against this brainless open borders overpopulation of America. Posted by: Softwarengineer on February 11, 2008 11:49 AM Well, well. More honesty from the open borders lobby. They worry that this type of local law will create "a checkerboard of conflicting laws". How right you are. And with 'enforcement' communities and 'sanctuary' communities sitting side by side, the TRUTH about what illegal aliens 'contribute' and what they really cost will come glaring through. This is what the open borders crowd fear the most. Posted by: Bill Dexter on February 11, 2008 11:53 AM MAYBE FINALLY SOMEONE IS ON THE SIDE OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE FOR ONCE! DUE PROCESS FOR ILLEGAL ALIENS, ARE YOU KIDDING ME! THEY`RE ILLEGAL, THEY SHOULDN`T EVEN BE ENTITLED TO DUE PROCESS.

immigration won a series of high-profile legal victories last year, the tide has shifted as federal judges recently handed down several equally significant decisions upholding those laws. On Thursday, a federal judge in Arizona ruled against a lawsuit by construction contractors and immigrant organizations who sought to halt a state law that went into effect on Jan. 1 imposing severe penalties on employers who knowingly hire illegal immigrants. The judge, Neil V. Wake of Federal District Court, methodically rejected all of the contractors’ arguments that the Arizona law invaded legal territory belonging exclusively to the federal government," the New York Times writes. "These rulings were a sharp change of tack from a decision in July by a federal judge in Pennsylvania who struck down ordinances adopted by the City of Hazleton barring local employers from hiring illegal immigrants and local landlords from renting to them. In that case, the judge, James M. Munley of Federal District Court, found that the Hazleton laws not only interfered with federal law, but also violated the due process rights of employers and landlords, and illegal immigrants as well."
