Supreme Court to Hear City's Immigration Case (illegal aliens, laws, employment)

[Benicar]

The Nebraska Supreme Court will hear arguments in a case stemming from Fremont's proposed illegal-immigration ordinance.

The city is appealing an April ruling from a Dodge County district judge. It concluded the city must hold an election on a proposal to ban renting to and hiring illegal immigrations in the city.

City leaders argue the proposal is unconstitutional and could expose the city to costly legal challenges. But Judge John Samson said the matter was out of his hands until voters approved the measure.

I’m sure they meant “immigrants.”

How can the bill be unconstitutional when our federal laws prohibit the employment of illegal aliens? Why is this even an issue?

Ask the misguided Lib fools and greedy employers.

It is already illegal to hire illegal aliens, so that part is within the law.
If litigated right, so would renting to an illegal, or harboring an illegal. As it is... illegal to do so.
