It's about time someone noticed that illegal aliens aren't just "undocumented". That's when my son forgets to bring his homework to school. They are breaking the law. And breaking the law has consequences.
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.
Attorney Kris Kobach, who defended the Fremont, NE ordinance, said the Court’s decision gives a “bright green light” for other cities within the 8th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals that want to adopt such laws. The circuit includes Arkansas, Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, and the Dakotas.
“Today we achieved final victory on behalf of the citizens of Fremont, Nebraska,” said Kobach. “The ordinance…to stop employing and renting to illegal aliens was approved last year. Our victory in Court is complete. The ACLU has been defeated.”
The challenge was brought by the ACLU and Mexican American Legal Defense Fund (MALDEF).
The Fremont ordinance requires renters to get a $5 permit and swear that they have legal permission to live in the United States. The high court on Monday let stand an appeals court ruling that found the ordinance doesn’t discriminate against Latinos or interfere with federal immigration laws.
The number of Hispanics — mostly here illegally — has more than tripled in Fremont in just ten years, according to 2010 data. The resulting strain on social services mirrors damaging effects of illegal immigration across the country. In California, for example over 60 hospitals have closed in the past 10 years as a result of unpaid medical bills from illegal aliens.
I agree and its why I say, this entire country and our government is criminal, or are criminals....we feel we're above the laws, and if you don't believe me, drive the speed limit, or watch how many people are talking on their phones or texting while driving....
it is pathetic....if you clean up crime everything else will clean it self up....
I remember one election years ago, when people started letting go of the slogan when voting, "character matters!" It should but it doesn't any longer....
Illegals are not just Mexicans, but EVERYONE in this country who are not citizens. Yes, Mexicans are a big part of the problem...what really really bothers me, is, you go to any other country and live there illegally, and give them the finger, and I bet you'll be in prison, but quick, and believe you me, those prisons are horrible places to go, no TV's, no college educations, just deep dark cold and damp caves....as it should be...if your a criminal you don't deserve to live a good life.
Our prisons are so plush in the fall around here, people living on the streets commit crimes just to go to prision for the winter months. A disgrace.
Yanno, both the dems and repubs are responsible for this, truly...but Herman Caine wanted to take a stand against this....but they sabotaged him b/c of it....the illegals are they're votes....and what is even more pathetic,is the fact that they "CAN VOTE", how utterly pathetic?????
I don't remember what President it was who announced that America was going to round up all the illegals, and deport them, fining them, or something and they all went home? Does anyone know who I'm speaking of?
A renter must get a permit to rent? That is just a stupid idea.
