A father and son who own two large Lexington apartment complexes have been ordered to appear in U.S. District Court Friday to answer charges that they rented to at least 60 illegal immigrants and hired two without documentation to work for them.
Advocates for immigrants said they fear the case could have a "chilling effect" on other landlords, leaving immigrants with few options for places to live. The case is the "local manifestation of a national policy shift" on the part of Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials to target landlords, employers, and other people who knowingly harbor illegal immigrants, according to Newton.
Good! If it means punishing those 'do-gooders' as well as the illegals-------I am all for it!
I always thought of Kentucky being a poor state and very back woods. Never figured it would be a magnet state for illegal immigrants.
