Legal challenge in San Bernardino, Calif., means Hazleton could be first to adopt law

Tagged:

“A model that Hazleton Mayor Louis Barletta chose for an anti-immigration ordinance faces a legal challenge before it can reach voters in San Bernardino, Calif. The legal delay in San Bernardino means Hazleton might be the first city in the nation to adopt penalties against landlords that rent to illegal immigrants or businesses that hire them.

“We’re hoping we would be lighting one candle in a dark room. If this is duplicated by other cities in the nation, it would have a real impact on businesses who might think of hiring illegal immigrants,” said Barletta, whose proposed ordinance also makes English the official language of Hazleton government.”
