Bridgeport will use an ordinance passed in Hazleton last month as a potential model.

“Is little Bridgeport filling up with illegal immigrants? Local officials don’t know. But they intend to find out, and maybe ban them from living or working in the Montgomery County borough.

Four local council members plan to meet next week to explore whether Bridgeport will follow Riverside, N.J., and Hazleton, Pa., which have passed such laws.

Only 168 of Bridgeport’s 4,300 people identified themselves as Hispanic in the 2000 census, and Councilwoman Juanita Coover said she believed most of Bridgeport’s Hispanic immigrants were here legally.”
