Allentown City Council rejects immigration bill – Pennsylvania
Tagged: Pennsylvania, policePosted on: January 18th, 2007“After two agonizing hours of public comment Wednesday, Allentown City Council shot down Councilman Lou Hershmans proposal to fight illegal immigration, forcing supporters to try collecting the signatures of 2,000 city voters to put it on the ballot.
Hershman wanted to order the city Police Department to train officers in immigration law and to sign an agreement with the federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement to ramp up its local enforcement activities.”
