Missouri mayor vows to continue to rid town of illegal immigrants - Valley Park

“A suburban St. Louis mayor said he will continue efforts to rid the city of illegal immigrants despite rising legal costs and opposition from other city officials.

Valley Park’s Board of Aldermen voted earlier this month to stop enforcing an ordinance aimed at cracking down on landlords who rent to illegal aliens.

Board members said they were concerned about legal costs that currently stand at about $80,000 to defend the measure in court. They also wondered whether Mayor Jeffery Whitteaker had harmed the citys image.”
