Town quietly rescinds tough law aimed at illegal immigrants - Riverside, New Jersey

“This southern New Jersey town has voted to rescind a law that made it illegal to rent or hire illegal immigrants.

The 3-1 vote Monday night puts an end to a law that got national attention and made big changes in a small town, but was never enforced.

In the end, township officials said they could not afford the legal bills that would come with defending the “Illegal Immigration Relief Act,” which was similar to one from Hazleton, Pa., that a federal judge found unconstitutional earlier this year. “
