Federal judge upholds Missouri town’s ordinance punishing businesses that hire illegal immigrants – Valley Park
Tagged: judge, Missouri, St. Louis
A federal judge has upheld an ordinance in a suburban St. Louis town that penalizes businesses that hire illegal immigrants.
U.S. District Judge E. Richard Webber ruled late Thursday that the city of Valley Park, Mo.’s ordinance is not pre-empted by federal law, does not discriminate against Hispanics and does not violate due-process rights or Missouri law.
The ordinance “is not preempted by federal law, to the contrary, federal law specifically permits such licensing laws as the one at issue,” Webber wrote.”*
