A bill snaking through state Legislature this week would slap fines as high as $500 on landlords who rent property to illegal aliens, a move many landlords support but feel it’s too difficult to police.
House Bill 1365, authored by State Rep. Tim Burns, R-Mandeville, would make it illegal to rent properties to illegal immigrants. But the bill — more of a “good faith attempt” to police illegal immigrants than a witch hunt for shady landlords, Burns said — is one that may be impossible to implement, opponents said.”*
