Illegals Flee Hazelton, Pa.

@ 10:39 PM (18 months, 24 days ago)

Oh, break my heart. Thank God, and some American citizens that are concerned about criminals, Hazelton took steps to take up the "Welcome" mat to these law breakers. I pray the legal challenges fail.

Thank You, Hazelton.


HAZLETON, Pa. -- The day after illegal immigrants were declared officially unwelcome in this struggling little city, Wyoming Street fell quiet.

It had been a lively downtown strip of bodegas, hair salons and clothing stores patronized by the Hispanics who have poured into town seeking work over the last five years. It was also, some say, a hub of drug-dealing, prostitution and graffiti.

 

 

The Carpentersville proposals and dozens of similar measures nationwide are now on hold, awaiting the conclusion of a legal battle expected to start this week in Pennsylvania. Yet for Hazleton Mayor Lou Barletta, the verdict is in.

"[Illegal immigration] destroys small cities," he said. "What we're doing is historic. We have found a way for local communities to fight back."
