Hazelton to Appeal Judge's Decision
I don't think they'll win but I'm glad they're fighting. None of the articles I've seen mention the FACT that thousands of suspected illegals left town before their laws were passed. That, in itself, helped ease the problem.
A federal judge issued a permanent injunction yesterday against restrictive anti-illegal-immigration ordinances in Hazleton, Pa., a city described by its mayor as "the toughest place on illegal immigrants in America."
In a statement, Hazleton Mayor Louis J. Barletta said: "This fight is far from over. I have said it many times before: Hazleton is not going to back down. We are discouraged to see a federal judge has decided -- wrongly, we believe -- that Hazleton and cities like it around the nation cannot enact legislation to protect their citizens, their services, and their budgets."
