Immigration Matter


United States Supreme Court declined to hear appeals regarding anti-immigrant laws finding that the issues of immigration are a matter for federal agencies, not local governments, to regulate. Hazleton, Pennsylvania and Farmers Ranch, Texas attempted to enact housing and employment rules directly aimed at people in the country illegally. Such rules included fining landlords who rented to people living in the county illegally, denying businesses permits who gave jobs to persons in the country illegally and requiring prospective tenants to register with City Hall for a rental permit.
