Farmers Branch - anti immigrant lease ordinance

Voters approved an ordinance that would prohibit landlords from renting apartments to most illegal immigrants in the Dallas suburb of Farmers Branch.

The Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund and the American Civil Liberites Union, which have already sued the city over the regulation, asked for the temporary restraining order in a U.S. District Court.

"It is unfortunate that the residents of Farmers Branch have chosen to implement a law which is not only bad policy, but is likely also unconstitutional," said Lisa Graybill, legal directorfor the ACLU of Texas. "Now the issue will have to be resolved in federal court," she continued.

WHAT DO I SAY??

Ridiculous, how can a local law that supports a national law be unconstitutional. Has everyone forgotten that they aren't supposed to be here??

Now on the other hand I like cheap vegetables and a lower cost when I have to have some work done around the house or in the yard, so I am not sure what the answer is. Why can't they just legalize them all and let them start paying taxes?

They are here already...
