This is a great idea. Fine the landlords for renting to them. It will not only cut the amount of illegals coming in but clean up some of the area's.

The city's Code Enforcement Department will implement the Illegal Immigration Relief Act, a law passed by the City Council on Thursday that fines landlords $1,000 per day for each illegal immigrant living on their properties. It takes effect in two months

IF the Federal Government wont act, it is up to the STATE and LOCAL government to ACT for the protection of it's citizens.

"Forcing businesses to check citizenship papers before selling someone food or clothing?" said Jorge Mursuli, the progressive advocacy group's Hispanic affairs vice president. "Turning landlords into involuntary agents of the state? This isn't the America I know and love."

The Hazleton ordinance is the latest example of local and state governments, frustrated by federal inaction to combat illegal immigration, developing their own solutions to the problems it creates.

"It's looking like we're going to see a tidal wave of local governments stepping up to the plate on handling illegal immigration on the local level," said Joseph Turner, who proposed an ordinance similar to Hazleton's in San Bernardino, Calif. "And I believe it's going to put enormous pressure on the federal government to finally act."
