ACLU Sue Over Efforts To Discourage Illegal Immigrants Stop The ACLU ^ \| 20-Oct-06 \| John Stephenson stoptheaclu.com ACLU: A coalition of Riverside business owners, landlords and residents will file a lawsuit today in state court against Riverside Township, contending that the recently adopted Illegal Immigration Relief Act oversteps the city’s authority, is too vague, unfairly puts businesses at risk and violates civil rights under state law. The plaintiffs are represented by attorneys from the American Civil Liberties Union of New Jersey, American Civil Liberties Union Immigrants’ Rights Project, Spear Wilderman, P.C., the Puerto Rican Legal Defense and Education Fund, People For the American Way Foundation and Ragonese Albano & Viola. The ordinance is one of the most restrictive of the recent wave of anti-immigrant legislation passed by local governments across the nation. It attempts to ban immigrants from renting, residing, using property or being employed in Riverside. The ordinance, in very broad terms, applies to actions that “aid or abet” undocumented immigrants anywhere in the United States. ... “State law simply does not permit Riverside to exclude immigrants from the township,” said James Katz of Spear Wilderman, P.C., who is cooperating counsel for the ACLU in the case. “Nor can they regulate the rental or hiring decisions of Riverside businesses and landlords.” Notice any important descriptive word missing from the ACLU press release that would make it more accurate? How about the word "illegal" immigrant. This is what the laws are aimed at, not legal immigrants. If you are here illegally you have no right to work, rent or anything else. If you come here with complete disregard to our laws, avoid paying taxes, and then try to play the victim card you get no sympathy from me. These laws are intended to discourage illegal immigration and in no way "discriminate" against immigrants in general as the misleading ACLU press release headline suggests.
