Here's good news--the mayor who first blew the whistle on illegal immigration is running for Congress: > Mayor Barletta Runs for Congress By MICHAEL RUBINKAM Feb 7, 2008 Mayor Lou Barletta, whose crackdown on illegal immigration made him a national hero among those seeking tighter borders, said Thursday he will run for a seat in congress. Barletta announced he will seek the Republican nomination to challenge 12-term Democratic Rep. Paul Kanjorski. He lost to Kanjorski by more than 13 percentage points in 2002, but the mayor's illegal-immigration stance has raised his profile significantly since then. "I've done as much as I can fighting illegal immigration as the mayor of a city," he told The Associated Press. "I need to take this fight to Washington, because that's where the problem needs to be fixed." Barletta has been a staple of talk radio and cable TV news for nearly two years, since he began a campaign to get illegal immigrants out of Hazleton, a city of about 30,000. "I will stand up for all of the victims of crime committed by illegal aliens. I will speak out for the American workers who can't find a decent job because of a depressed wage scale," Barletta said Thursday at a news conference packed with supporters. Kanjorski has yet to announce a re-election campaign but has tried to stake his own claim on Barletta's signature issue. He sent a mailer to constituents in October describing himself as "tough on illegal immigration," and recently told an audience in the Pocono Mountains that "closing the border is practical." At Barletta's urging, the Hazleton City Council in 2006 approved the Illegal Immigration Relief Act, which sought to deny business permits to companies that employ illegal immigrants, fine landlords who rent to them and require tenants to register and pay for a rental permit. With Congress deadlocked over how to address illegal immigration, many municipalities across the country have passed similar laws. Critics say Hazleton-style measures discriminate against Hispanics and assume powers that belong to the federal government, but reaction from the courts has been mixed. A federal judge in July struck down Hazleton's ordinance as unconstitutional, but another judge upheld a similar measure in Valley Park, Mo., last week. Barletta said he wants to secure the nation's borders, airports and seaports; punish "sanctuary cities" that offer a haven to illegal immigrants; target criminals who supply fraudulent documents; and crack down on businesses that hire illegal immigrants.<
