Surely, the next stop on Obama SueTrain: Fremont OKs immigrant ordinance (except, it isn’t immigrants, it is illegal aliens, MSM fools)
City officials warned of higher taxes. Residents were told they’d likely see cuts in city services to pay for anticipated legal challenges.
Yet voters here Monday passed a controversial law aimed at ridding their town of illegal immigrants.
“You’ve got to take a step,†said Jerry Hart, a leader of a petition drive to put the ordinance on the ballot. “You’ve got to do something.â€
Residents in this town of 25,000 just west of Omaha voted 57-43 percent in favor of the ordinance that city officials warned could bring a legal battle costing up to $1 million annually. The results were a reflection, supporters said, of growing frustration with illegal immigration and the federal government’s lax enforcement.
Controversial. Yeah. Because we all know that it is controversial to be against law breakers. Like illegal aliens.
Of course, the ACLU has promised to sue.
“Our intention is to make sure the law does not go into effect for even one day,†said Amy Miller of the Nebraska chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union. “It’s un-American. It’s unconstitutional.â€
Upholding the law and reducing the amount of criminals is un-American? Who knew? How about protecting the Constitutionally given Rights of actual citizens, ACLU?
Again, this is the best way to go: hitting employers hard, and those who knowingly house illegals.
Oh, BTW, it looks like Virginia is doing pretty much what Arizona will start doing at the end of July, which is also “available in 336 jurisdictions in 22 states and will be available nationally by 2013.”
