The mayor of a Pennsylvania city has vowed to appeal a federal judge’s ruling striking down a law that would fine landlords who rent to illegal aliens and deny permits to businesses that employ them.
“Federal law prohibits Hazelton from enforcing any of the provisions” of the Illegal Immigration Relief Act, U.S. District Judge James Munley wrote in his 206-page ruling on Thursday.
“Whatever frustrations officials of the city of Hazleton may feel about the current state of federal immigration enforcement, the nature of the political system in the United States prohibits the city from enacting ordinances that disrupt a carefully drawn federal statutory scheme,” Munley stated.
“Even if federal law did not conflict with Hazleton’s measures, the city could not enact an ordinance that violates rights the Constitution guarantees to every person in the United States, whether legal resident or not,” he said.
“We cannot say clearly enough that persons who enter this country without legal authorization are not stripped immediately of all their rights because of this single act,” the judge added.
Judge Munley, appointed by former President Clinton is a window into the soul of liberal, activist judges that do not interpret the law, but create it! A new President Hillary would appoint similar, but likely more extremist judges to the bench if/when we have the misfortune of her election.

LibNOT.com is hopeful that the intestinal fortitude displayed by Mayor Barletta is infectious to other weak-kneed politicians!
