What a freaking mess! How is can it be that a city such as San Francisco can openly flout established immigration laws of this country, and do so with impunity; yet a small Pennsylvania town has to create a legal defense fund simply because its City Council had the temerity(cojones) to draft a bill that labels illegal residents as..well..ILLEGAL!
Lou Barleta - Mayor of Hazelton, Pennsylvania:
Illegal aliens in our City create an economic burden that threatens our quality of life.
With a growing problem and a limited budget, I could not sit back any longer and allow this to happen. I needed to act!
That’s why I drafted the Illegal Immigration Relief Act, a measure designed to say enough is enough.
To the residents of Hazleton, I say thank you for your support. To
our recently arrived legal immigrants, I say welcome to our City. I
wish you all the best and hope the United States and Hazleton can be a
place where your dreams come true. I am proud to represent you as your
Mayor.
And to illegal immigrants and those who would hire or abet them in any way, I say your time is up. You are no longer welcome.
There are thousands of small towns and cities across America like Hazleton, Pennsylvania.
I hope the steps we’re taking in Hazleton to defend ourselves will inspire others to become small town defenders.

Bravo to the members of Hazelton City Council!
