U.S. CHAMBER of COMMERCE WORKING TO PUT LA RAZA IN OUR JOBS - Here's Only One Case

HERE’S THE U.S. CHAMBER OF COMMERCE FIGHTING AMERICANS TO PUT ILLEGALS IN OUR JOBS!

Supreme Court Gives Town of Hazleton Hope

On Monday, June 6, 2011, the United States Supreme Court reviewed Lozano v. City of Hazleton, a decision from the Third Circuit Court of Appeals that struck down Hazleton’s immigration enforcement ordinance, and sent the case back for reconsideration. 
In Lozano v. City of Hazleton, apartment owners and illegal aliens living within Hazleton, Pennsylvania sued the City in an attempt to strike down its immigration enforcement ordinance. That ordinance: (1) prohibits the hiring of illegal aliens, (2) mandates the use of E-Verify for employers, (3) prohibits the knowing harboring of illegal aliens within the City, and (4) requires renters to obtain rental occupancy licenses. 
The Supreme Court determined that the Third Circuit’s decision could no longer stand given the Supreme Court’s recent decision in Chamber of Commerce v. Whiting, which held that states could constitutionally mandate E-Verify and suspend or revoke business licenses of employers that knowingly employ unauthorized aliens. It sent the case back to the Third Circuit with instructions to reconsider. 
FAIR’s legal affiliate, the Immigration Reform Law Institute (IRLI), assisted in drafting the Hazleton ordinance and has been representing the City of Hazleton from the beginning.  IRLI will now have the opportunity to argue the case before a new panel of judges.
