In July, 2006 the city of Hazelton, Pennsylvania passed anti-immigrant legislation that would punish landlords and employers who are accused of renting to hiring anyone the city classifies as an “illegal alien.” Businesses that refused to comply with the laws and investigate the immigration status of employees and tenants would be fined or denied business permits.
