coragryph pretty much nailed it, but of course the rabid anti-rights crowd don't care about the facts, otherwise such silly questions wouldn't be continually asked in the first place.

None. Particularly because the Constitution only applies to American citizens. (See deportation cases)

The ACLU's argument is saying that state and local governments do not have the authority to control the federal borders and deal with illegal immigrant (the INS, among other departments, takes care of that). However, the lack of enforcement on the border and the inability to come up with a solution by the federal government has forced state officials into a corner where they have to act in order to protect their perceived economic interests.

However, that is mostly just arguing semantics. It is likely that this town's policy will be deemed Constitutional for lack of any clear precident in the courts preventing it.

This is clearly a case where the Federal government is continuing to drop the ball, and the states being forced to pick up the slack... therefore until the Federal government comes up with an established policy to enforce its own laws, the states will likely be deemed justified in taking their own action.

I spoke with 2 criminal immigrants and asked them. They mentioned there is this form of long wait time and that it expenses a good number of money to pay for the varieties mandatory to start the approach. even however they informed me this, they nonetheless do no longer help illegals using fact a number of them come illegally using fact they do exactly no longer choose to attend. The criminal human beings wait and experience obligated to do the spectacular element and the illegals act out of selfishness. they additionally experience that's unfair that certainly one of them has a kinfolk member who keeps getting denied to return right here legally and that they only shop sponsoring them and paying a hundred and fifty greenbacks every time, then shop getting denied. using fact the wait time is see you later using illegals.

The Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment, and the Due Process clauses of the 5th and 14th Amendments.

Have you actually bothered to read the case? Or just news reports by people who don't like it?

Under federal law, states (and towns) are not allowed to enforce federal immigration laws. Hazelton was trying to do that. Which means Hazelton was breaking the law.

It's amazing to me how many people are so fanatically against illegal immigrants, because they are breaking the law, but don't seem to care when our own govt breaks the law. Either everyone has to follow the law, or nobody does.

There are no illegal aliens, there are illegal companies that hire them. Hazelton is going after those companies. If the rest of the government followed this example there would be no problem.
