Pa. City Puts Illegal Immigrants on Notice

This guy is my hero!
From WaPo:
An immigrant's grandson, Louis J. Barletta, the mayor of this once-sleepy hill city, leans forward behind the desk in his corner office and with an easy smile confides his goal.This is exactly what needs to be done nation wide. take away their reason for being in this country and they will pack up and go home. See how easy it is people?
Barletta wants to make Hazleton "the toughest place on illegal immigrants in America."
"What I'm doing here is protecting the legal taxpayer of any race," said the dapper 50-year-old mayor, sweeping his hands toward the working-class city outside. "And I will get rid of the illegal people. It's this simple: They must leave ."
Last month, in a raucous meeting, the mayor and City Council passed the Illegal Immigration Relief Act. (Barletta wore a bulletproof vest because, he says, Hazleton is menaced by a surge in crime committed by illegal immigrants.) The act imposes a $1,000-per-day fine on any landlord who rents to an illegal immigrant, and it revokes for five years the business license of any employer who hires one.
The act also declares English to be the city's official language. Employees are forbidden to translate documents into another language without official authorization.
The law doesn't take effect for another month. But the Republican mayor already sees progress. "I see illegal immigrants picking up and leaving — some Mexican restaurants say business is off 75 percent," Barletta says. "The message is out there."
My "Comprehensive" immigration reform:
- Secure the border by any means necessary. This includes the Military.
- Stiff penalties for employers, which are actually enforced.
- No taxpayer funded programs for illegals or their families. (including school for children of illegals and non-emergency medical care for any illegal)
- No "Anchor Babies" (no automatic citizenship for children of illegals born in the US)
- No path to Citizenship in any name or form for those here illegally.
- No Guest worker program until the above measures are put in place and the need can be PROVEN
- English only education and the official language of the USA
