Texas Town's Immigrant-Renting Rule Is Struck Down
http://www.newsmax.com/us/immigration_t ... 99635.html
FARMERS BRANCH, Texas -- A Dallas suburb's rule against renting apartments to illegal immigrants has been declared unconstitutional.
U.S. District Judge Sam A. Lindsay says in his ruling Wednesday that it's the federal government's job to police immigration matters.
He says the city of Farmers Branch shouldn't have tried to determine which non-citizens could rent apartments there.
The ordinance passed last year requires landlords to verify the legal status of renters. Residents endorsed the measure a year ago in the nation's first public vote on such a matter.
