Hazleton immigration law under new review

Hazleton immigration law under new review

On Monday, citing their recent decision upholding an Arizona employer-sanctions law, the Supreme Court ordered a federal appeals court to give Hazelton, Pa. another chance to defend its never-enforced immigration law. Peter Spiro, a professor at Temple's Beasley School of Law, predicted that opponents of the law will have a tough time convincing the appeals court in light of the ruling in the Arizona case. "The clear message is they are going to tolerate some level of state and local participation in immigration enforcement," he said.
