Escondido, CA: Law stops renting to illegal immigrants

[shinerbock]

It is directed at Hispanics, as it should be. Its not racism, its addressing the problem.

Personally, I think the law is a great idea.

Did you 2 marry illegal immigrants?

can't speak for Alpha Frog but no I didn't marry an illegal. However, we still had to do the long drawn out process for him to get a Green Card

I mean . . . you're obviously wearing alternately-colored glasses, considering your husband is not a legal immigrant - few of us are unbiased.

I think the reality is that a huge number of illegal immigrants are Hispanic, and thus any immigration policy will affect the Hispanic population more than others. This doesn't make the policy more or less valid - it seems like jobs and housing are two of the only realistic ways to attempt to regulate illegal immigrants form the 'supply-side', as it were, no?
