From
Valley Park’s website: “The City of Valley Park, Missouri,
has passed an ordinance making it illegal for businesses to
hire illegal aliens and for landlords to rent to illegal
aliens. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and the
Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund (MALDEF)
and others have brought together a team of 22 lawyers to sue
the City and halt the enforcement of the ordinance.
The lawsuit was brought on behalf of three landlords
and a business . . .
The City has retained the services of a law professor
at the University of Missouri who was the chief advisor to
former U.S. Attorney General Ashcroft on immigration matters.
Prof. Kobach is a nationally known expert in
immigration and constitutional law.
Valley
Park has a limited budget and is a small city, with the
population less than 7,500 citizens, whereas the litigants in
the suit against the City have counsel who are providing their
services to them free from charges. The City has experienced
much legal expenses and would appreciate the financial support
of like minded persons or businesses that believe our country
and way of life is threatened by unrestricted illegal
immigration and the presence of illegal aliens in the
community at a time when our nation is in a global war against
terrorism.”
From
MAII:
The
City will go back to court in September 2007.
