I don't get it..

I recommend that ya'll check this article out and form your own opinions on it, it's quite mind-boggling. http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/news/localnews/stories/091208dnmetfarmersbranch.6d75e6b8.html Last week in Farmers Branch, Tx, a judge issued a temporary restraining order which prevents the city from implementing a recent ordinance aimed at stopping housing rentals to illegal immigrants. Under this ordinance, a city occupancy license must be obtained by home and apartment renters, which the city then checks to confirm that they are here legally. If they aren't here legally, the license will be revoked and they could be evicted. The judge fears that the ordinance would cause irreparable harm to apartment complexes by repelling prospective business. The judge's order prevents implementation of the ordinance until a hearing is held on a preliminary injunction. Mayor Tim O'Hare disagreed with the ruling, adding "I think the will of the people of Farmers Branch is not being carried out," he said. "I think you'll ultimately see this matter resolved by the U.S. Supreme Court."
This is rediculous...What better way to encourage illegal immigration than by restraining our laws aimed at elliminating the harboring of illegal immigrants(thats what this is all about)..This ordinance should be enacted, and apartment complexes that don't abide by it need to be punished...Where's the nationalism?
