Proposed Law To Hinder Illegal Immigration Targets Landlords

Escondido City Council Discusses Issue

A North County community is leading the way in local efforts to hinder illegal immigration.

Under debate is a proposed law that would punish landlords who rent to undocumented immigrants. Those found in violation of the proposed law would be fined $1,000 and may even be arrested.

The Escondido City Council will discuss the provisions of the new law Wednesday afternoon. Council members intend the law as a deterrent to illegal immigrants moving into the city.

It is an issue that is dividing the community--bringing many out to protest. Immigrant groups and high school students will be among those opposing the proposed law.

Escondido High School students are marching to Grape Day Park in protest Wednesday at 3:00 p.m.

Protestors will also be in front of Escondido City Hall when council members arrive for Wednesday's council meeting.
