A federal appeals court Wednesday upheld a lower court’s decision to block a law preventing undocumented immigrants from seeking housing in a Dallas, Texas suburb.
The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that Farmers Branch, a city of about 29,000 residents, overstepped its authority when it passed the law in 2008.
The law called on the city’s building inspector to check the immigration status of any would-be renter who wasn’t a U.S. citizen and barred undocumented immigrants from rental housing.
Landlords who knowingly rented to undocumented residents could have their licenses revoked.
The appellate court found the law to be discriminatory since it “excludes” undocumented immigrants, “particularly Latinos, under the guise of policing housing.”
“Because the sole purpose and effect of this ordinance is to target the presence of illegal aliens… and to cause their removal, it contravenes the federal government’s exclusive authority over the regulation of immigration and the conditions of residence in this country,” the court ruling said.

Asia for Asians, Africa for Africans, White countries for everyone????????
Everybody says there is this RACE problem. Everybody says this RACE problem will be solved when the third world pours into EVERY white country and ONLY into White countries.
The Netherlands and Belgium are more crowded than Japan or Taiwan, but nobody says Japan or Taiwan will solve this RACE problem by bringing in millions of third worlders and quote assimilating unquote with them.
Everybody says the final solution to this RACE problem is for EVERY white country and ONLY White countries to “assimilate,” i.e., intermarry, with all those non-Whites.
What if I said there was this RACE problem and this RACE problem would be solved only if hundreds of millions of non-blacks were brought into EVERY black country and ONLY into black countries?
How long would it take anyone to realize I’m not talking about a RACE problem. I am talking about the final solution to the BLACK problem?
And how long would it take any sane black man to notice this and what kind of psycho black man wouldn’t object to this?
But if I tell that obvious truth about the ongoing program of genocide against my race, the White race, Liberals and respectable conservatives will just say that I’m a naziwhowantstokillsixmillionjews.
They say they are anti-racist. What they are is anti-White.
Anti-racist is a code word for anti-White.

It's illegal to aid people to stay in the US illegally. Doesn't that make it already illegal to rent them housing? Since illegal aliens cannot work legally, how can they be expected to pay rent?
