Hazleton’s mayor speaks out on his controversial ordinance

Carolyn Hileman* | January 22, 2007 

Hazleton Mayor Lou Barletta’s highly publicized campaign to enforce laws cracking down on the city’s influx of illegal immigrants has ruffled more than a few feathers across the nation. The public uproar over his proposed ordinance continues to astonish Barletta. “I never knew that one ordinance would touch a nerve across America,” Barletta told members of the Franklin County Republican Party and other guests Saturday. “Before we knew it, Hazleton was being swamped with media from across the country. … When illegal immigrants are walking the streets in your community, it’s a local issue. It’s not just a federal issue. Illegal immigrants are draining our resources.” Barletta — who announced last week that he will run for a third term as mayor — was the speaker Saturday morning at the Republican Party’s inaugural countywide monthly breakfast at the Quality Inn & Suites hotel in Chambersburg.
