“Group Wields Racketeering Law Against Landlords to Combat Illegal Immigration,” The New York Times
n this article about a federal lawsuit challenging the right of landlords to rent residential property to illegal immigrants under the RICO Act, Donald Benson of Littler’s Atlanta office discusses the development of effective immigration laws. “Congress couldn’t reach a consensus to reform the immigration laws, states are trying to fill in the gaps and they’re having varied success, and local groups are trying to work through local ordinances, so its just one part of a much bigger picture of immigration struggles in the U.S.,” said Benson.
