The All-American, “innocent until proven guilty” answer is STILL, “Fuck you! Prove I’m not,” and anybody who says otherwise is some sorta pinko nazi. It’s just best sometimes to mutter that to yourself while producing the minimum amount of identification.
But seriously, as I don’t live or own property in Hazleton I have no legal requirement to rent only to legal residents and the status of a tenant is none of my business as long as he pays his rent.

Not really my field, but I’m thinking this could be a problem with current fair housing law. If a person of one race/national origin is acceptable with a credible ID, but another person of a different race/national origin is not acceptable with the same type of ID, methinks litigation will ensue.
Think there may also be questions of Federal Premption in some areas as well. Maybe hizzoner shoulda called this new law something like “Full Employment for Immigration and Civil Rights Attorneys Act”…

Not really my field either, but having been a landloard I know that requiring proof of citizenship or visa is permissible as long as you ask for the same proof from every applicant. Keeping copies and good records is a must.
