Burnishing Philadelphia’s image as receptive to hardworking immigrants, City Council on Thursday recognized “every person’s right to earn a living, regardless of immigration status.”

Aimed at every kind of workplace, the resolution focuses on restaurants and employees who commonly lack working papers, which leaves them “vulnerable to discrimination, abuse, dangerous working conditions [and] wage theft.”

Violation of existing federal law.

Each city council member should get a "complimentary" interview from federal ICE agents. And an invitation to speak to the federal District Attorney.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
