Who is kidding who here?

Another anti-immigrant housing ordinance thinly veiled as a public health, safety, congestion-control measure.

I am so saddened by the ugliness of this. It's clear even from the article that this measure is constitutionally suspect on its face -- and definitely as it's being implemented. With the rising cost of housing in the DC-metro area, how is any family just starting out -- whether as new Americans or a young couple looking for a first home -- going to be able to afford any space at all?

And the fact that the ordinance is being enforced almost exclusively against the Latino community is outrageous and just disgusting.

UPDATE: (1/5) The Manassas authorities have stated that they will not enforce this law (or so I heard on the radio). That the ACLU had decided to litigate the suit may have impacted their decision...
