Illegal Alien Registration

(Pahrump, Nevada) The town board will take up a proposed ordinance today which would require all illegal aliens in Pahrump to register. If passed, the ordinance would allow the local government to charge $200 for each registration.

Penalties for not registering would be $500 for the first offense and $5,000 for the second offense. A third offense would require deportation.

Predictably, the American Civil Liberties Union has stated that the ordinance will likely face constitutional challenges.

Notably, the town of Pahrump passed an English-only ordinance last month. By a vote of three to two, the town board made English the official language of Pahrump.
