Mayors debate illegal immigration

WILKES-BARRE – Two mayors with opposite views on how to handle illegal immigrants in their cities presented those views and then answered questions at a public forum Thursday night at King’s College.

Hazleton Mayor Lou Barletta and New Haven, Conn., Mayor John DeStefano were speakers.

Speaking through a video-conference from Albertus Magnus College in New Haven, DeStefano said his job is “to make New Haven a safe and civil place.” He said about 15,000 of his city’s 130,000 residents are illegal immigrants and are important to the local economy.
