Establishing Citizenship []

Herriott v. City of Seattle [] The court reversed the judgment that dismissed the aliens' complaint that sought to enjoin the city from discharging them and to have provisions of the city charter and the civil service rules, which made citizenship a requirement for taking the civil service examination, declared void.

Hsieh v. Civil Serv. Commision [] The resident aliens brought a declaratory judgment action challenging the city's citizenship restrictions regarding civil service examinations. The trial court dismissed the action and the resident aliens appealed. In reversing, the court ruled that federal supremacy in the field of immigration and naturalization as exercised by Congress under U.S. Const. art. I, § 8, and by the Immigration and Nationality Act, 8 U.S.C.S. § 1101 et seq., precluded the city from establishing citizenship as a condition to eligibility for civil service examination for general public employment. Local governments did not have absolute discretion as to who would be allowed employment and intrusions upon federal prerogatives could not stand.

Group members,

I am attaching the link for a database that keeps track of all state legislation enacted since 2008. I am focusing on Georgia, so the database hase Georgia laws only. Whoever is interested can change the state. This is a great website to look to research the impacts of immigrants in a region. LDA []
