Tribune-Review
OHIO TOWNSHIP, Pennsylvania -- An illegal immigrant charged with harboring aliens from his native China owns nearly $1 million in Allegheny County property -- including his Stowe Chinese restaurant supply business and his Ohio Township home, government records show.
There is no federal law barring illegal immigrants from owning real estate or businesses, and most state or local governments never ask for proof of legal status in real estate or business transactions. That angers those fighting for changes to U.S. immigration laws.
