Escondido Illegal Immigration Control

The Escondido City Council is considering measures to control illegal immigration. A measure requiring Escondido landlords to verify the immigrant status of tenants was passed by a divided council in 2006 and made national headlines. The measure was later invalidated by court action. The Council has followed this action by considering other measures which are aimed at immigrants: day laborer restrictions and overnight parking.
