Can Trailer Parks Check Immigration Status?

"Oscar Peralta thought he'd found a secure place to live with his wife – the San Grande Mobile Home Park. He purchased title to property but never moved in after the property owners association demanded Social Security numbers from him and his wife."

DIANNE SOLíS in the Dallas Morning News.

"Angry owners faced off with board members Friday over the immigration policy at the San Grande Mobile home park in Grand Prairie.  The property owners’ association board is demanding proof of legal residency from buyers who want to live at the park on Shady Grove Road near Belt Line.  "It’s just not right," said property owner Ramona Bledsoe.  "They didn’t ask it from white people.  But they’re asking it from Latino people."  Board Vice President Nola Wolfe denied the policy is enforced only for Latinos."
