"The Writ of Mandate is appropriate in cases where government has a duty, and

fails to execute that duty, where citizens have an interest in government performing that duty, where there is no other speedy and effective remedy available to citizens to compel the government to perform its duty, and where irrevocable harm will result if government does not perform its duty. This Court has jurisdiction because only a federal court can compel state and local governments to comply with federal law, when that law pertains to state and local governments and provides for no immunity. Petitioners come now to request that this Court enforce federal Immigration Law as codified in US 8, Chapter 14, Section 1621(d), which pertains to public benefits given to illegal aliens.

DUTY

According to US 8 1101: VERIFICATION OF ELIGIBILITY FOR BENEFITS
The law denies most government benefits to illegal aliens. The government has a duty o assure that taxpayer-supported public assistance programs are not abused. As with work authorization, enforcement of eligibility requirements relies upon a credible system of verification . The INS, working with the White House Interagency Working Group on Immigration as appropriate, shall review means of improving the existing benefits verification program. In addition, we will seek new mechanisms – including increased penalties for false information used to qualify for benefits - to protect the integrity of public programs.



The Commonwealth of Kentucky, and its governmental entities and agencies, has a non-discretionary duty to withhold state and local benefits to illegal aliens unless it enacts a law that affirmatively grants eligibility to illegal aliens as stated in US Title 8 Aliens and Nationality (EXHIBIT 1):

As the person who wrote the Petition for the Writ, I will tell you that it had a good chance of succeeding because there is no negative fiscal impact on the City. In fact, the city will have more money for legal citizens. All lawyers poo-poo pro se litigants and all politicains hate it when this best kept secret of citizen power pops up to bite them on the behind.
