"Washington, 18 July (EFE). - Because of the passage in the County of Loudoun (Virginia) of measures to prohibit to the undocumented immigrants to have access to county services, just like occured a week ago in the Prince William County also in Virginia, this causes the Hispanic community to not feel welcome.
One resolution is to be studied for six weeks and then they return for a vote in September, and it will prohibit access to some services of the county to those without immigration status, and will also close the businesses who use undocumented workers.
There will also be collaboration between the federal offices and the Sheriff of Loudoun County, and the authorities in immigration matters, which will make it more agile for deportations of undocumented people, as passed by the Council.
"The worse thing of all this is the discriminatory message that goes directed to the Latino community in these counties that it indicates to them that they are not welcome", said Kent Willis, executive director of the (ACLU) of Virginia.
The question now is, with these established measures which take place, there will be discrimination against all the Latin immigrants with papers or without them?", he said.
"These resolucions are a direct result of the incapacity of the Congress of the U.S.A. to solve the problem of the migratory system", explained Angela Sanbrano, President of the National Alliance of Communities Caribbean and Latin American (NALACC). "After the failure of the Migratory Reformation (comprehensive federal immigration Senate law), the local US counties have chosen to pass their own laws against the undocumented immigrants without recognizing the economic impact upon those cities" considered Anbrano.
Brent Wilkes, national executive director of Liga de United Latin American Ciudadanos (LULAC), said to our reporters that considers that is approved this type of measures and advertises "dissapointment" the possible consequences economically of the same ones.
"This negatively affects in the economy that the immigrants are an important manual labor and services that remains in the shadows", he said.
The resolution was approved Monday, segus, promotional, with to stop the increase of the delinquency that is especially pressing onto the the border of Loudoun County touching the City of Herndon and the Fairfax County (also both in Virginia). Don't many in the Loudoun County consider that the problem in this zone has its origin in the day labor work center in Herndon, where immigrants, legal or no, hope to that work per hours like gardeners or laborers of construccion is offered to them?
This center was set up just to the east of the county of Loudoun, and although from the Herndon side, the authorities there assure that they try that these workers do not go into the neighboring county, many residents of the area have denounced that these immigrants often usually cross this the border. The resolution in Loudoun County is very similar to approved the week last in Prince William County(Virginia) but something less severe, since in this county, they prohibit the services, authorizes to the Police to verify status migratory of any person who raises "reasonable suspicions".
In the case of resolucion de Loudoun of County went into the one hour to the agenda of the Meeting by the petitioning of the Republican Supervisor of Sterling, Eugene Delgaudio, that then got the support of the other five Republicans on the Council, that consists of nine members.
After to be approved yesterday, County administration responds with six weeks of study at the beginning of the resolution. The plenary session of the Meeting of Supervisors to return to meet in September for new voting in which to specify itself the details on text, such as the local county services that will come to be denied to the undocumented immigrants.
Nobody knows how many of the 270,000 inhabitants of the county reside are legal but the Hispanic associations agreed in which one of the keys is integracion.
"Whatever integrates these immigrants in these counties is the better solution to work for, because it is very easy to discriminate against which you do not know", concludes Wilkes. EFE"

I truly believe it is the next step.
Korean illegal aliens alone account for probably 50% of all Koreans living in the United States. They are worried sick, too, over all these reprecussions.
Good!
It is not just a "hispanic" thing....
You mean, loser comments by liberals within the context of a FR thred, right? I hope this thread is not a “loser”! :-)
Otherwise, that is just fantastic!
It would make a great bumper sticker. However, I recommend bullet proof glass on the car, and a course in high speed escape/evasion driving--if you were to tack that on.
Done. Thanks for the editing.
Is that clear enough??!!??
Not to the ACLU it ain't. LOL.
GREAT!!! And hopefully other local and state governments will pass similar "anti-immigrant" (actually anti-ILLEGAL-immigrant) measures so they can feel unwelcome in THOSE locales as well.
US citizens and legal residents are 100% welcome in Virgina. Mexican nationals that entered the country illegally: Not so much.
What a pile of crap. “Hispanic” people aren’t being made to fell unwelcome. ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT people are being made to feel unwelcome, as well they should be.
HEAR HEAR!!
Yea, Virginia has some issues, but the home of Washington, Jefferson and Madison is okay by me.
Boy do I know how you feel, been to California many times, have always felt that way when I cross the state into California.
Consider that if one community cuts off services, some of the leeches will move to another community, thereby increasing the proportional load on its productive members. That community will feel increased pressure to cut off services.
In addition, productive citizens will tend to move to communities where their efforts will be rewarded, thus rewarding those communities that cut off services. Further, the move will put additional pressure on communities that haven’t cut off services.
Right around Columbia Pike, and Route 236, I bet.
BUMP
Illegals think we OWE them smething. We owe them deportation, that’s all.
Darn right. Many of the local talk radio calls where I live are from people with heavy Spanish accents. They are MAD that they had to jump through all the hoops to come here legally, are grateful for being here, and the border jumpers are being allowed a free pass. It’s not all like La Raza (and many in our mindless “goverment”) would like us to think it is.
They speak no more for the rank and file grassroots Hispanics, than the libs/communists in the mass media in the USA at large speak for the average grassroots person in this nation.
If I was a Hispanic US citizen or legal resident, I’d be plenty pissed off by this media outlet’s suggestion that “Hispanic” and “illegal immigrant” are one and the same thing.
