CULPEPER, Virginia. (AP) – Even without a debate, in a meeting of the County Supervisors of Culpeper County in Virginia, they have unanimously declared a resolution making English the official language of the county.
Also, the meeting held on Tuesday was whether to go along with other localities in Virginia to look to the General Assembly for aid to deal with problems that arise as a result of migracion of the undocumented (sic; aka “illegal immigrants”), among others the cost incurred in provision of public services. That proposal did not even have any discussion, either.
Although citizens of Culpeper County have been in the middle of the frame of the debate on immigration, the action on Tuesday shows the specific actions by the Government of the county.
The administrator of the county, Frank Bossio, said after the council meeting, the committee rules on this meeting subject will propose a statewide coalition.
During these few months, the counties of Loudoun and Prince William in Virginia have also gone forward with such similar local resolutions.
Culpeper County Administrator Frank Bossio is now tasked with identifying other localities interested in joining the coalition. He plans to contact all counties, cities and towns in the state, he said. “It portends a more comprehensive approach after the initial welling up of people’s concerns about illegal aliens,” Bossio said. “Now what? Let’s get down to the nitty-gritty and get the problems identified and see what the common issues and elements are.”
Bossio said other localities can either draft similar resolutions or send staff members to a meeting Culpeper County would organize. Then, each locality could state what it thinks its problems are, identify similarities with others and also identify issues that could be changed at the state and federal level. Rules Committee Chairman Steve Walker said counties have limited authority to make significant changes regarding illegal immigration. But the coalition might be able to suggest legislation to the General Assembly that would authorize specific actions once the localities come to some common ground about what they need to do. “The idea is for us to get together and see where it can go,” he said.”

Sheesh. What is WRONG with this keyboard!!
I love my city and county and state..
The second largest group of people in our county after Americans are Russian immigrants, so far..they are part of a refugee type program..and they all work and contribute..
We have REAL immigrants from many countries partly due to a large international ministry school at Lee University, the Church of God university in our city..
we have little or no problems from students from Africa, Central America, Asia etc, sent here by their churches, or here on their own funds..They come here speaking English and prepared to assimilate..I have friends from Africa that I have known for 20 years or more..
It’s the in-your-face illegal aliens (mostly from Mexico, etc) that did not care to IMMIGRATE but instead demand compensation and gifts etc.. say HUH?
They are not immigrants...they are illegal aliens..and they must go back home..

Haven’t seen that but then I haven’t been to the courthouse here lately. However, last time I went to the Beaverton DMV I thought it was like being in Mexico...it was unbelievable.
Our mayor SUCKS.
Bttt!
I myself have seen the same thing, with my own eyes, and heard too many stories for the phenomenon not to be true.
Certain people are here who have NO INTENT TO ASSIMILATE but just suck us dry, contribute to their communidad back home by money transfers, and insist that everything be adapted THEIR WAY, without making efforts to first follow the law and second, absorb into our culture.
What a headache and a nuisance!
Thanks for the ping. Thanks to all researchers/linkers/contributors on this thread. BTTT!
Texas Town Adopts Spanish As Official Language
August 16, 1999
EL CENIZO, Texas -- The border town of El Cenizo, whose population is heavily Hispanic, has adopted Spanish as its official language and declared the community a safe haven for illegal immigrants, officials said Friday.

Illegal aliens usually have lots and lots of documents and all of them are in violation of our laws and should not even be in this country. They should have no rights to tax supported services.
