Prince William County's high-profile crackdown on illegal immigration was smoothly implemented by the county police department and staff, and had few unintended consequences despite falling short of some of its original goals, according to a three-year report on the policy released Tuesday.

The number of illegal immigrants in the county dropped by between 2,000 and 6,000 individuals between 2006 and 2008, though it was unclear to what extent that decrease could be attributed to the policy and how much was due to the sluggish economy, according to the report prepared by the University of Virginia's Center for Survey Research.

The politicians say over and over that there is nothing we can do about illegals. The people in Virginia seem to have proven the politicians wrong. Now if we can only get the politicians in Maryland to stop helping illegals it would be easy to greatly improve the current siuation.

We need to deport or imprison ALL illegal aliens,including their anchor babies, seal/secure the border with a fence and wall, and have a lethal response to anyone trying to re-enter illegally.

So if they know enough about the illegal population in the county to make this analysis, then they must know where the rest of them are. Get busy and send them home too.

This fudge sentence is always inserted to blunt the impact of a successful implementation. Had this policy not been in effect, the illegals would just have gone on welfare "due to the sluggish economy".
