"Anti-Immigration Law Passed in Virginia - 07/12/2007 by Diario Reporter Isabel Conde
Effecting Mexican and Other Undocumented Workers
Washington/EFE -
The approval in Prince William County (Virginia) of a local resolution that hardens measures against the illegal immigrants and denies access to them to community services has caused "deep dissapointment" in the Hispanic community. The resolution, approved Tuesday unanimously after to have undergone a pair of changes of last hour, authorizes and demands "civil employees, agencies and personnel" of the county to verify the immigration status of any person on whom a reasonable suspicion that exists she is an undocumented immigrant. Initially this exigency to "any person of the county" had extended but before the pressure of the groups pro immigrants and the Police of the county they were possibly ended up changing the terms in the definitive version of the resolution. "it does not concern the way in which it appears writing, one is a directed resolution mainly the Hispanic community and of character clearly anti Latin", said Kent Willis, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Virginia. "Now it is to wait for to ` sessions of work` that the county has said that it will organize in near 60 days in which all the details will be specified", Willis explained.
ACLU is not the unique one that has shown their opposition. "the decree has shown to a total lack of understanding of the community immigrant in a as diverse county as Prince Williams", said to Efe Flavia Jiménez, analyst of policy and immigration of the National Council of La Raza (NCLR). Like them, the Chief of Police of Prince William County, Charlie T. Deane, has made his opposition to the measurement public, that, said, will have "important unexpected consequences which the county will have to face in the coming years". Some of these consequences could include an ascent of taxes and, even, an increase of the rates of criminality between the immigrants who no longer will be arranged to collaborate with the Police. On the other hand, the president of the Commission Corey Stewart, Governing body, defended his position and alleged that the resolution only tries to solve to the problems of "overpopulation in houses and schools, and to deport those undocumented people who are violent and dangerous"."
They may try but they will eventually lose this battle. The tide has turned.
Yes, indeed, they really did screw up their own case. It was almost hilarious to watch them make such massive PR mistakes.
What you said! Yep!
Scheisse!!!
I am CONVINCED where they can fight us to some extent on Capitol Hill, they cannot do so in all the localities, they will be overwhelmed by sheer numbers and they will not know their right from their left. If we all move forward en-masse, over the next few weeks, and months, into the next year or so on the local level across the land, like in Prince Williams County in Virginia, it will be a total rout.
We must call and write our local officials next week on this and get them on board. I have heard this is now spreading to other Virginia counties as we speak, I got a national immigration mail alert about it just recently.
Hey, illegals! Get the hell out of my country! But, if you want to come here, do what my mother did! Come here LEGALLY! Play by the rules, and follow our laws. Take citizenship classes and become an American citizen, and swear allegiance to America. Like my mother did! If you do that, we will welcome you with open arms. But, breaking our laws, and demanding WE change OUR laws and OUR culture to accommodate you? Kiss my ass!
Those anti-American parades by the illegals turned out to be the Paul Wellstone Memorial of their movement. When the dems converted their Wellstone memorial service into a politcal rally, it turned Americans against them. Those illegal-immigrant parades had the same effect on the voters in our country.
I really believe, too, that the tide has turned. Defeating the Senate shamnesty bill seemed impossible with so many powers arrayed on the other side. But the people won and now we can pile victory on victory. The public is mad as hell and they’re not going to take it any more. No amount of American-hating Anti-Christian Lawyers Associations or courts can stop it.
I almost hoped we would not ridicule them in the open, so they would continue to fly the Mexiflags and damage their case further!! LOL!!!
We were on defense.
Now we go on TOTAL OFFENSE and go for the big kill, county by county if need be. We have no time to let the enemy recoup and get back on offense.
They need to put a booking station in the middle of one of these parades marches. And a slipNslide out the back door...
I am convinced these must be major parts of the explanation as to just why our own GOP Party through this Administration has taken such a pro-illegal, open border position. Sad, but true.
Watch it tony and jorge will call you unamerican.
You are so correct!
PW (Prince William) County immigrant vote could be copied
Kiran Krishnamurthy Media General News Service Wednesday, July 11, 2007
A newly approved measure by Prince William County that would identify illegal immigrants for deportation and deny services to undocumented residents could prompt other Virginia localities to take similar actions, people on both sides of the debate say.
“We’re in effect rolling up the red carpet,” said Dan Arnold, vice president of Help Save Manassas, a grass-roots group that successfully pushed for Tuesday’s passage by the Prince William Board of Supervisors. “We think it’s a growing movement in Virginia.” The board voted unanimously to direct local police to check the legal status of people in custody if an officer has probable cause to suspect someone has violated an immigration law. The measure also seeks to find ways for the county to lawfully deny public services to illegal immigrants. The police chief and other county department heads will report to the board, in about 60 days, on how they can comply with the directive - for example, what constitutes probable cause to ask about legal status.

In other words, illegal aliens highly disappointed the public is waking up to the reality that we’ve been invaded.

>what constitutes probable cause to ask about legal status.<
Does speaking no or broken English qualify? I hope so.
