Monday evening, the Prince William County Board of Supervisors passed a resolution to start enforcing immigration laws. Prince William, a large suburban county in northern Virginia, adopted this resolution with some excellent provisions.
"All officials, agencies and personnel of the County shall fully comply with and, to the full extent permitted by law, support the enforcement of federal law prohibiting the entry into, presence or residence in the United States of aliens in violation of federal immigration law.
"County Police Officers shall inquire into the citizenship or immigration status of any person detained for a violation of state law or municipal ordinance..."
I'm sure it won't be long before the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund files suit to prevent this resolution from being fully enforced. I wonder why MALDEF even has "American" in its title. There is little American about it.
Hopefully other counties will follow this bold example.

“The assertion that undocumented immigrants are taking advantage of county services in droves is unfounded. Immigrants come here to work, not to take benefits."
I cry bullshit on this. I lived in Prince William for 13 years before moving out in 2006.
Just go to the local Potomac Hospital; it's full of illegals, and they usually don't pay.
