I was taught to love my neighbors. Not only those that are American citizens. We are all part of the human race and we are all deserving of, well, respect first and foremost, but also of the opportunity to have health care, receive an educations, etc. It is not appropriate for anyone to be racist or promote stereotypes.

To Frank: Ignorance does not prevail in Prince William County Virgina, but in the minds of people like you who would let this country become a third world nation. Perhaps you've been living on the Left Coast too long to know what the real world is like. For your information, Prince William County VA has one of the highest per capita incomes in the nation. Of course you probaly sit on a street corner each day begging to support your pot habit.

To Frank Immigrants come legally which millions do each year. Illegal invaders are not welcome.

The people of Prince William County have a right to protect themselves. Aiding and abetting illegal aliens is a felony. Federal Immigration and Nationality Act Section 8 USC 1324(a)(1)(A)(iv)(b)(iii) "Any person who . . . encourages or induces an alien to . . . reside . . . knowing or in reckless disregard of the fact that such . . . residence is . . . in violation of law, shall be punished as provided . . . for each alien in respect to whom such a violation occurs . . . fined under title 18 . . . imprisoned not more than 5 years, or both." Section 274 felonies under the federal Immigration and Nationality Act, INA 274A(a)(1)(A): A person (including a group of persons, business, organization, or local government) commits a federal felony when she or he: * assists an alien s/he should reasonably know is illegally in the U.S. or who lacks employment authorization, by transporting, sheltering, or assisting him or her to obtain employment, or * encourages that alien to remain in the U.S. by referring him or her to an employer or by acting as employer or agent for an employer in any way, or * knowingly assists illegal aliens due to personal convictions.

Where is it happening again? Of course, ignorance prevails in another state, fearful of immigrants will take their $9.00 an hour jobs! Good luck on your prosperity...

America does not have to give illegal invaders an education. Any judge that comes to that conclusion is the biggest fool that has ever held the position. Any measure that punishes the traitors that hire invaders is the best answer. These people deserve nothing. America is for Americans not an invasion force.

I applaud the measures being taken by PW County. Keep it going and don't stop. You will be the leader and all others will follow. Set the standards high. I am sick and tired of working so hard and paying taxes and seeing these immigrants take advantage. Become a citizen the legal way and then we'll help you! I am sick of going anywhere and seeing 140 different languages. This is America and we speak and write and read in English. Stop it the many lanaguages on every street corner.
