Add Spotsylvania County to the growing number of Virginia localities trying to crack down on illegal immigration.
Board of Supervisors chairman Chris Yakabouski plans to ask staff next week to examine how to deny services to people in Spotsylvania County illegally. He says he doesn't know if there is a problem.
Culpeper County supervisors voted this week to affirm English as the county's official language, and Chesterfield County officials plan to issue a report in the coming weeks on which services can be denied to illegal immigrants.
Spotsylvania officials are considering tightening housing measures because of some residents' complaints about overcrowding in homes and too many cars parked on lawns and narrow streets.
Yakabouski said he wants to get ahead of possible problems. Last month, Prince William County supervisors ordered police to check the status of people they believe to be in the country illegally. County officials also directed staff to find ways to deny public services to illegal immigrants. Loudoun County supervisors followed suit.
