Take heart, America.
I love a happy story
Love it!
Yes we CAN (reverse the course of the nation)!
He (Asa Hutchinson) will fool the people and reverse his position again if in office as Governor.
His initial federal position (and lack of action when he had a chance to act in D.C.) is his true heart.
These kinds of RINO, sellout Republicans are not to be trusted. Anymore than the Democrats running against them who will do the same thing.
It is a choice, in such a case, between a slow death and a fast death. It's still death.
One of the interesting things about this is that Herndon is located in northern Virginia which is by far the most liberal part of the Commonwealth (It may in fact go to Webb). If the people feel to take action like this there, just think what the rest of the Commonwealth would do (of course the center would never be set up in the rest of the Commonwealth in the first place).
Opponents claim it will allow local police officers to round up people merely suspected of being here illegally, but what the training really does is enable them to keep felons and gang members who are in this country illegally — and also pose a significant threat to public safety — off Herndon’s streets until they can be deported. No more “catch and release.”
Sounds good. Give this land back to it's citizens. Not the slimey politicians who care about nothing other than the money that pads their pockets...
"The town’s amazing transformation from a magnet for illegal aliens last year to a jurisdiction on the cutting edge of federal and local law enforcement efforts this year also proves that even on supposedly intractable issues like immigration, voters at the grassroots level really can make a difference."
The politicians have been bought and paid for, so the average AMERICAN will save us!
Actually, I see way more Bush stickers in Herndon than I do in Falls Church/McLean...
I didn't know about the Islamic dimension to this story. On a slightly related note, the last time I visited my friend in Herndon, I left her neighborhood just as the postal truck was making its rounds. The postman looked just like that freaky Abu Hamza guy from the UK (the guy with the cloudy eyeball). He was decked out in white kurta pajamas, plus prayer cap. I called my friend immediately to laugh about Osama bin Mailman.

Well done!
!!!re: But it’s also where three of the Sept. 11 hijackers stayed the night before they flew American Airlines Flight 77 into the Pentagon.)))!!!
Congratulate the good folks over in Virginia! :-)
I'm curious of the party affiliation of the new council members...Hafta wonder if voters crossed party lines to protect the country...
Herndon elections are non-partisan, so no party labels apply.
The pro-illegal people who were thrown out were all well known liberals. One of their candidates was a token Hispanic (legal) who they thought would bring in a big block of Hispanic votes. He finished dead last in an election were the top six vote-getters are elected.
The losers, who were supported by the Washington Post and all the local papers and with $$$ from La Raza and outside Hispanic pro-illegal groups like Casa de Maryland made the ridiculous claim that the winners, political novices, with big majorities, were the tools of outside interests!!
With this logic (it's not our message, but evil money men and outside interests that caused our defeat) these losers are qualified to be good Democrats.
