“What, pray tell, constitutes probable cause? Is it how someone looks? Is it their accent? Is it what they’re wearing?”

In a word....YES

[RexBeach]

Sometimes profiling is right on the money.

Consider the source. Gerald Connolly is an extremely liberal Democrats and has been known to skirt the law. He is a hypocrite and a liar.

[3AngelaD]

Thinking about this, I have come to the conclusion that Gerald is afraid of what will happen if all the illegals migrate to Fairfax County when other counties crack down. Then his constituents might object to his policies.

Chambley1, did you see:

Gerald Connolly is incompetent and stupid. The jury is still out on corrupt. He is unable to comprehend, much less deal with, the situation. Not fit for the job.

Hope some Freeps remind Tom Davis today.

Fairfax County = Safe haven

See link at post 5. He is certainly walking a fine line. Why else would SAIC have hired him?

[jack_napier]

You mean someone wants to deport MS-13 from NOVA? Could it possibly be that these criminals are starting...*gasp*...wear out their welcome?

[CheyennePress]

Since when did accent not become grounds for guessing whether or not someone was here legally or illegally? It seems pretty clear to me.

And I say that as someone whose girlfriend has an accent. You can tell she ain’t from around here pretty easily. ;)

Fairfax County = Safe haven

Herndon = El Ciudad Hernandez

How about we clap a bomb necklace to each illegal’s throat we catch. We set the timer to go off in 1 month. We tell the illegal that the necklace will be removed in Nogales or Nuevo Laredo. They will deoprt themselves.

Please FREEP the poll at the end of the article.

Do you agree with Fairfax County Chairman Gerald Connolly who disagrees with Prince William County's immigration plan?

Yes 20%

No 80%

Fairfax shouldn't meddle in Prince William County 0%

[SengirV]

Not in fairfax. Apparently they don’t mind when their citizens are attacked with Machete’s.

"“What, pray tell, constitutes probable cause? Is it how someone looks? Is it their accent? Is it what they’re wearing?” he asked."

You bet, dingleberry!

If somebody's wearing Mexican gang colors, doesn't speak English, and doesn't have a Green Card, that, sir, is what you call "probable cause!"

[the_devils_advocate_666]

and limits on how many people can be deported

WTF!

[PurpleMan]

Obviously, Connolly is feeling the pressure from Fairfax County do deal with the inevitable, if not alreay occurring influx of illegals not longer “welcomed” in neighboring PW and Loudon Counties.

How is it said? An easy way to make your opponents stronger is to make yourself weaker.

His fix is not to abopt the same standards but to go after the other counties’ standards.

[apocalypto]

Voted.
