Virginia Illegal Immigration: Crime skyrockets in 1 county, plummets right next door

WASHINGTON – One of the wealthiest counties in America reports crime skyrocketing by 22 percent in the first quarter of 2008, while its neighbor saw crime plummet by 19.3 percent in the same time period – coinciding with a get-tough policy on illegal immigration.

Prince William County in Northern Virginia, a bedroom community for the nation's capital, made national news late last year with a crackdown on illegal immigration that supervisors believed was triggering higher crime and lower living standards.

Prince William County reported a 19.3 percent decline in crime, with chairman of the Board of County Supervisors Corey Stewart attributing the downturn to the hard line the county has taken toward illegal immigrants.

"One quarter doesn't tell us a lot," said county police spokeswoman Mary Ann Jennings. "It shows us where they may be some trends developing."

The ignorant one did the appropriate thing, and ran off.......

That's standard operating procedure for liberals when confronted by things like "facts" and "law". It's a little hard to reconcile that with their feelings.

All I know about DC is he had something to do with housing. Never could figure out if he was the one who loaned or the one that sold but I think he was the one that owned rental prop and may be an RE agent. Probably had prop renting to illegals.

I remember him moaning and posting how many RE listings there were because in Prince William VA (is that anywhere near DC?. He even posted a list of how many homes were for sale and foreclosed. It was so...sad, the illegals and others who got homes they couldn’t afford were losing them. Who’d a thunk that?!

Have some compassion, he’s probably hurting terribly financially right now. I feel so bad for him. Taking advantage of people and now, it’s all dried up.
