Even NOVA’s getting its knickers in a knot over illegal aliens lately, now that it’s impacting them too.

There have been stories out of Fairfax about residents demanding something be done about illegals packing into homes and affecting their property values.

Hopefully Warner and Webb are hearing from them, too.

I think you’re right about Virginia trending more liberal. I have family not far from Williamsburg and they’ve had a lot of people relocate there after fleeing the mess they’ve made in the NE.

I live in NOVA and the demographics of the region have changed dramatically over the last decade. The ERs are flooded with immigrants. And the county is now trying to enforce zoning and occupancy laws now that the complaints are increasing about overcrowding in homes and apartments. I don't live far from Herndon. There are growing grassroots movements in the region as the problem metastasizes. Manassas is fighting back. No matter what kind of spin the politicians place on it, the problem is growing.

27% of Fairfax County residents are now foreign born. The percentage of white students in the public schools has gone from 67% in 1995 to 50% in 2005. Hispanics increased from 9% to 16%. In Prince William County schools, the percentage of whites has decreased from 70% in 1995 to 45% in 2005 and the Hispanic percentage increased from 6% to 22% during that same period.

Brookings Institute population projections for the DC Metro area by 2036 see the numbers as 45% white, 27% black, 14% Hispanic, 8% Asian, and 2% other.
