For the last three years, a county in Virginia has remained under the radar in the immigration debate even though it has a law almost identical to Arizona's immigration law.
The ordinance in Prince William County was passed in 2007. It initially required police to check the status of detainees they suspected of being undocumented immigrants but one year later it was revised.
Officers now question all criminal suspects about their immigration status once an arrest is made.
In 2008, the University of Virginia conducted a survey to see what effects, if any, the Prince William County law had. It concluded initial fears about racial profiling did not happen.
It also show that schools saw a drop in English as a second language enrollment. There was also a drop in uninsured mothers giving birth and individuals turned over to immigration and customs enforcement
EVERYBODY gets asked ~ not just the pukes who are suspected of being illegals.
No reason Arizona can't do that.
That's RACIST!
I suppose that's what caused Hussein to spout that we shouldn't worry about them learning English but that we should teach our children to speak Spanish.
bttt
Up here in northern NY State mountains , if us hillbillies seen one of them furiners we call the local cops and the troopers. Them furiners is locked up here in the local hoosgow til ICE comes `n picks em up. Good riddance. We got guns here too yup.
The Washington Times ran an article that quoted and compared California law and the Arizona law-both are practically identical to the federal law. It’s not the wording of the law that matters, it’s Arizona’s dertermination to enforce it.
Feds are refusing to do their job by not processing illegals.
Are we lawless now?
Is it the dicktater who’ll choose who’s a criminal and who’s not, much like the other Hussein?
I don’t have a list available of 0’s protected criminals and ordinary citizens.
The Arizona law, California’s law, the US Federal Law, and many other state or local laws aren’t substantially different.
The problem with Arizona as far as the Hispanic Supremacists and the one world lapdogs are concerned is that AZ intends to actually ENFORCE the law.
How can it be racist - lingualist perhaps, but not racist.
