Surely you’re not getting your news from this blog. You’ve probably read and heard the latest news on the illegal “immigration” front already, but if not, here’s a bit to chew on:
Local
Prince William County, Virginia, has joined other local counties and cities in the effort to alleviate some of the burden placed on law-abiding citizens and residents by the presence of illegal aliens within its jurisdiction (Herndon stands out as a defiant leader). Yesterday, the Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to deny illegal aliens services paid for by taxpayers (Bravo!) These include housing assistance, business licenses, and drug counseling. More important is this: police will be allowed to ask about legal status. (Source)
As expected, so-called immigration groups will ask for an injunction, and they’ll probably get it. Hopefully, state measures will be strong enough to withstand legal challenge. Earlier this year, the Virginia House of Delegates passed a measure that would block public funds to charities and other organizations that provide services to illegal aliens.
Federal
Back in August, I was all excited about the federal government’s plan to crack down on employees whose Social Security numbers were “questionable.” A federal judge in Mexifornia threw a bucket of ice-cold water on that plan. (Source)
Every time we take one step toward fixing some of this damage…
