Or, so the signs in the parking lot say, anyway. With regards to the trash, I'm convinced that some of these people make as much mess as they get paid to clean up.

I live in Centreville about 1/2 mile from a Giant. My neighbor and I get our exercise returning abandoned shopping carts back to the Giant. I have pulled many out of the Big Rocky Run. And along the way back to the Giant I get to pick-up the continuous trail of McDonalds trash the entire distance... and I get to see the new graffiti every week in town as I dodge the day laborers camping out on the lawn of Centreville's library... 'tis getting old fast... Ah, the shopping carts… I live in Centreville about 1/2 mile from a Giant. My neighbor and I get our exercise returning abandoned shopping carts back to the Giant.

All of these bleeding hearts cry for the illegals yet they all live in their cushy mantua neighborhoods far away from the white vans clogging the streets, the 15 people to a house, the corona bottles in your yard and the trash blowing around your neighborhood streets. Easy to fight for illegal rights when you don't have to live in the squalor that they create. You know Ron you hit the nail on the head here.

Liberals don't mind illegals until they move in next door. Recall what Gerry did when he had a car accident a few years ago. He is why many people are sick of politics and politicians. Ron,

They feel brazen enough to lie about their participation in a 287(G) program. They feel brazen enough to spend $33 million on an elementary school that is almost double what it should cost on a per sq. ft. basis.[1] They feel brazen enough to try to run a businessman out of town, with raids and false rumors. [1]The people who promote the "LEED" green energy design program claim it only costs an additional $3 per square foot to build a green school. So that does NOT account for the additional cost increase. Why shouldn’t they, park’d?

At least their elected officials seem to be feeling the heat over this issue finally. Ours just laugh about it. If fairfax thinks they have it bad then they should spend a few days in the park.

I hope the message of the social pathologies can be coupled with protection of communities from crime, not fear of any foreigner. It's one thing what you say in a message, quite another how it gets interpreted. All this being said, I think Republicans do have to be careful with the “xenophobe” label.

I lived in springfield for about 8 months in 1990 and they already had some pretty serious problems back then. Some of those developments were built in the 50's and the roads just weren't spec'd to handle anything more than 2 cars per unit.

If the authorities cracked down on overcrowded conditions and street crimes (not to mention sending away those who aren't supposed to be here), the rate of victimization among minority and immigrant communities would decrease drastically.

Here is a story in central North Carolina where I am originally from, read the comments posted by readers: http://wral.com/news/local/story/1413989/ I believe that it is time for groups like Save Manassas and Save Fairfax to go nationwide. There is strength in numbers, and numbers are the only things that politicians are afraid of as was made very apparent here. It is time for every one to take a stand.
