Did anyone hear about the guy at the Sonic Super Wash in Woodbridge….

Yes, jm… TV news reported that the owner of car wash claimed that the I. D. documents the illegal presented when applying for the job “appeared to be legit”.

This seems to be a problem nation wide. Clearly his I. D. documents were not “legit”…either false, stolen, borrowed or forged …but as long as they superficially appear to be “legit”, a business owner runs the risk of being slammed for employee discrimination if they try to check for validity.

Virginia, Florida and Nevada were among the states with the steepest declines in their populations of illegal immigrants. Large declines in illegal immigrants in Florida and Nevada were probably because of the housing crisis and the loss of thousands of construction jobs, which immigrants often fill, experts said. Florida’s illegal immigrant population fell by 375,000, to an estimated 675,000, between 2008 and 2009, and Nevada’s decreased by 50,000 to an estimated 180,000 during that period.

The number in Virginia fell by 65,000, to 240,000, a decline that Jeffrey Passel, an author of the report, attributed to the economy as well as to stricter legislation passed in Prince William County in 2007 and 2008.

Although the report’s authors did not have information about population decreases at the county level, a 2009 University of Virginia study of the legislation’s effect on Prince William showed a decline in the number of children enrolled in ESOL classes and in the number of uninsured mothers giving birth, both suggestive of the presence of recent and poor immigrants, said Audrey Singer, who specializes in immigration at the Brookings Institution.

Corey A. Stewart, chairman of the Prince William Board of County Supervisors and a champion of the legislation, said he was “proud” of the county’s role in decreasing the illegal immigrant population. “Our resolution on illegal immigration resulted in thousands of illegal aliens leaving Prince William,” said Stewart, who has called for Virginia to adopt a law similar to Arizona’s.

But Stewart (R-At Large) predicted that the declining numbers of illegal immigrants in Virginia would be temporary without stricter enforcement statewide. “They’re just going to come back once the economy recovers,” he said.

Who will do what for elections - more so locally or General Assembly - most likely will stay up in the air until the whole thing gets sorted out.

The County is already on record for the Magisterial Districts of saying we’ll just move the lines around to balance out the Districts - roughly 57,000 people in each. No money to establish a new one ($2million as I recall be said in the BOCS session). The lines will all be settled by next June on those Districts (hopefully), then it will be the “who can run against Principi”.

The GA disticts for House and Senate are another story. One rumble is split up the 29th Senate and realign the others….and that is only one of many rumbles. Colgan not running is more the “sure bet”, and the other thing is where the lines end up.

N&M had the piece yesterday on the Federal side of the issue. So “Stewart for Senate” would hang on if the choice is State or Federal run.

It will all be anyone’s guess until the new lines and maps are made, I wager.

Lennie, Don’t worry about Stewart,he can take care of himself.The first thing to come up is Chair of the Board and I am sure Stewart will run for that,plus he has a Great chance of Winning.

There are all kinds of romors going on out there and most of them are not true.There are people that like to run a rumor as it stirs people up.This is nothing but confusion and it would be better to not think about it.

Plenty of time to seek out a good,deserving candidate.

Perhaps some of our loving Americans that can’t see any futher than the tip of their nose will come forth to spring him.

Jacobsen makes me sick in his stupid analysis of a Miss Universe Pagent and the realities of life.
He has been a kook all his life and only gets worse with the years.

Does anyone stop to think that with the symbol of the door screen,chair in the yard, they put a new meaning on what is their purpose? This is all part of taking over,changing our way of life and meaning of anything or everything we ever stood behind.Why would anyone want to cave into such nonsence? It’s time we speak up
loud and clear,that people like Jacobson does not speak for us.

While all you conservative zealots are frantically searching for Obama’s birth certificate, someone better check to see if Ken has a law degree. If this was a liberal, you guys would be tripping over yourselves, in a lather, to exclaim the woeful waste of our precious tax dollars. Are you thinking what I’m thinking? Sarah Palin’s VP nominee in 2012!!! Ohhhh Boyyeee!

Corey is a weasel just like most politicians. He isn’t serious about doing anything about illegals. He just wants to get elected and will promise anything to make that happen. Then he may or may not go on some half-ass campaign to actually do what he said he would. The 2007 resolution is proof of that. A lot of good that fiasco did other than scare 75% of the illegals across the river for a year only to see them return when their apartment leases expired in Maryland 6-12 months later, only this time as renters. Once they figured out that they had a friend in Deane and that Corey was impotent to force his hand then they all yelled ARIBA! and returned as soon as they could, but not before leaving an EPIC mofo foreclosure disaster in their wake that we are still choking on.

Allowing free and open speech takes guts. moon has none.

Citizen 12 - That’s just a great piece of accurate writing.

Cynic - the first and real one.

However, while the purpose of two doors seemed to elude many of our brothers and sisters from south of the border, their creative nature has yet indeed provided a new use for this “unnecessary” door. Rather than to follow the traditional practice of tearing off this obstruction on move in day, they have found it provides a means of advertising the spare rooms without the costly and unsightly yard sign.

Add this to the ever growing list of “cultural exchange” brought to our neighborhoods such as multi family living in a single family home, avoiding the unsightly trash can in favor of open storage of garbage on site, the home operated restaurant with pickup and delivery service, automotive stereo testing centers, all night pharmacy pickup and delivery, neighborhood dating service and let’s not forget the front yard block party/ family reunion.

How those of us in suburbia got by without all this culture for so long is a true mystery.
