Bi-Partisan Buffoonery On Illegal Immigration
9 October 2007 | Faisal Gill, Prince William County | 44 Comments
It’s hard enough to engage in the debate over illegal immigration without having perhaps well meaning, but completely ignorant candidates running around saying things that are just completely ridiculous.

Another Faisal Gill “Oops Moment”
30 May 2007 | Faisal Gill, 51st HOD District | 42 Comments

29 May 2007 | Faisal Gill, 51st HOD District | Comments Off
Not Larry Sabato gave his readers something to consider on Memorial Day:
Faisal’s problem is not just that he associates himself with people that are thrown out of places for security reasons. It’s the disrespect he shows the professionals that are trying to keep us safe from another terrorist attack.
Remember that on Memorial Day.
